Kevin McKidd

A steel blue-eyed glint, a hint of five o'clock shadow, a chiselled jaw-bone  - Kevin McKidd is our very own Ging Bond. Looking quiet chipper and a long way from the junkie he played in Trainspotting, McKidd is a pioneering nugget, as his pallid features have infiltrated mainstream American TV in the role of a doctor on wishy-washy drama serial Grey's Anatomy (like Scrubs but for menopausal women). In this role he is doing a marvellous job of subverting any lingering flame headed stereotypes by being all alluring and rugged, and not at all prissy and emasculated. He might still need to slap on factor 261 when he walks out of his pad in Hollywood Hills, but he is at least leaving a trail of gaping jaws behind, marvelling at his freckled, pasty visage, and vulnerability to the sunburn index.




Right: Kevin McKidd, staring intensely, with a coy smirk that says 'Look at my porcelin features you lowly tanned serf.'

Andrew McDonald

With his wee curly bob and pacey cricket ball delivery, Andrew McDonald is one of the hottest sporty firecrotches at play today. That he comes from Australia, a country renowned for Iron Man physiques, lantern jaws, and gloriously tanned bastards, is even more remarkable. No doubt ribbed as a child by Jason Donovan lookalikes who giggled and pointed at his Routemaster red dome, McDonald overcame this notable barrier and now hurtles a equally red cherry at pants-staining batsmen all over the globe, having climbed to the pinnacle of Aussie cricket. The Australian cricket cap is called the Baggy Green - well McDonald has earned the right to be known as the Baggy Ging.









Right - Andrew McDonald, astonished at his own gingerness, yesterday.
