He may seem a bit delicate on film, but Jude Law is surprisingly manly in the flesh. And what big hands he has. His moustache, though it has echoes of Magnum PI, really suits him.

As the man that women want and the man that men want to be - and indeed the man that some men want and want to be - it seems that Clooney can really do no wrong. Like a proper old-fashioned star, Clooney is the model of gentlemanly sophistication, the most eligible bachelor on the planet.

Look into his eyes. Are you feeling sleepy? When you awake, every time someone says "recession", you'll want to eat an onion like it's an apple. Or perhaps the Penzance am-dram production of Aladdin is missing its Abanazer. Or is this what happens when you attain Operating Thetan level eight in Scientology?
