A photo of young Marlon Brando dressed in a pair of supershort short shorts and a white T playing a game of baseball has people feeling awfully thirsty.
The photo was shared by the Instagram page gr8erdays, which regularly publishes thirsty pictures of Hollywood hunks, teen heartthrobs, and male fitness models from yesteryear.
“Good find,” one person commented. “Never seen this eye-catcher.”
“This guy knew he was doing,” another added. “Teasing balls.”

In addition to being a phenomenal actor and excellent lover, Brando was known for being open about his sexuality.

In 1976, he told his biographer Gary Carey, “Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed.”

He added, “I have never paid much attention to what people think about me.”
We didn’t realize Brando was also an amateur ball player. And a catcher at that!

Brando was a hunk in his younger days, no question, as were several of these other guys pictured. And these were the days before guys spent hours every day at the gym, took enhancement hormones and drugs, and shaved their body hair.
Does anyone recall the gorgeous guy, and I do mean gorgeous, who was in his 20’s when he was playing with a stunt gun and blew his brains out between takes of the movie he was filming back in the 80’s?

Jon-Erik Hexum. Sexiest voice ever.

I remember when that happened. Sad, Jon-Erik Hexum. Google his picture. He was dreamy, a Henry Cavill type

Do you mean Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee’s son?
Scout
No, it wasn’t Brandon Lee I was thinking of, but I found him on a google search. He was Jon-Erik Hexum. A major heart-throb!

The photo of Marlon Brando was taken in the late 1940’s or in the 1950’s when he was working at Theatre by the Sea in Matunuck RI., a summer theatre that is still in operation today. FYI, the person at bat is actress Carol Channing. I have seen the original photo

In the late 70s there was a bartender in Omaha Neb raska of all places since that is where Marlon came from who looked just like him. He worked at the Diamond bar and was the sexiest man I ever knew. He was the best sex ever. Whenever I see a picture of Marlon I think of this guy. He died in the early days of the last epidemic ignored by a gop president

That’s all well and good but he later became a horrible, selfish, unkind person who didn’t care how he treated others. So, celebrate his supposed hotness but it doesn’t change who he was.

John Erik Hexum!

Nobody beats Sean Connery as 007… but Lazenby was hotter.

In his youth Brando was one of the most beautiful men to ever grace the screen or stage.

I can spot a handsome man from 100 paces but for some strange reason I never found Marlon Brando appealing at all.
Cary Grant, on the other hand..,
