It's not even so much about how physically attractive he is. For me personally, its how he shows up for interviews in a suit (who does that anymore?) and how he totally charms Oprah (for example) and how he does a great movie and then disappears for awhile only to come back after a hiatus with another great movie.
I can't explain it. He just strikes me as the 'older era' type of of star who commands respect or something. It's like Clooney. Not the greatest actor, but people respect him. He's smart, handsome and his interests go beyond Hollywood. People want to be with him. I'm one who is easily turned off by celebrities who are in my face too much for too long. I'm inclined to like those who keep me wanting more. That's why I've always liked Redford. He used to be breathtakingly handsome, but for me it's more that he's a mystery and I know nothing about him outside of his performances. I probably don't make sense at all....
