Is it weird that I find David Bowie sexy in this movie?
Really bummed that the biggest and longest standing thread on this board has disappeared. So, I thought I'd start it again:
Nope, he was DAMN hot! :-P
Yep, very sexy...always had a crush on him..:)
shareI keep hearing about his tight pants and his crotch etc. I guess I'm naïve, but I never noticed it. I guess I was focused on his face and elegant long legs. Could someone please tell me what scene in the movie shows off his um, asset, the most so I can see what people are talking about? Btw, I'm not a kid, I'm a grandma who apparently needs glasses.
shareIt's evident in practically every full-body shot. But you can start with the Magic Dance scene and the scene in the tunnel when Jareth throws off his disguise as a blind beggar.
I'm more drawn to the way he speaks in that low sultry voice of his, though. Yep.
Thanks-I'll check that out soon...and I agree about the voice! Strange that we lost two of the sexiest voices in the movies so close to each other -Bowie and Alan Rickman
shareI posted this somewhere, so just sharing:
"In addition to his absolutely wonderful singing voice, David/Jareth's normal speaking voice has a low sultry timbre that's always modulated and beautifully nuanced. He hardly raises his voice but could convey so much authority, menace or emotion in one smooth, articulate sentence. The moment he says, "Sarah" about 10 minutes into the film, I started having funny feelings. By the time he says, "Let's see how you deal with this little slice," I had to get a glass of water. I was only 11 at that time.... "
I'm usually immune to celebrity farewells, but losing two artists I've admired for most of my life in a span of days makes it a bit hard to breathe...
Anyway, here are some videos. 😎

(added props that I think he's singing live to a baby and a roomful of muppets. Bowie also does the baby gurgles. And yeah, I dig a man who can dance and do baby gurgles.)
