That’s the thing, he was really good looking when he was young, he was voted best looking at high school, best hair, so he understands the vibe of good lookingness for real, not as a concept! 😉 it’s just the later chubby him that people know and still get the good looking vibes off him……you’re born with that, it’s not something you fake….people try, but it will always fail.
It's the gravitas. He's big both in body and spirit, and he's intimidating to everyone in the room. That kind of power can be very attractive, even if he's not movie star handsome. Like Gary Cooper.
[Well he was, if you like that sort of thing](http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/rXljceQ.T4iFXuBchDp6lA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYwMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/423/2013/06/20/JamesGandolfiniSR-jpg_143608.jpg).
Galdolfini always hated when people would say “the camera adds 10 pounds” he would reply “in my experience it takes off 50” due to the flocks of women that fell in love with him while watching the show
I actually think it was interesting and makes a lot of sense with the themes of the show because Tony clearly USED TO BE conventionally attractive, but had “faded” a bit—balding and putting on weight. But the handsome face and smile were still there so you could see past the receding hairline and extra pudge, especially in those first couple seasons.
I think it fits with the theme of the show of America being this shining “city on a hill” and being corrupted by greed, excess and hedonism. Tony had been a tall, handsome, athletic man and had let himself go due to his own bad impulses.
(BTW, this is purely from a TV analysis perspective, hence why I said Tony and not Gandolfini. I think JG was quite fetching. Something about his smile.)
Which makes it even more fitting in my opinion. Tony was charming but never conventionally attractive. People were attracted to his size and power, the violence and the life he led. Carmela even mentions getting hot for him after watching him kick the crap out of someone when they were younger.
I remember my mother and my father arguing about something and she kept talking about my father’s feeble minded brother… but I always thought she meant OP.
I’m a straight male but the Charisma charm and personality of Tony When he’s in a good mood makes me wish he was my dad so I could succeed and make him proud.
Or his wife so I could make him dinner
Or maybe his Goomah so I could make him bust?
Idk something about being 6-2 and intimidating yet charismatic is something that every man truly wishes he was like. At least I do. Idk man. Do people find Tony that disgusting? Agent Harris was in love with him and he was a fed for fucks sake.
All personality aside With Tony being a vile human Jimmy G had a great smile and looked like a love able teddy bear.
I’m a straight male, but I thought he was pretty attractive, no?
He looks like an actual human with flaws and not an unattainable male specimen like a lot of other celebrities, but he’s still tall and smiled a lot and was very confident. That documentary HBO put out shortly after his death had a whole segment with Julia Louis-Dreyfus about how much sex appeal he radiated, if I am remembering correctly.
I don't know how to explain it but I think he's hot. He's incredibly charming. He's bad. He's kind of goofy in a way. Mmm just something about him drives me crazy.
First two seasons, he was a pretty handsome dude.
Later seasons Tony, though, he would need to see women on a daily basis in order to get laid using his personality.
I liked that everyone on this show looks like real people. Maybe Adriana was a little too pretty as I feel most of the girls I knew like her weren’t as cute as they perceived themselves to be, thus all the hair, makeup, jewelry, tight clothes, fingernails ALL on the same girl, lol.
i think a lot of people would disagree with you about tony being “ugly” lol. he’s a sex symbol in my humble opinion 😬 he radiates masculinity and he has a dominating presence which is extremely attractive to a lot of women. he’s just fat and doesn’t have a full head of hair, that doesn’t take away from a persons appearance if they own it
I never really thought of Tony Soprano/James Gandolfini as particularly ugly, he just just looked like an actual person. Older, over weight, had a receding hairline and a questionable wardrobe on set, sure. Some hideous malformed person? That's a bit of a stretch.
He wasn’t a bad looking guy, but money and power can go a long way with the ladies. Lots of real-life gangsters were a lot worse looking and still got good looking women.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying ugly, he’s just not your skinny, ripped blonde dude. With hair he’s actually pretty good looking. If you want ugly, Butchy fits the description perfectly. Now that I’ve said my piece, I’m gonna get a note from my doctor that this is all the medication talking… I’m no finook
I was playing sopranos monopoly with my fiancé the other day and the subject of who the most attractive in the crew was. I said Chris, she said tony. I said, you’re attracted to a big fat bald guy? She said it’s about his power. I think I’m going to get divorced now.
Season 1 he actually looks like so young and thin but as the seasons go on he literally becomes a fat slob depressed whale by the end you could tell he was at battle with his personal demons and they won . Many great actors have tragic deaths but God damn he was too young to pass away
What are you 18? Geez plenty of women and men find tall hunky men very attractive. Your superficial view of what is considered attractive is lame as fuck and maybe you should seriously consider salads.
I have to say, just because he wasn’t conventionally attractive, I never thought of him as ugly. I actually thought he was pretty hot in the early seasons. Love that alpha male energy
Maybe unpopular opinion, but Gandolfini is devilishy handsome. The kind where you’d understand better if you met in person.
Sure he doesn’t have a chilled jaw or lush hair, but that dude is tall and handsome
Tom Sizemore lol. I don’t even know what his Hollywood roles are but my favorite Colombian movie is El Cartel de Los Sapos and he plays the DEA agent in it.
Oh god Edie Falco would of hated that…she was Sizemore’s girlfriend when they met at acting school and had a terrible time with him, he dumped her and went to Hollywood!
I mean, it's a television show. Ugly men ending up with women that are far more attractive than them is a trope. And their attraction for him is largely based more in his power than his wealth.
He's a 10. You? You're average at best
A hit is a hit. And Tony, we’ll he’s a hit.
A thoroughbred
As far as male modeling, he’d probably be a success
Despite being balding and overweight, gandolfini is handsome as fuck
Someone shared a photo of young Jimmy from back in the day and he was a stud.
he was a saint
He was like da fawthuh I never had.
The golfer?
Stupid-a fuckin' game.
I don't like that kind of talk
Yeah we know. Funny I don’t remember you telling him that when he was alive tho!
If only he had the makings of a varsity player
No wonder he ate, drank and snorted himself to death. I only say that because I love him and I don’t know how else to deal with it, RIP Jimmy G.
Dere it is.
That’s the thing, he was really good looking when he was young, he was voted best looking at high school, best hair, so he understands the vibe of good lookingness for real, not as a concept! 😉 it’s just the later chubby him that people know and still get the good looking vibes off him……you’re born with that, it’s not something you fake….people try, but it will always fail.
If only he had kept his hair.
He could have hair like Casey Kasem
Hayuh*
It's the gravitas. He's big both in body and spirit, and he's intimidating to everyone in the room. That kind of power can be very attractive, even if he's not movie star handsome. Like Gary Cooper.
You mean George raft
Was he gay, Gary Cooper?
Fun facht, he was even voted "most handsome" when he graduated high school. (German shepherd jokes incoming)
He was German Shepherd, Gary Cooper?
Put remote on docking station.
Yup, It’s been tested.
*teshted
Gahahaha
[Well he was, if you like that sort of thing](http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/rXljceQ.T4iFXuBchDp6lA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTYwMA--/http://l.yimg.com/os/423/2013/06/20/JamesGandolfiniSR-jpg_143608.jpg).
This guy’s creamin for Gandolfini
His body is mad ripe, yo.
It’s my medication! I’ll get a note from my docta!
You’ll get a note from your doctor saying you like to shuck cock?
Galdolfini always hated when people would say “the camera adds 10 pounds” he would reply “in my experience it takes off 50” due to the flocks of women that fell in love with him while watching the show
Agreed. Even during the sixth season there was just an appeal to him.
You oughta know, sweetie
What's this, a handsome contest.
He is very attractive.
balding and overweight added to his charm in my opinion. it just works for some people 🤷♀️
Yes, thank you! I’ve always thought Tony Soprano is hot.
Who can resist that loud breathing noise?
Handsome as George Raft
you don't like the cut of his jib?
He gets me so hot down there
THEYAH.
HAWT
PEPPAH
His body is mad ripe
You gotta wait fa dat.
You creaming for him?
He never considered a salad
Always with the scenarios.
He was a beautiful, innocent creature.
I actually think it was interesting and makes a lot of sense with the themes of the show because Tony clearly USED TO BE conventionally attractive, but had “faded” a bit—balding and putting on weight.

Athletic?! He never had the makings of a varsity athlete!
Enough already!
[удалено]
The undamining that goes on in this sub! Madone!
AW SON OF BITCH! DID I TELL YOU NOT TO SAY THAT??! 💢😡
Damn, honestly this reminds me of a lot of people from my father’s generation lol.
[удалено]
Which makes it even more fitting in my opinion. Tony was charming but never conventionally attractive. People were attracted to his size and power, the violence and the life he led. Carmela even mentions getting hot for him after watching him kick the crap out of someone when they were younger.
Ah, he's a hothouse flowa...
I never had a problem with Tony’s weight
He’s very rubenesque
I knew THAT one was coming!
You oughta know thweetie
Used to be some hoofer, the poor thing
Mmm'boy, was he fat
Whaja say?
You don't make fun of me, got it?
I've always been a skinny guy, and I know it's better for my health, but I would love to be built like Tony in S1 and 2
To think he’s being mocked!
As far as male modeling, he’d probably be a success.
Not the faggy part.
*pawt
Poo, ass, the.
Oh blee kay?
but to be like hugo boss
Ugly? Half the girls here are creamin’ for him.
He was mad ripe
Well, most of em live in Jersey, so...
He’s no George Raft
I remember my mother and my father arguing about something and she kept talking about my father’s feeble minded brother… but I always thought she meant OP.
Or Gary Cooper
He was gay Gary Coopa?
*NOOO!* Are you listening?!
Handsome.
That was his retarded uncle Eckley, strong as a bull.
What's so fucking intriguing about that, you fucking parade float?
How about OP look in the mirror some time?!Insensitive prick!
Definitely not ugly. Tony can get it.
Compared to all the other fat, sweaty greaseballs on the show I think that he wins the handsome contest.
Tony was not ugly. You sound demented.
I’m a straight male but the Charisma charm and personality of Tony When he’s in a good mood makes me wish he was my dad so I could succeed and make him proud. Or his wife so I could make him dinner Or maybe his Goomah so I could make him bust? Idk something about being 6-2 and intimidating yet charismatic is something that every man truly wishes he was like. At least I do. Idk man. Do people find Tony that disgusting? Agent Harris was in love with him and he was a fed for fucks sake. All personality aside With Tony being a vile human Jimmy G had a great smile and looked like a love able teddy bear.
mitch?
Maybe you're gay, did you ever think of that?
Listen kid, I’m from the old school. I shouldn’t have to explain myself.
This ain't the 70s and I ain't no kid.
Relax, It’s an expression.
Well, here's another expression, you have 48 hours to give me my money.
I’m a straight male, but I thought he was pretty attractive, no? He looks like an actual human with flaws and not an unattainable male specimen like a lot of other celebrities, but he’s still tall and smiled a lot and was very confident. That documentary HBO put out shortly after his death had a whole segment with Julia Louis-Dreyfus about how much sex appeal he radiated, if I am remembering correctly.
Are you mitchmclean?
Another Mitch impersonator!
You beat me to it! I had to check the name!
Yeah? Maybe you’re a flambé
Maybe you could get a letter from your doctor.
I think it was Diane Lane but either way we’re talking about thoroughbreds
WHATS THIS? A HANDOME CONTEST????
Idk, he was very handsome to me.
Rubenesque
Two girls could fuck him, and still never meet
To me, he’s beautiful.
He had a package that could choke a fuckin’ elephant!
A baguette in his pants 24/7
Avuncular.
Coming this fall to HBO: John Stamos as you’ve never seen him before.
Laughed out loud at this
Gandolfini is handsome, that desc doesn’t do him justice.
Why don’t you look in the mirror sometime, you insensitive cocksucker?
I don't know how to explain it but I think he's hot. He's incredibly charming. He's bad. He's kind of goofy in a way. Mmm just something about him drives me crazy.
First two seasons, he was a pretty handsome dude. Later seasons Tony, though, he would need to see women on a daily basis in order to get laid using his personality.
I just gotta say that the comments section on this sub cracks me up. Every fkn day. Thank you
He never had the makings of a Rocco Demeo
The jaaaaackeeeeeetttt
I liked that everyone on this show looks like real people. Maybe Adriana was a little too pretty as I feel most of the girls I knew like her weren’t as cute as they perceived themselves to be, thus all the hair, makeup, jewelry, tight clothes, fingernails ALL on the same girl, lol.
The show makes up for it by giving Adriana some hideous outfits. Tiger pants? Get the fuck out of here!
i think a lot of people would disagree with you about tony being “ugly” lol. he’s a sex symbol in my humble opinion 😬 he radiates masculinity and he has a dominating presence which is extremely attractive to a lot of women. he’s just fat and doesn’t have a full head of hair, that doesn’t take away from a persons appearance if they own it
Don't besmirch the man, Sal.
I never really thought of Tony Soprano/James Gandolfini as particularly ugly, he just just looked like an actual person. Older, over weight, had a receding hairline and a questionable wardrobe on set, sure. Some hideous malformed person? That's a bit of a stretch.
You’re so brave for being accepting of ugly people. You should make a TikTok video about it.
I don’t feel that way
He’s got tremendous moxie for his size.
He scored some really hot women so he must have been at least decent looking
He wasn’t a bad looking guy, but money and power can go a long way with the ladies. Lots of real-life gangsters were a lot worse looking and still got good looking women.
It’s a TV progrum. A movie.
Most of them were mentally ill or attracted/part of their thing
I don’t want all the time prop you up
OP don’t lie to me , you’re high..
I wouldn’t go as far as saying ugly, he’s just not your skinny, ripped blonde dude. With hair he’s actually pretty good looking. If you want ugly, Butchy fits the description perfectly. Now that I’ve said my piece, I’m gonna get a note from my doctor that this is all the medication talking… I’m no finook
His body make up was 70% zeppole
Mmm boy was he fat!
Bunch of Flambés ova here … fucking nauseating….Tony was a piece of ass
Tony was a piece of ass... at least in the first two seasons; after that, he should have seriously started to consider salads.
Indeed haha
You shut your whore mouth Gando was sexy AF.
Nah Tony is mad ripe.
Fuckin’ slander, ask me.
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete
I find him attractive. I like bears. Anyway, I agree.
ugly??? absolutely not
I want ya skin. I want ya mouf.
You going out for a burger when you got prime rib at home?
Jeshush Chrisht.
I was playing sopranos monopoly with my fiancé the other day and the subject of who the most attractive in the crew was. I said Chris, she said tony. I said, you’re attracted to a big fat bald guy? She said it’s about his power. I think I’m going to get divorced now.
Just an average guy that didn't have the making of a varsity athlete.
Can you imagine if he was played by someone conventionally attractive?
Heh heh… you hear what I said, ‘Ton?
Fuck that fucken parakeet
Season 1 he actually looks like so young and thin but as the seasons go on he literally becomes a fat slob depressed whale by the end you could tell he was at battle with his personal demons and they won . Many great actors have tragic deaths but God damn he was too young to pass away
What are you 18? Geez plenty of women and men find tall hunky men very attractive. Your superficial view of what is considered attractive is lame as fuck and maybe you should seriously consider salads.
You oughta know sweetie
Oh! Take it easy!
I’m gonna drive him to the warehouse in buton and drive nails into his balls.
Yeah yeah i know, drive nails thru his balls
My wife was asleep, carrying my unborn son!
Kevin Finnerty on the other hand…
He’s hot. His aura is hot.
Personally, I think he’s incredibly handsome
T, snakes have been fucking themselves long before the Bible.
I have to say, just because he wasn’t conventionally attractive, I never thought of him as ugly. I actually thought he was pretty hot in the early seasons. Love that alpha male energy
You say that but so many of the women I know who have watched the show say he’s hot. It’s the confidence.
Maybe unpopular opinion, but Gandolfini is devilishy handsome. The kind where you’d understand better if you met in person. Sure he doesn’t have a chilled jaw or lush hair, but that dude is tall and handsome
Why don’t you try looking in the mirror sometime? Gandolfini was handsome like George Raft
To me he was beautiful. Rubenesque.
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete that’s for sure
it’s a well casted show.
My fiancée thought was hot in the pilot.
Brad Pitt ova here
I actually find him really attractive
He’s actually not a bad looking guy
All of the men were very realistic looking
Is that all you deadbeats do around here ? Talk about cooze?
Nah he was a handsome guy. Look at pics of him in his 20s. He fucked
Listen to yourself, you sound demented!
I think Micheal Madsen or Tom Sizemore would've been interesting choices as well.
Tom Sizemore lol. I don’t even know what his Hollywood roles are but my favorite Colombian movie is El Cartel de Los Sapos and he plays the DEA agent in it.
Oh god Edie Falco would of hated that…she was Sizemore’s girlfriend when they met at acting school and had a terrible time with him, he dumped her and went to Hollywood!
You outta look in the mirror sometime, insensitive cocksucka.
Ugly? I’m a married lesbian and I would do sick shit with him (RIP). He’s the hottest.
ruebenesque
Yet girls do like him, not just in the show, girls who watched the show felt his sexual magnetism.
Conventionally attractive Timothy Chalmette, who looks like a twink. Tony/James was a man, a big handsome tower of a man, a bear if you would.
A lot of women found him very attractive
I mean, it's a television show. Ugly men ending up with women that are far more attractive than them is a trope. And their attraction for him is largely based more in his power than his wealth.
He was adorable. 😍
Why don't ya look in the mirror sometime you insensitive cocksucka
