I was asked to give two picks at 8asians.com for the “Top 15 Sexiest Asian Males, As Rated By the Women of 8A” list. I assumed that I was supposed to choose famous people, as opposed to people I just knew in real life.
So here are my picks from the list:
Russell Wong. He’s not full-Asian, but I’m going to go with old skool: Russell Wong in his heyday. Russell’s looking a little older and Clooney-esque lately, but I love Clooney too, so it’s no surprise he tops my list.
Takeshi Kaneshiro. And for a nice Japanese-Taiwanese hybrid, I vote for Takeshi Kaneshiro. I especially liked him with long hair and shooting arrows in House of Flying Daggers… kind of an Asian Legolas, but hotter than Orlando Bloom…
Joz’s Honorable Mentions: I had a hard time narrowing down to two. Honorable mentions votes go to Daniel Henney, Yul Kwon, Rick Yune, Donnie Yen, Randall (Randy) Park, and Wong Lee Hom. Not in that order. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, Randy and I know each other from our UCLA days, so it’s kind of weird since I know him in real life. But I’ve always had a mini-crush on Randy, more so because he is so freakin’ talented and charismatic. Of course, he’s pretty easy on the eyes, too.
ok, joz, why did you choose the guys who’ve been rumored to be gay? are you trying to out them?!
i remember meeting russell wong back in 96 at a GAPSN function and i kinda lost my crush on him after that–even back then you could start seeing the wrinkles…it wouldn’t be bad for me now, but when i was 21/22 and didn’t know any better…pass!
and you DO remember my comment about takeshi earlier in your blog, right?
LoL. You *WERE* supposed to just pick famous celebrities for the list, but other writers decided to re-interpret between the lines. And you’re absolutely right– I never once mentioned specifically it had to be famous people. hehehe.
Sigh. Yes, I should have been more specific.
