In sort of a retro way. His personality made him cute.
I think he was underrated.

Was he considered good looking for the time?

yeah he was cute! :)

Oh yes! he was a hottie with a cute bottie! :lol:

See, I never found him that attractive physically :lol: He was "cute" as YoAdrian said, because he was funny and he loved Lucy and he had a good personality, but as far as being physically attractive, I guess he just wasn't my type.

I think he's hot. He's sexist and can be a jerk, but he has more balls than the men on tv today. LOL

He was a brilliant man, nice-looking but IMO would not take your breath away. Lucy could have done better looks-wise; she was stunningly beautiful with fantastic legs (she was a chorus girl once after all)

Oh yes, he was a hottie for sure!! :D

Oh yes, he was a doll!

Goes both ways for me. There are times when I think he's sexy and other times when he's just 'an average guy.' The only thing that turns me off about him are those skinny, chicken legs.. thankfully he rarely wore shorts. ;)
I love the look he had in Cuban Pals; the black open shirt with the necklace. Very very sexy. It seemed more natural and right on him then the normal suit and tie.

Funny how men just looked older in those years too because of the clothes and hair. He was only in his mid 30's in the beginning right?

I loved how they did the slick hair back then lol! I think the mix between smoking, late nights, drinking and bad skin *sometimes I notice marks on his jaw line area* are what really aged him.. not really the clothes etc. to be honest I think he looked his age in the 50's but for some reason once the mid-60's came around he seemed (IMO) to age rapidly.
I'm not sure if he was considered 'good looking' back then. I think most women were probably to busy swooning over other big named actors and singers to really notice Desi's looks.. (could be wrong I dunno.. didn't come around until 1987 lol).

Are you kidding me??? :faint:

He wasn't a ladies' man for his singing...;) Poor Lucy. I can easily see why she fell for him...unfortunately Desi knew other women found him irresistable.

Wasn't he a big name actor and singer as well?

correction he wasnt cute,he wasHOT!especially when he was younger

I must have a thing for Latin TV guys - not only was Desi a hottie, but so was Gregory Sierra (Barney Miller, Sanford & Son, Soap). You knew I was going to bring that up at some point, Irene!! ;) :rofl:

He was extremely hot on the show! He was so distinguished looking and manly! He's one of the reasons I watch! I'd call him "Papi" for SURE!
