Oh, I would totally do Young Magneto. Even if he is wearing a denim jacket.

Hot. Love the jacket - the whole look, actually.

Damn!
Posted by: Michael W. | Sep 1, 2010 2:52:43 PM
wow! he could step, without any adjustments, from the 1960s (from when this photo was taken, i assume) right into the 2010s and be completely up to date.

@Jonathon Edwards:
Agreed. Sir Ian is such a great example, unlike those twits on that stupid Logo A-list show.

Posted by: joe | Sep 1, 2010 4:45:31 PM
So he didn't develop his coolness with age. He always had it!
Posted by: sparks | Sep 1, 2010 5:10:04 PM
Has anyone actually dated this
photo? Hot as it is, the photography
looks suspiciously modern.
Posted by: Twistup | Sep 1, 2010 5:22:07 PM
You mean carbon dated it?
Posted by: TANK | Sep 1, 2010 5:27:43 PM

Posted by: Twistup | Sep 1, 2010 5:33:23 PM

Why Hello there GQ.

Sir Ian, carry on.
Posted by: SeriouslySick | Sep 1, 2010 8:58:55 PM
I would totally do Magneto! Anyway, he reminds me a bit of Anderson Cooper in this picture.
Posted by: Terry | Sep 1, 2010 10:24:49 PM
I've always thought he looked attractive for his age, but right here he is downright sexy.
With his looks, talents, and style he must have had A LOT of fun in his day.
Posted by: Joe | Sep 1, 2010 11:34:41 PM
What a great photo.... of a great man!
Posted by: james Brown | Sep 2, 2010 6:31:29 AM
Joe, as long as Sir Ian is alive and healthy he is still having his day.
Posted by: Gabe R L | Sep 2, 2010 12:13:44 PM
Sexy...
Posted by: Dave | Sep 2, 2010 2:52:12 PM
God he was sexy. He's still handsome, mind you.
