Only one on that list I disagree with is Willem Dafoe. I don't find him preternatural or beautiful.
Me either, really. The one time I found him sort of attractive was in the counterfeiting montage in
To Live and Die in L.A.,
and ... I'm not sure why.
Ok, Mick Jagger: hot or not?
Personally, I sorta' flip-flop on this one....

Depends on the era, the attitude. There are some pictures of young Mick that are lovely.
I think the "preternatural" part of the "beauty" is what puts me off. Too...something. Fey, maybe, in the case of JRM and Adrien Brody.
I'm down with Bowie being attractive currently, though.
To me preternatural has always meant that exactly -- fey, sort of otherworldly. For me, Bowie is that. The others, not so much. Tim Curry, for instance, is so solidly earthy to me, very lush, you know?

Yeah -- Miles Davis and Willem Dafoe, for instance, I wouldn't call fey. But they have a cheekbone thing going on, and spooky eyes. Maybe that's what makes them preternatural.
I don't even think JRM is preternatural. He's femme, but not preternatural. He's just a pretty, pretty man. The rest? Much more outside the norm. Judging from much of the list, the author has a thing for eyes. Quite a few piercing pairs there.
I also would put Willem Dafoe not on a preternatural list, but on a joli laid list. Onscreen, anyway. Saw him in Bed Bath and Beyond once, and he was quite normal looking.
JRM is also not so attractive to me in still photos, but in motion? A lot of his appeal, for me, is when he's animated. He's pretty hot in
The Tudors,
anyway.
I don't think I could ever find Christopher Walken sexy after the scene in
Pulp Fiction.
Which I *love*, don't get me wrong, but ... no.

Are you counting that final running scene in
Bend It Like Beckham?
Um, I guess? I haven't seen that movie for a long time.
