WHO'S HOTTER: (round three) Eric Bana or Russell Crowe?

ERIC BANADINOVICH

Why is he hot?
He has an attractive combo of strength and sensitivity: he looks like he could beat up anyone he crossed, but wouldn't hurt a fly. He's like a big teddy bear. At least that's what I see in him... though I personally prefer The Jackman.

Hotter than:
Hugh Jackman
Viggo Mortensen

Hottest role:
He had a nice little sex scene in Munich and a lot of shirtless grunting in Hulk. But neither of those holds a candle to his ever-exposed torso in Troy. Yum.

RUSSELL IRA CROWE

Why is he hot?
Because he's dangerous. Unlike Bana, he'll chuck a phone at anyone who looks at him wrong. And deep down, who doesn't love a bad boy? His "aggression" got him past Gael. Can it get him past Bana?

Hotter than:
Richard Gere
Gael Garcia Bernal

Hottest role:
Crowe has no shortage of burly tough guys in his filmography. He's played cops, boxers, gladiators, ship captains, even computerized killing machines. But after those have all bled together, the one that stands out (for me) is his sensitive young gay lad looking for love in The Sum of Us. Playing gay earns you bonus points in this tournament. Especially if you're a "man's man" like Russell Crowe.
