BRIAN WILLIAMS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On his diet:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot pass an Arby\u2019s or Taco Bell without swerving into the parking lot. I see folks who read the content label on a piece of chocolate. I don\u2019t want to live that way. Eating mashed yeast and potting soil is not my idea of a fulfilling meal.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his grooming regimen:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt consists of a disposable razor in the morning, and later, on set, our guy slaps me with makeup, and I just hope I don\u2019t have a clump of hair sticking up.\u201d<\/p>\n

On aging:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll guys wake up and expect to see an 18-year-old in the mirror. Lately, the guy I see looks a heck of a lot more like my late father, but there\u2019s nothing you can do about it! Just live your life and realize it may be true that the only guy who really looks good with three days\u2019 growth is George Clooney.\u201d

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the benefits of environmental work:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI spend a lot of my time, often with my children, in some of the world\u2019s most beautiful landscapes\u2014kayaking in Chile, camping all over the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

JAMES BROLIN<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStress can take years off your life. I don\u2019t get rattled about many things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe thinks everything has to get done right now. My theme is, \u2018What\u2019s your hurry?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2013 Brolin on his wife of 14 years, Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n

JON HUNTSMAN<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On aging well:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>Your inner strength is as important as your outer strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

SCOTT BAKULA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On his Playgirl <\/em>cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d been this guy on Quantum Leap, <\/em>and I thought I\u2019d mix it up a bit. If I\u2019d posed naked, I would have regretted it, but happily I didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of guys who are more famous and more good-looking than I am. They\u2019re the sex symbols.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANTONIO BANDERAS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On pressure to look younger:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>I\u2019m a little bald, but I don\u2019t think the pressure is just a Hollywood thing. It\u2019s a social thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

On staying in shape:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>I work out every morning, and when I\u2019m finished, the first thing I put in my body is white tea. Everything is about balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

DENZEL WASHINGTON<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDenzel\u2019s mystique is that he projects self-confidence,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see his performances and know you\u2019re looking at a grounded person.\u201d<\/p>\n

–Don Cheadle, his costar in Flight<\/em><\/p>\n

SAMUEL L. JACKSON<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHis look is ageless\u2014it was even when he was young.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t need hair\u2014and there aren\u2019t many men you can describe that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got so many personas, yet he\u2019s always Sam: a down-to earth guy who can stop a crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n

— Kasi Lemmons, director of Caveman\u2019s<\/em> Valentine <\/em>and Eve\u2019s Bayou<\/em><\/p>\n

JON BON JOVI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was obsessed in junior high with a certain pair of leather pants he wore, but it\u2019s actually Jon\u2019s brain that makes him sexy. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that when he smiles, he lights up the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

— Sugarland\u2019s Jennifer Nettles<\/p>\n

LIAM NEESON<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLiam is very manly onscreen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like a mountain. He doesn\u2019t have to use a lot of words; he just has to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got the look that says he\u2019s got more hidden inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

— Olivier Megaton, director of Taken<\/em> 2<\/em><\/p>\n

YO-YO MA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On what makes a person sexy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c <\/strong>It\u2019s deportment, comportment, grace, spunk, and character. Age is not a factor.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his best feature:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>Probably my mischievousness. I can\u2019t stay serious for too long. I\u2019m basically up to no good.\u201d<\/p>\n

PAUL SERENO<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On using his looks to his advantage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to demonstrate science in a very exciting but truthful way for the public. If you can communicate well, and your looks help to inspire young people, then use them.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANDY MILL<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On staying youthful:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m almost 60, going on 6. I look outside and think, \u2018What mountain can I climb? How fast can I go?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
