Underrated Cuties: Famous Fine Men You May Not Have Noticed
Many of us have had our long-term crushes for ages such as Denzel Washington and Blair Underwood, but we are here to tell you that there are plenty of good and handsome men you can add to your list that you’ve probably been overlooking. Here are some of our picks for good looking fellas you have been missing out on.
CHADWICK BOSEMAN
On top of being handsome, one of the reasons we love Chadwick Boseman so much is his uncanny ability to become so believable in any role that he plays. Whether it is the Godfather of Soul James Brown or baseball legend Jackie Robinson, Boseman’s performances always keep us on the edge of our seats! We can’t wait for his next film and we are already counting down the days until he wins his first Academy Award!
BRUNO MARS
If the Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this year didn’t convince you that Bruno Mars has amazing stage presence and dazzling performance skills, then nothing will. We love this firecracker of a cutie! Mars stays busy with touring but is rumored to be making treks back into the studio for work on a forthcoming album that we can’t wait to hear!
CHIWETEL EJIOFOR
Although he’s been acting for a minute, most of the world learned about this dapper UK-born Nigerian man after his Academy Award nominated performance in 12 Years a Slave. This hunk has been the buzz of Hollywood since his tear-jerking performance in this year’s Best Picture winner.
FRANK OCEAN
Most of us were initially shocked when Frank Ocean was so upfront about his sexuality (he announced that he’s bisexual), but that in no way kept us from being amazed by his music and by his dreamy good looks. This fascinating artist has topped the charts and has captured our attention for the past few years with his thought-provoking lyrics.
TERRENCE J
Many of us have had a crush on Terrence J since he was the co-host of BET’s 106 & Park. This handsome hunk has the gift of gab and is very entertaining to watch, on not only the small screen, but now the big screen, as Jenkins has made his way into the blockbuster franchise that is Think Like a Man. If that’s not enough, he always gives us a reason to stay tuned into E! News for sure!
TJ HOLMES
You would be hard-pressed to find a sexier brother on the news than TJ Holmes! This photogenic journalist always brings a sense of integrity and honesty to his work that we have come to appreciate over the years. While the public slept on his short-lived BET show, “Don’t Sleep!” we can’t sleep on Holmes’ good looks.
JAY ELLIS
This South Carolina native has had our tongues wagging since he became the lead of BET’s The Game. This lovable actor just oozes effortless sex appeal with that confident smile. This cutie has come a long way since making his way onto our TV screens with appearances on various reality shows. Keep up the good work, Jay!
MICHAEL FASSBENDER
This Irish-German actor has made our hearts melt recently with his amazing work on the big screen. Michael Fassbender (who has dated quite a few black women, including Sleepy Hollow star Nicole Beharie) has been one of the most highly acclaimed actors of recent years. He is at the top of his game, and is quite dreamy if you haven’t noticed.
J. COLE
When all of the unrest unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri last summer, one of the first black celebrities on the scene to talk to the community and speak on the injustice of Mike Brown’s death was none other than rapper J. Cole. On top of the fact that he’s adorable, we love him even more for standing up and making his voice heard during such a difficult time. We always love a man who is courageous and handsome to boot!
TIM MCGRAW
Tim McGraw might be one of the few reasons why we pay attention to country music. This 47-year-old is in tip-top shape these days and has made many of us get turned up and turned on to some of his greatest hits. We all know he got into a bit of trouble earlier this year while on tour when a fan got beside herself trying to rip off his jeans, but in all honesty, we can’t really fault her for trying, can we?
JOHN LEGENDWhen it comes to good looking crooners, we would almost certainly be obliged to include John Legend. This 35-year-old cutie (and newlywed husband to supermodel Chrissy Teigen) has been melting our hearts with his songs for nearly a decade. We love his sensitivity, playfulness and the sincerity that comes across in nearly every note that he plays and every lyric he sings.

Deola
September 12, 07:18I am a huge Cumberbatch fan and I think he is a great actor, that is pretty much where it stops though. I have never gotten the hype that surrounds the man with regards to his hotness. To each his own sha.
pinkpanthertb

Samaurai

But I’m here for J-Cole and Terence J (they so cute,they know they don’t even need to spell out their names in full,lol). There’s something so boyish about Terence…he’s like ur friends cute, younger brother whom u’d like to lure into a secure/undisclosed location…#OkBye
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 06:41Lmao! Oh Chestnut, you put things in words that delight my soul.
Colossus
September 12, 06:22I agree, Benedict Cumberbatch should have been here, that guy is hot and his voice? OMG!!!!
I don’t get it, what is Chiwetel doing here? Did you think, “hey let me make a list of cute guys and just for kicks I’ll throw in an ugly one to see if anybody notices”
chestnut
September 12, 06:34Lol…chiwetel has his moments tho…
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 06:43WHAT!?!?! Lol.
Samaurai
September 12, 06:41Chinwetel almost always has an unkempt look about him.
Chizzie
September 12, 06:43Fell in love with Chiwetel after seeing his fine hairy manly bare ass in 12years A Slave… I just want him to sit on my face all day!!
And John Legend looks alot like someone. ..who ripped my heart to shreds a few years back and left me ‘damaged’…which may be would explain a couple of things.
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 06:47Now now Chizzie dear, dont stop there, please keep talking… *passes him a cup of honeyed tea* So about that guy…

#TeamKizito
September 12, 07:09Hmmm. Been crushing on Frank Ocean for as long as I can remember. (If only I was in Ghana when he arrived there.) But is he truly BI or he’s just confused and covering up? | J Cole’s just catching my attention since. Chai.
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 07:18Funny thing is, I never knew who Frank Ocean was until he sang his way out of the closet. And I looked at him with his boyish good looks and I was like, damn how did I miss you on the celebrity circuit.
Blaq Jaqs
September 12, 07:13John Legend… Beautiful, beautiful man. he’s never been underrated in my opinion. Bruno Mars should not be here unless we are referring to his writing and crooning…
Deola
September 12, 07:15John Legend is too pretty abeg…I like my men to have a lil bit of ruggedness about them.
A rugged man has seen life, and has enough experience to know which buttons to press to send you into several bouts of ecstasy.
And trust me Michael Fassbender is more known for his Írin íshé than his expert acting skills. Okbye
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 07:22Yes o! I saw that his thing in that movie he did where he was some sort of sex addict
chestnut
September 12, 07:42*grabs deola and pinky by their shirts and shaking them desperately* what’s “irin ishe” oooooo???!!!! Pls u pipu should answer me…start talking plsssss! *crying desperately* what is “Irin ishe”????!!!!
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 08:12Hahahahahahaa! Limme joor. *shoving Chestnut off and readjusting my ruffled blouse*
SavingGrace
September 13, 08:01But his rough edges make him look rugged and desirable.
Micky
September 12, 07:19Terrence J!!!!!!!! I just wanna pull him out of Think like a man and kiss him to a coma!!!
Neon
September 12, 07:28*peering* Maybe Frank Ocean! (when I’m numb from novocaine we can swim good) that dark skin and smile though #SuperPower. Tim McGraw… *gives Faith Hill the side eye while yodelling Tennessee style*
JArch
September 12, 08:18I had the pleasure of meeting Chiwetel Ejiofor in person some years ago….Totally by accident..
Good lawd!!! that man is deliciously sexy in person and then add that his British accent with a twinge of Nigerian- me thinks he tries too hard to force that Nigerian accent tho- ahhh he’s just indescribable.
He has that Johnny Depp vibe going for him and don’t get me started on those his beards. Scruffy and looks good enough to play with. I like my men clean shaven (cos I think beards are highly overrated if you ask me) but men like Chiwetel prove that its ok to bend the rules a little and swoon over men with beards lol
Dennis Macauley
September 12, 08:27Did you watch “12 years a slave”? Did you see those cakes?
#IWontSayNoMore
JArch
September 12, 08:39I almost carried last in seeing 12yrs A Slave.
The cakes alone were enough to get me preggers. You just wanna grab em while he’s doing things to you
Why Lupita got to enjoy all that sexiness on set and not me is beyond baffling
pinkpanthertb
September 12, 08:52Lmao! Oh Jarch
Mr Bassey
September 12, 08:56I live me some Terrence J……how come I didn’t see Brian White on this list. The ass on that brother is unbelievable.
Absalom
September 12, 10:23Chiwetel’s looks would have worked for gay men of the 1950s – not for us in 2014. He should have a haircut, shave and wax. He risks aging before we realise how truly sexy he is.
Terence J. No. Too pretty.
John Legend. Yes. Those sleepy eyes and full lips.
Chadwick Boseman. Yes.
Bruno Mars. No. Something depressing about his looks.
Neon
September 12, 12:27I concur!

September 12, 10:54None of these guys do anything for me.
Can someone just do a mancrush on “JAMES FRANCO” I would give my left balls to spend a night with him.
Sigh!! *daydreams* spend the day hanging out with Kanye west … then go home to spend the night with James Franco.… and my life would be perfect.
I think something is terribly wrong with me, I have started crushing massively on “Oscar Pistorius” sigh.
Absalom
September 12, 11:59Just don’t get yourself shot 4 times through a bathroom door sha.
Deola
September 12, 16:38Lol…this is so wrong, yet devishly funny!!
Khaleesi
September 12, 11:18Chadwick Boseman. Frank Ocean, Terence J, John Legend …. Yum Yum Yum …. I’d pay you to kidnap me and throw me in a locked cage with these gorgeous dreamy men … as for all the others especially the white ones ***BBM talk to the hand smiley*** they don’t even show up on my gaydar!!!
Dennis Macauley
September 12, 13:09The queen has spoken!
