Who was hotter? Baio or Aames? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who was hotter in the 80's, Scott Baio or Willie Aames? I know Baio has the advantage because he played the lead in CIC and Aames played a goof, but don't forget the buffed Aames from the movie Paradise. A tough decision.

If you mean by 'hotter' more exposure and fame, then I think Scott Baio has to get the nod.

It seems like he was always everywhere on TV what with the Happy Days fame where he started. He got his own show "Joanie Loves Chachi" and then he got another show "Charles in Charge." He even managed to stay busy getting a spot on Diagnosis Murder in the early-mid 1990s.

Willie Aames had his spot on Eight is Enough, but what after that besides a few spoof movies (remember Zapped with Scott Baio?).

He came back to TV thanks to Scott and his role on Charles. Willie is now playing Bibleman and producing videos and taking his stage show on the road to churches nationwide.

At least he kicked all the drugs and has turned his personal life around.

Scott is definitely a lot better looking I think. Especially when he was a little boy on Happy Days... I mean, the kid was adorable. As far as what they've done with their lives, I think Willie Aames has done something wonderful with his life. He shares the Word of God with children everywhere, I think that's awesome!

Aames and Baio were pretty equal early on. Watching Willie in a loin cloth in Paradise was nice. Baio still looked like a stud through CIC, but Aames had started to look pudgy.

You mean who is cuter-looking? Ooooh, baby, without a doubt, it's Scotty! ^_~

Amy · 10-30-2001, 10:00 PM

I will admit Scott was a total babe. He had the ultimate face and body. There were only a few shirtless scenes for Scott in CIC, but seeing that chest and muscular arms - whew! But Aames was pretty hot early on. He was pumped up nice in Paradise, and the loin cloth, well it was a nice touch. Ultimately, Baio still wins...but it was close!

AlexPolinskyFan · 10-31-2001, 05:21 PM

Well, i don't know if i can really answer this because i don't think either of them are "hot". But if i had to choose, i'd say Scott, no doubt. I couldn't consider Aames to be anything near hot, no offense. He seemed more like a stupid goof-off than a sex icon.

Amy · 11-01-2001, 06:57 AM

There are some great pictures of Scott and Willie on the Lost in the Past site. Many from CIC. If you don't think these two were sexy, take a look at the shirtless pictures. They had the best bodies of the 80's. How else did they sleep with the hottest babes in Hollywood - Pamela Anderson, Heather Locklear....? I agree that Baio was better, but don't under estimate Aames until you see the photos.

It's amazing what a few years and alot of time at the gym did for Aames.

Nice picture of Aames. It's like Lembeck does Tarzan. Willie was pretty nice looking then, but he had lost it by the time Charles in Charge was on. Baio was way better looking, both body and face.
