Multiple people in this thread saying young Stalin was hot. Doesn't mean they're communists.
And likewise, this doesn't mean I'm a catholic conservative & monarchist who hates democracy.
Serious answer: Che Guevara
Oh yeah, even with the hot mess that is the fadcial hair, he is totally a snacc
Young Lenin legit looks like a child molester.That's Stalin though.
Young Lenin looked like this:
Amelia Earhart could fly me around the world any day.
Yall had to get one last hurrah in before the weekend ended.
I feel like Stalin was only fuckable for a short period. Or he just happened to come out looking good in that one photo.
How I'd imagine Shane to look like if they did Walking Dead: Dawn of the Bolsheviks.
Holy lol, I thought I was going to be the first to say Lovelace. You beat me!Ada Lovelace. She looked... about the opposite of how I expected the world's first computer programmer to look.
Her name was Fillide Melandroni. She was Caravaggio's girlfriend at the time and a very high priced courtesan. You wouldn't have been able to afford her.
I always thought whomever Caravaggio got to pose as Judith was fine as fuck.
Jeanne D'Arc is una chica en fuego.
Mine would be Franz Von Papen.
More like "Daddy" Von Papen amirite?
Oh yeah, even with the hot mess that is the fadcial hair, he is totally a snacc
Dude went from looking like Paulo Dybala to Rio Ferdinand. Are you sure that's the same person? 🤔
i'm pretty sure this lady put a curse on my bloodlineAmelia Van Buren
Why I don't know. Angry looking old timey school marms must be my fetish.
I half expected this to be an anime thread.
Ernest Hemingway:

How about the other famous Ernest?
That's Stalin though.
Young Lenin looked like this:
Goddamn, he was balding already?
Wait - he has an iPod headset?I feel like Stalin was only fuckable for a short period. Or he just happened to come out looking good in that one photo.
Wait - no AirPods?
Wait - two sets?
And definitely not a flattering shot, this one. Wouldn't want to be the photographer. At least Adolf was very adamant all photos which had him in funny poses were to be destroyed, I wonder what Joe thought about this one...
Hemingway in the military was handsome:
German Riesco, President of Chile in the early 1900s:
German Riesco, President of Chile in the early 1900s:
He was so low class
He was handsome up until he died tbh
WhatLewis Powell, one of the men involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln and former confederate soldier (he also tried to assassinate a guy the same night as lincoln but failed lol)
dude looks like a fuckin' early 90s heartthrob with that hair, that jaw, those features
How the FUCK is this person from the 1800s
That photo doesnt even LOOK like it's from that century

Looks like an artsy pop album cover, Chainz of Love. His girl left him and he can't break free.
Does this count as a historical figure???
Also, as long as he doesn't fucking smile, I guess. lmao
Charlotte Bronte was pretty cute:
Flattering version of the only professional portrait that was actually taken from life:
She also drew a funny charicature self-portrait
Do modern reinterpretations of historical figures without real "portraits" or photographs count because if so HOO HOO HOO boy, just... gonna point at the entirety of the Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Sengoku Basara, Warriors Orochi, and Fate casts (that are adults). Yes, even Dong Zhuo. I might not be personally attracted to a lot of them but they're all pretty good lookin'. Special mention to Samurai Warriors' Ranmaru, who made me go from "yeah I might like guys? No, wait, can't be right" to "yeah fucking love men".
As far as people who we know how they actually looked from detailed artistic renderings or we have photographs of? I always thought Audrey Hepburn, Shi Peipu, and Alexander the Great (based on this bust, the portrait of him we have is very... not "snacc"-y) were rather cute. I know a lot of people don't even know who Shi Peipu is, so, here:
Looking through some other historical portraits...
George Miller Bligh and Gainsborough Dupont are quite nice looking as well.
Also honorable mention to Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Uesugi Kenshin. While there are no extant detailed potraits of them from when they were alive, contemporary accounts say they were very good looking- Kenshin in particular once being described as beautiful with a word apparently reserved for describing goddesses. So, that's a thing.
