NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
Who are the most gorgeous black men in the world? This thread is open to nominations till Sunday January 9th 2010 at 12:00 GMT (7:00 am New York time). That will be followed by a poll and then a post on the top ten winners.
You can nominate as many men as you like in the comments below.
- He must be famous enough to have an article in the Wikipedia.
- He can be alive or dead or well past his prime.
“Black” means anyone Americans would regard as black according to their One Drop Rule. Doubtful cases will be settled by whether the English-language Wikipedia lists them as African American or otherwise says they are part black or black African by blood.
The 30 men with the most nominations and seconds will make the poll. In case of ties, the one listed earlier in the thread will be favoured.
Pictures: If you provide a link to a picture, put it on its own line. That way people will be able click on it and see.

Ooh, Annette! Blair Underwood is sexy as hell! That is one fine man. 😉
I would definitely say, along with Blair, that I find these men gorgeous:
Hill Harper…I know he is on the short side, but he is so cute. Those sensitive brown eyes and that beautifully shaped mouth makes me have dirty thoughts.
Denzel…he’s older now but there’s still something about him.
Idris Elba…need I say more?
There are probably others, but my mind is a blank at this time.
