Thought it was time to lighten things up in here, so;
So who's the coolest man alive?
Shaun Palmer is up there for me along with Joe calzage. Obamas pretty **** cool for a political type.
Honerable mentions to the fonz and petesgaff.
Can be for any reason or none, some blokes are just cool.

Rob Machado gets my vote as he is just effortlessly cool.
Laird Hamilton chases it a bit but is cool.

Was in a lift with Nicolas Anelka recently. I hate Chelsea almost as much as I hate the French, but the man just oozes cool. B@stard.
Also, Brandon Flowers. Thought he was just another handsome American singer until I saw his speech at some awards bash - very eloquent.

Lance Armstrong

"Sorry Hora, Sir Ranulph is a Walter Mitty." Rubbish, he's awesome!
My vote goes for Peaty though!
Posted 2 years ago # -
He's achieved a lot but unfortunately a Walt.
Was never in the SAS and was wrong to claim as much. Not cool. Sorry.Posted 2 years ago # -
I was under the impression that he passed selection then was thrown out so might not have seen combat with them. He did see active service in the Oman though, which makes him considerably braver than me, and indeed I imagine most other users of this forum.

jack nicholson is still in the running for me. i think Brad Pitt, Bob Mortimer, Jarvis Cocker & Noel Fielding are pretty cool too.
Posted 2 years ago # -
If he was still alive it would have to be Steve McQueen!
Posted 2 years ago # -
If he passed the selection process then in my eyes he was 'in'. Hes also climbed and endured alot more than you and I. OR the real Walter Mittys mentioned above- Actors (who never play themselves).
My idea of cool is different to yours. When I was 8 my idea of cool was Arnold Schwartenegger then I realised hes actually not what I thought he was.
Cool to me are heroes, people who go above and beyond not cute to men/women, with a boyish face and nice haircut like Brad Pitt.
Posted 2 years ago # -
brakeswithface, thrown out during selection. Never badged.
Not sure of the extent of his experience in Oman (or Aden?) but his book "the feather men" was fiction passed off as fact.Posted 2 years ago # -
i think sam hill and fabien barel appear4 cool enough in different ways.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Everyones take on "cool" is different.
Please note, I did not say inspirational or anything else.
Cool can mean anything from an attitude to a crap tat.
Inspirational to me would be Cpl Bryan Budd VC (who Fiennes is not fit to lace the boots of) but that doesn't make him cool (or indeed, alive).Posted 2 years ago # -
John Waters. To paraphrase a tribute to one of his deceased friends, he was a punk when the word meant someone who got raped in prison.
Posted 2 years ago # -
its all about the baddies.
Alan Rickman
David Bowies pretty cool
Christopher Walken is effortlessly evil.But without a shadow of a doubt, the coolest man alive HAS to be:
Gary Oldman
Posted 2 years ago # -
Agree on Steve McQueen - struggling to think of anyone alive that comes as close...
He also came out with this cracker:
"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting."

Hora - you misunderstand 'cool'
Posted 2 years ago # -
Fiennes was never actually bagded he was seconded from Royal Scots Greys and specialized in demolition, he was later kicked out for taking dynamite and planning to blow up a dam with a friend, he served as a mercenary/advisor for the Sultanate of Oman providing information to the counter-insurgency service. Despite being a 3rd Baronet and a cad he did actually hack saw off some frostbiten fingers in his back garden shed and run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 different continents. This would make him stubborn, be able to endure extreme hardship most people would surely have quit, but cool! I don't think so...
