The Ten Hottest Gingers

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Seriously Random Lists | Comments (143)



redheadginger.jpg

In comprising the list of ten hottest gingers, I had to take into account more than just the red hair. Simple attraction (or lustiness) had to be weighed along with the person’s gingerness. The paleness of their skin, the number of freckles, and the brightness of the hair were balanced alongside the individual’s pure aesthetic attraction. It’s a very complicated formula, but for a Seriously Random List as hard-hitting, important, and crucial as this one, I actually developed a complex algorithm that I ran through WOPR in order to determine the rankings. (Serious bonus credit for anyone not named TK who gets that reference).

I appreciate that some may disagree with the people on this list, and the rankings, but you have to understand that, in the end, this is science. You can’t argue with science, folks.

10. Bryce Dallas Howard

9. Isla Fisher

Is this list backwards? That's the only explanation I can see that is even kind of reasonable.

Posted by: Snath at April 28, 2010 3:03 PM

Except for Felicia Day, of course.

Posted by: Snath at April 28, 2010 3:03 PM

No David Caruso?

This..list..*puts on sunglasses and looks off to the distance* suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at April 28, 2010 3:08 PM

Obviously you left off the hottest one of all (Gillian Anderon). For shame Rowles! Boo.

Posted by: Scully at April 28, 2010 3:08 PM

Is... Emma Stone naturally a ginger? For some reason I always thought she was a brunette. And I always thought that Michael C. Hall was dirty blonde...

Posted by: PaleoLithchick at April 28, 2010 3:08 PM

You are the gayest straight man on the internet...and I love you for it.

PS: WOPR is from War Games.

Posted by: Justin at April 28, 2010 3:09 PM

I'm of the ginger my own damn self. Well ok. More of the strawberry
{blonde} milkshake variety. Ya aint gonna find it in a bottle though,
no matter what fancy hairstylist you throw your money at. It's my
favorite feature. Hee hee.
Anyways. I'm unsure of just who exactly 4, maybe 5 of these peopele
are in fame-town.

Posted by: Ms MoMo at April 28, 2010 3:10 PM

No Julianne Moore? Or Rose McGowan? *tear*

At least you got Christina Hendricks and Isla Fisher, I guess.

Posted by: Adam at April 28, 2010 3:11 PM

A Damien Lewis sighting. Ready the lady bunks.


(Serious bonus credit for anyone not named TK who gets that reference)

I also prefer playing Global Thermonuclear War over a nice game of chess.

Posted by: branded at April 28, 2010 3:12 PM

No love for Tina Louise? oh, hottest contemporary gingers...

Posted by: laredo at April 28, 2010 3:12 PM

Hall isn't a ginger and I consider Isla more of a brunette.

Also, the only reason I know the WOPR reference is because War Games factors heavily in a book I'm currently reading.

Posted by: admin at April 28, 2010 3:12 PM

I concur, Snath. Bryce Dallas Howard is as hot as the sun.

Posted by: Brigs at April 28, 2010 3:12 PM

Wargames!

As a ginger, I fully endorse this list.

Posted by: chamalla at April 28, 2010 3:13 PM

Undercover Brother?

Posted by: DaddyMac at April 28, 2010 3:15 PM

Emma Stone and M.C. Hall both look brunette from here. And why am I supposed to care about this Hirst person? I concur on most of the rest of the ladies, though. And Seth Green? Are you joking?

Posted by: Anne (in Reno) at April 28, 2010 3:15 PM

Yeah, it may be science, but some of your assumptions are faulty, specifically: some of these people are not actually gingers.

And really, no love for Julianne Moore? She was showing us the way of the ginger when some of these l'il tots were in diapers, and she's still beautiful.

Posted by: MM at April 28, 2010 3:16 PM

Bonnie Wright
Alyson Hannigan
Amy Adams

Posted by: DeistBrawler at April 28, 2010 3:16 PM

Did you really think this crowd would have trouble with the WOPR reference? Ye of little faith!

Posted by: Sean at April 28, 2010 3:17 PM

I think Hall fails hard under the gingerness criteria. And Seth Green hasn't been attractive since Buffy.

Posted by: ERM at April 28, 2010 3:17 PM

Oh, Damien Lewis. Be still my beating heart.

Posted by: Zuzu at April 28, 2010 3:18 PM

I'm simply puzzled that Christina Hendricks is not number one. Christina Hendricks should be number one, always.

Posted by: Bailey at April 28, 2010 3:20 PM

HEY! No Louis Griffin?


Seriously Rowles, your anti-McFarlane agenda is both shallow and pedantic.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at April 28, 2010 3:20 PM

Oh, come now: You gotta cut the WOPR a little slack. He was programmed to include at least four men to appeal to the female demographic, and those were the best he could come up with. He scanned a photo of Michael C. Hall donning a red beard and short circuited a little.

It's science!

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at April 28, 2010 3:22 PM

While I admire the sentiment, geek-hot

Posted by: Samantha at April 28, 2010 3:22 PM

Drat. Geek-hot is not greater than bombshell-hot. Hendricks FTW.

Posted by: Samantha at April 28, 2010 3:23 PM

So you are snubbing Louis Griffin too?

Seriously Rowles, your anti-McFarlane agenda is both shallow and pedantic.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at April 28, 2010 3:23 PM

WHOAH! I did NOT mean to post that twice I swear the first post did not show up.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at April 28, 2010 3:24 PM

The fuck is the poor man's Amy Adams doing on here???

Jesus CHRIST!!!

Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2010 3:24 PM

Laura Prepon

Posted by: reanalyst at April 28, 2010 3:25 PM

AMY ADAMS

Posted by: TSF at April 28, 2010 3:25 PM

The WOPR needs some tweaking. There is some right here, but too much wrong.

Posted by: Forbiddendonut at April 28, 2010 3:26 PM

So, if you were reeeeealllly struggling to come up with some dudes, you didn't say they had to be actors:

In the immortal words of MK, Prince Hot Ginge! (y'know, of England. The younger one.)

Posted by: MM at April 28, 2010 3:27 PM

"And I always thought that Michael C. Hall was dirty blonde..."

Posted by: PaleoLithchick at April 28, 2010 3:08 PM

I don't know about the blond part, but in my head he's certainly dirty. So very, very dirty. Yes. Dirty Mr. Hall.

Um.

Excuse me.

Posted by: Irene at April 28, 2010 3:27 PM

I second the Laura Prepon sentiment, and also want to add Eric Stoltz.

Also, Christina Hendricks mentioned in an interview that she's been dying her hair red since she was a young teen; it's not her natural hair color.

Posted by: abbytron at April 28, 2010 3:28 PM

No Jodie Foster?

Posted by: cleverpeach at April 28, 2010 3:29 PM

Female demographic? Man, at least three-fourths of the women around here get lady-boners from a vast array of chicks. Don't muck up pure science by screwing with the inputs. Seth Green doesn't shower and that Grint . . . thing you included nearly ruins the entire list. That you didn't include Alyson Hannigan and Laura Prepon already makes your outcomes suspect, and I won't even get into the exclusion of Julianne Moore, one of the very few actresses for whom we have definitive proof that the carpet matches the drapes.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at April 28, 2010 3:32 PM

Kevin McKidd, for the ladies/manlovinmen. Couldn't find anyone better than Seth Green and Rupert Grint? My groinbeard is gingerish... Does that count?

Posted by: logar at April 28, 2010 3:32 PM

no Agent Scully? For shame!! And I 2nd and 3rd and whatever the lack of Julianne Moore on this list.

Posted by: banana at April 28, 2010 3:34 PM

Posted by: actwithoutdoing at April 28, 2010 3:34 PM

That picture of Rupert Grint makes me cum every time I see it.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at April 28, 2010 3:34 PM

Conan O'Brien?

Posted by: mswas at April 28, 2010 3:35 PM

I second Kevin McKidd. I know no one watches Grey's Anatomy anymore, which is a shame, because mmmmm.

Also, no love for Amy Adams? Are you just mad about "Leap Year" and that shopping movie I can't remember the name of?

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at April 28, 2010 3:36 PM

that shopping movie I can't remember the name of?

No that was the Fisher thing in that movie.

Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2010 3:38 PM

SETH GREEEEEN! I lurve him.
Never though of Michael C. Hall as a ginger...but I'll accept that. Makes him sexier actually...

And that picture of Ruper Grint! Never saw that sexiness coming.
Bunk!

Posted by: gee. ay. at April 28, 2010 3:38 PM

I call shenanigans on this list, overall. And I know I am far and away the minority on the previous sentiment, re Rupert.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at April 28, 2010 3:39 PM

Not to shatter y'all's dreams, but Gillian Anderson ain't a real redhead either.

Posted by: Skewicide Blonde at April 28, 2010 3:40 PM

Commence the gratuitous fapping.

Posted by: the_wakeful at April 28, 2010 3:42 PM

@Skewecide blonde: I know, but she still rocks it. She's pre-raphaelite perfection.

Posted by: banana at April 28, 2010 3:43 PM

"Fap" isn't much better than "flick", is it?. It's just kinda queasy rather than painful.

Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2010 3:44 PM

Seth Green was ranked higher than Christina Hendricks?! I'm shocked, and in my Mad Men mode of the week, I will not accept this.
And no Lauren Ambrose? Sheesh, or Jenny Lewis for that matter. Them redheads are drop dead gorgeous, as pretty as a gay man can describe them.

Posted by: Kamikaze Feminist at April 28, 2010 3:46 PM

All this ginger persecution humor cropping up is freaking me out, I have a ginger baby!

Posted by: peachfish at April 28, 2010 3:47 PM

Where in the hot buttered HELL is Conan O'Brien?! Gaaahhhhhh!!!

Posted by: greer at April 28, 2010 3:51 PM

Posted by: the chaplain at April 28, 2010 3:52 PM

Oh, thank you for including Damian Lewis in this list. That man is walking sexy, and he's also a damned fine actor who got shafted badly by NBC. Yeah, I'm still bitter about "Life."

In conclusion, I will be in my bunk. G'night, everybody.

Posted by: Aislinn at April 28, 2010 3:52 PM

Oh Damien Lewis, how I love your red-haired goodness.

Posted by: Julie at April 28, 2010 3:53 PM

DR trying to write a list with sexual implications is like watching Rachel Ray cook while having an epileptic seizure.

Oh it'll get done, but it's gonna be one hell of an infuriating, messy ride.

Posted by: D-Day at April 28, 2010 3:56 PM

Guys, guys guys. You can't argue with Dustin's choices for this list for one simple reason: it's SCIENCE.

Posted by: the_wakeful at April 28, 2010 3:59 PM

So nobody else harbors a slightly inappropriate crush on Ginny Weasley?

(silence)

(crickets)

You guys are bitches.

Other than that, top marks on the list.

Posted by: DoctorControversy at April 28, 2010 3:59 PM

Where is Amy Adams? WHERE IS SHE!

Posted by: person at April 28, 2010 3:59 PM

Pffft. This list is bullshit. I'm not even on it!

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at April 28, 2010 3:59 PM

Damien Lewis- he's got a purty mouth. The things I would do to him are illegal in nearly every country. Nearly.

Posted by: Lurkey Turkey at April 28, 2010 4:00 PM

Right there with you, mswas. When I clicked on the link I just assumed this was a not-so-subtle leadup to a big, grinning Co-Co at number one.

Expectations, thwarted.

Posted by: Yossarian at April 28, 2010 4:01 PM

For some reason you all said Laura Prepon and I mixed her up with Patti LuPone, Mom of Corky. Patti LuPone is not pretty, nor a ginger. But she did work with one special kid.

Posted by: badalamenti at April 28, 2010 4:02 PM

I have a folder on my computer called WOPR and have maintained that folder for over ten years. It contains the games. Chess is there, but, alas, there is no global thermonuclear war.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at April 28, 2010 4:03 PM

Ron Howard, hatin' ass haters.

Posted by: TSF at April 28, 2010 4:03 PM

It's OK, Doctor, I'm with you on inappropriate Weasley crushes. Although, I would say Ginny Weasley over Bonnie Wright, easily.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at April 28, 2010 4:04 PM

You forgot Gillian Anderson, Amy Adams, and Alison Hannigan. As many have said. Also forgot: my wife.

Posted by: TylerDFC at April 28, 2010 4:05 PM

I'll let the rest of y'all debate. I'm just happy to see Karen Gillan.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at April 28, 2010 4:05 PM

Mmmmm, isn't Tilda Swinton a ginger too?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at April 28, 2010 4:06 PM

Oh Lawd, this list needs some additions!

*Julianne Moore

*I don't care how old she is now, but SUSAN SARANDON


*EWAN FREAKIN' MCGREGOR (no offense to Seth, he's adorable, but seriously? Where is Ewan on this list? He's one of the hottest ginger men EVER.)

http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2009/09/EWAN-MCGREGOR-GEORGE-CLOONEY-MEN-WHO-STARE-AT-GOATS.jpg

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q290/pitbull_58/mcgregor.jpg

Guh! I'll take the other omissions in stride, but Ewan NEEDS to be added. To have Seth Green on this list and not him is criminal!

*I would also like to add strike/tour beard Conan O'Brien. The other day I saw him, full beard, and was struck by how hot he is. It weirded me out a bit, but not enough for me not to enjoy it.;)

Posted by: luthien26 at April 28, 2010 4:07 PM

I hate to be mean, but Rupert Grint? REally?! And Seth is funny and smart and I do love his work but sexy? I just don't see it.

What about Eric Stoltz?

I loved War Games as a kid. Thought is was the best movie evar and drove my parents nuts watching it on HBO repeatedly.Never knew what Ally Sheedy's character meant when she said Dr. Stephen Falken was 'amazing looking'.

Posted by: Viking at April 28, 2010 4:09 PM

LINDSAY LOHAN WILL TWEET OF THIS!!!

Posted by: Melodie at April 28, 2010 4:09 PM

So nobody else harbors a slightly inappropriate crush on Ginny Weasley?

I do. But it didn't start until the day Bonnie Wright turned eighteen, and anyone who says otherwise is a LIAR and I will sue them.

Oh, and this list is obviously insane. Christina Henricks at #7? Is that supposed to be a joke?!

Posted by: Todd at April 28, 2010 4:09 PM

how can you include a War Games reference and leave out Jenny Lewis?

Posted by: Jackseppelin at April 28, 2010 4:10 PM

Don't know how accurate this is but IMDB says Christina Hendricks is a blonde - she dyes it red. Just saying...I don't think she should count.

Posted by: greenblue at April 28, 2010 4:14 PM

Where's Alan Tudyk?! Not gingery enough?

And stop with the "not a real red-head" stuff, okay? You don't need to be born with it, you just need to OWN it.

And I can't believe I just said that because I sound like one of the drag queens from "Rupaul's Drag Race 2", but I think you all know what I mean.

Posted by: greer at April 28, 2010 4:23 PM

So is WOPR War Operation Plan Reponse or did you mean to type WORP, which is baseball stands for "Wins Over Replacement Player." It's basically a way to value players by calculating how many wins they bring your team over a league average for the same position.

Example: Albert Pujols' WORP is like 100 billion or something stupid high like that.

Anyway, the idea of creating called DEORA (Dollar Earned Over Replacement Actor) would be an interesting concept. It could possibly give movie studios a way to evaluate actors and either worth to a movie. Maybe I should come up with that formula and present it to Harvey Weinstein.

Posted by: Dangerous Dave at April 28, 2010 4:27 PM

Ah, the things I would do to Isla Fisher. (Cum quick, cry.)

If you aren't freckly, pale, naturally carrot orange hair, you aren't Ginger. This is truth. There are a number of half breeds, or daywalkers, if you will, up there, that have no business being fetishized by me.

Final note: If you have a ginger girl, treasure and love her like the beautiful, elfin flower she is. If you have a ginger boy, drown that hobgoblin.

Forgive me, CoCo.

Posted by: Johnny Von Awesome at April 28, 2010 4:28 PM

I'm sorry, but Felicia Day is cute. Sort of. Not hot. There's a HUGE difference. Christina Hendricks? HOT. Michael C. Hall (is he ginger?)? Hot. Felicia Day? If I was single I wouldn't say no, but I'm not getting too excited about it. Same with Seth Green.

I will never forget that this is the day you said Christina Hendricks is less hot than Seth Green. NEVER FORGET!

Posted by: ChristianH at April 28, 2010 4:29 PM

I have always thought that Alan Tudyk was pretty cute. He has that ginger/strawberry blonde thing going.

True story - when I was in high school one of my friends actually met Seth Green. I guess he hit on her pretty hard until he found out she was in the illegal under-aged category at the time. I remember being so mad at her the next day for not lying about her age.

Posted by: jpeachy at April 28, 2010 4:31 PM

@Melodie

The only time I wanna hear the words "hot", "ginger", and "Lohan" is if someone is throwing her in a boiling vat of said ingredients. I've now moved on to using her name in reference to roadkill.

"Yeah dude, someone hit a big deer and left all kinds of Lindsay Lohan on the side of the road."

"It was late at night and I guess I didn't notice I ran over some Lindsay Lohan. Now that shit's all over my tires..."

"That Lindsay Lohan is so foul not even the crows are picking at it..."

It's fun, whatever!

Posted by: D-Day at April 28, 2010 4:33 PM

luthien26, I completely forgot alot of people consider him a redhead! If Michael C. Hall is a hot ginger, Ewan McGregor is too!

Posted by: ChristianH at April 28, 2010 4:36 PM

Ah, Dustin. It must be a simple typo, but, yes, I understand your reference. You meant to spell WOPAT, referring, of course, to Tom Wopat, of Dukes of Hazzard and country music fame. He remains the world's foremost authority on gingers. But I deduce a deeper meaning to your decision to drop the Wopat name.

Certainly the meaning behind the meaning is that Dukes was on CBS, the same channel (THE SAME!!!) as Gilligan's Island. And yes, Tina Louise as Ginger. Though I am a Mary Ann man myself, I agree; she is #0 on your list - the Uber-Ginger, making all other gingers lowercase.
I rest my case and wish you a good day, sir.

Posted by: W.E.Coyote at April 28, 2010 4:37 PM

@the_wakeful:

You can't argue with Dustin's choices for this list for one simple reason: it's SCIENCE.

As I pointed out above, the results of scientific inquiry are only as good as the underlying assumptions used, and, well, Dustin's method is flawed. Therefore I will argue with his conclusions.

Posted by: MM at April 28, 2010 4:37 PM

Damian Lewis - Yes!
Seth Green - No
Sub in Lucius Voreus for Green.
Top place is a a three way tie (heh heh, three way, heh heh) between Gillian Anderson, CoCo and Julianne Moore.

Posted by: Irene at April 28, 2010 4:45 PM

*emerges from beneath her desk/bunk*

I'm sorry, I just can't help myself when I see Seth Green. And all of the Seth Green hate means there's just more for me to love of the wee man!

But I would've liked to see Alan Tyduck on here somewhere too.

And now I'm imagining a Seth Green, Quorren, Alan Tyduck sandwich and it is GLORIOUS! There are angels singing and everything.

Posted by: Quorren at April 28, 2010 4:46 PM

*Tudyk

Let pretend I didn't switch the "y" and the "u" and add in a "c" for funsies.

Posted by: Quorren at April 28, 2010 4:47 PM

Johny Von Awesome: That was funny. Thank you.

Posted by: logar at April 28, 2010 4:56 PM

Patti LuPone is not pretty

Hey now, have you seen any pictures from that recent "Sweeney Todd" production? I was pretty impressed.

Also Felicia Day just makes me think of all you fuckers who will never ever shut up about that thing I'm never gonna motherfucking watch.

I forgot Alicia Witt, good spotting there. I'll understand if this (obviously bullshit) list is trying to stay contemporary, and the bloom may be off the rose just a little bit, but let me at least give an Oscar montage to Molly Ringwald here.

Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2010 5:02 PM

I'm gonna marry Felicia Day. So all of you back off.
I mean it.

Posted by: A-schaef at April 28, 2010 5:06 PM

Damien Lewis' photo is a perfect example of why you should never get Botox. Love the crows feet and forhead wrinkles and mouth parentheses.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 28, 2010 5:11 PM


Seth Green looks like a fucking troll and YOU ARE SO WRONG.

Change him for Eric Stoltz and I may forgive you. You goddamn monster.

Plus Conan O'Brien, dude. Sheesh.

Laura Prepon lost at life when she went blonde. I'll never forgive her.

Posted by: figgy at April 28, 2010 6:01 PM

Paul Bettany anyone?

Posted by: feebthefurbieassasin at April 28, 2010 6:03 PM

Since when is Michael C. Hall a redhead? He doesn't even look red haired in that picture.

As for the dudes, um... Kevin McKidd and Alan Tudyk? How the fuck could you forget either of those? Damn.

And I agree that real red hair (not dyed) is what should count. Otherwise, a list of hot black actors would have to include Robert Downey Jr.

Posted by: Slash at April 28, 2010 6:37 PM

You absitively posilutely must have forgotten Alyson Hannigan. I'm a girl. I'm straight. I'd fuck her anywhere, anytime, anyway. She's like my 96th percentile for hotness. If you deliberately omitted her we can no longer be friends.

That said, this is otherwise an awesome list. I would totally have a massive ginger orgy with these people.

Posted by: esme at April 28, 2010 6:44 PM

What about Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica from True Blood)? She's gorgeous.

Posted by: Another Jen at April 28, 2010 7:04 PM

Well, I've watched all of Dexter, and Michael C Hall sure looks ginger to me, even if he doesn't so much in the above photo. At the very least, he's red-auburn. Plus, freckles. Rowr.

Glad to see Seth Green on the list. I have no idea why his shrimpy little ginger self is so hot - but he just is.

One of my favourite gingers is Toby Stephens. I rate him above Damien Lewis on the Red Hot Brit scale, and waaaay above Rupert Grint. Did anyone see Stephens as Prince John on the BBC's recent Robin Hood? Totally OTT and panto-stylee, yet, still hot. Yum.

Posted by: Tarn at April 28, 2010 7:10 PM

I'm just going to go ahead and say it... No discussion of hot gingers can be complete without mention of Pajibas own... Rusty. {{looks sheepishly down at my feet while kicking a pebble}}

Posted by: logar at April 28, 2010 7:18 PM

I love that Damian Lewis and Rupert Grint on this list, and that others are with me on the Kevin McKidd/Alan Tudyk trains (.....). I've always had a thing for Jason Flemying, too.

Posted by: ALR at April 28, 2010 7:25 PM

I suppose you can be forgiven for omitting the Busted Tees model, but she's the real Ginger Next Door. No, not the one that wants to kill you -- you have to look in the other window. There, there she is. The corruptible one, with the rack.

Posted by: sansho1 at April 28, 2010 7:27 PM

What about Shirley Manson? Kidman was a ginger too.

Posted by: Daywalker at April 28, 2010 7:28 PM

This is bullshit, I spend all my time making topless facebook profiles pics of my self and Grint still beats me. For fucks sake the kid makes gingers look like comedy relief not secondary characters in their own sitcom.

Posted by: jim of the lower case at April 28, 2010 7:30 PM

Enjoyed the video posted above, quite cute. At some point I'm going to tell my pregnant, auburn-haired friend, who is married to my flaming-red-headed friend, the joke about drowning the hobgoblin baby if it is a boy. But first I'm going to let her get through the depressed/freaked out portion of her pregnancy. I don't think her usual black sense of humor is in full operating mode at the moment.

Posted by: Viking at April 28, 2010 7:31 PM

Seth Green? Dudes... no.

I also think Amy Adams is better looking than Felicia Day.

I was getting all ready to say, indignantly, what about Damien Lewis?! But he's here, and I should never have doubted you. Although I do doubt the science that could have placed Christina Hendricks not only at #7, but behind Seth Green.

random yes. seriously not.

Posted by: lionel bitchie at April 28, 2010 8:21 PM

Ah, Damien Lewis.

Later. Bunk.

Posted by: Cindy at April 28, 2010 8:26 PM

I was actually kind of afraid that no dudes would make this list. I liked the picks that got here (Seth Green will always be Oz to me), though I do think Hall's a brunette as well.
Anyhow, SHIRLEY MANSON. I'm not even INTO chicks and I'd bang her.

Posted by: Kevin at April 28, 2010 8:35 PM

I'm all for Hendricks and whatnot, she's amazing. But she's not a ginger.

Posted by: chenry at April 28, 2010 10:10 PM

Isn't being a ginger different from being a red-head??? As far as I can tell, Rupert Grint and Damien Lewis are gingers but the rest are red-heads. I thought being ginger meant you'd have to have orange hair... someone mentioned Tilda Swinton and I think she's a ginger. But redheads and gingers are different.

Posted by: dene at April 28, 2010 10:34 PM

You're a sweetie, logar, but I can't really compete with people who are hot professionally. I'm still only amateur level cute with a good working knowledge of my angles.

For red-headed men: Alexi Lalas who I STILL believe should be Captain America. That jawline just screams "justice"!

Posted by: Intern Rusty at April 28, 2010 11:28 PM

I never thought the day would come that I'd want to bang Rupert Grint. But here it is. What is it about that picture that gets me? I think it's that intense look. My husband does that look so well. I wish he would get home already.

No Alicia Witt?

Posted by: Confucius Jackson at April 28, 2010 11:56 PM

I swear you make these lists awful on purpose.

Stop trying to make fetch happen, Dustin!

The list should read:
Julianne Moore
Gillian Anderson
Ewan McGregor
Kate Winslet
Eric Stoltz
Conan O'Brien
Susan Sarandon
Christina Hendricks
Gina Davis
Julia Roberts
Paul Bettany
Molly Ringwald
Shirley Manson
Prince Harry
Nicole Kidman

Honorable mention: American Graffiti Ron Howard.

Those are THE hottest redheads of the last 30 years. Pick any ten and your list would have been fine, but alas. :(

I don't know who this Simon Woods fellow is, but damn that guy is one of the best redheads I've ever seen:

Posted by: Well but at April 29, 2010 12:57 AM

I can't be attracted to Seth Green at all. Mostly, this is because of the time I was watching Buffy with my dad, and Oz walks on screen, and my dad says, "I was his camp counselor way back in the day. I don't know about now, but he was a bed-wetter when he was about twelve."

And now that's all I can think of when people talk about Seth Green: bed-wetting. Thanks, Dad.

Posted by: Bailey at April 29, 2010 3:14 AM

Yeah is the list backwards?
Hendricks is hotter than Day.
By....like, alot.

Also, where is Alicia Witt?

And a few of these I dont even consider ginger.

Michael C Hall I wouldn't call ginger even if the whole family on Six Feet Under took after their strawberry rooted mother.


And actually...yeah...none of these people are Ginger, not by the classic definition.

Well, maybe Damien Lewis.
To me a Ginger is pasty pale, almost pinkish, with freckles and ORANGE hair. Carrot tops, literally.

Redheads have red or orangISH hair and very pale skin. Maybe some freckles but not the total covering of Gingers.

These guys are red heads. This list is erroneous.
ERRONEOUS I SAY.

Some days I worry that I have some ginger traces.
As a kid I very briefly had reddish hair, and even though my hair is brown now, it's a reddish brown.

I tan like a ginger, which is to say I burn, then freckle, and I am a freckly, freckly motherfucker as most of my FB Pajibans already know.


Posted by: Nadine at April 29, 2010 4:24 AM

Yeah I think a definition needs to be drawn here.

There are Gingers (Damian Lewis)
Red Heads(basically everyone else on the list)
And Strawberry blondes, which is blonde with just a hint of red. Someone above mentioned Paul Bettany; he is Strawberry blonde, but he DOES have ginger-esque skin.

I think to do this list right you need to define these things better.

Also a few people on this list are TOTAL dye jobs, or are gingers who have touched up their hair to turn carroty locks to luscious ruby ones.

Isla Fisher is just barely a redhead in that picture with all the brunette flavour she's added, C Hall is straight brunette. A lighter, rouguey brunette but ultimately brunette. I'd almost call him dirty blonde, actually.

Bryce is more of a red head but she gets a pass cos holySHIT is her dad a ginger.

Thats just my thought on it any way.
There are variations of 'red' hair like there are of brown and blonde.

I dont know why I'm so worked up about this.
Maybe it's the three coffees i've had in one hour. Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffee

Posted by: Nadine at April 29, 2010 4:33 AM

wow, that's a lot of comments. who would have thought there were so many invested factions willing to hit the mat on what exactly constitutes a ginger let alone a hot ginger.

must have either been a quiet night on tv, or we gingers are really witches. gingerism may simply be a mark of the devil.

Posted by: idleprimate at April 29, 2010 4:42 AM

Good call, feebes. Paul Bettany is quite the hotty in my book.

Posted by: Viking at April 29, 2010 7:20 AM

To 10 hotties.
Only 4 of them are guys.
Only 2 of those 4 can even remotely be considered hot.
You're losing brownie points rapidly. Though you gained some by not including a Lohan on the list.

Posted by: cinekat at April 29, 2010 9:13 AM

I call bullshit on the ranking for Christina Hendricks. That's just bullshit. That's a miss by 6 spaces at least.

I would, however, settle for a 4-round baby oil wrestling match between Christina and Felicia to settle it. Because [A] that's hot, and [2], bitch will ruin that skinny little waif.

I'm not knocking Felicia Day -- I'm saying she's a hot girl and Christina is all woman and more woman than most men can handle.

You lost credibility with this one, Rowles.

Bullshit.

See above: fuckable Grint pic.

I had no idea Michael C. Hall was a red-head.

Posted by: bubblegumshoe at April 29, 2010 10:17 AM

Yes to adding Kevin McKidd, and what about Amanda Righetti from The Mentalist?

Posted by: miri at April 29, 2010 10:33 AM

I dunno, like water I just don't think oil mixes with sex. I mean...it's all oily! You're effectively saying "well...guess my mouth's not going anywhere now!" Who wants that kind of limitation? "Wow, I can imagine....uh....rubbing you...I guess...and then not being able to touch anything else in the room...fantastic!" And remember "Match Point"? Jesus, you've ruined the sheets!

But then, I don't get the whole softcore fighting thing. It's so angry! People are moving too fast, grimacing, you're not really getting a good, flattering look at anything...if this isn't gonna be sex then please take your discord elsewhere, it's not relaxing me.

Posted by: Jay at April 29, 2010 10:42 AM

Three words: Clancy Motherfucking Brown. For maximum sexification you must also lose Rupert Grint and add Alan Tudyk and Kevin McKidd, but the lack of Clancy is what's really hurting this list.

Posted by: LowSlash at April 29, 2010 4:12 PM

Crazy how flippin fired up {hee hee} you people got about this Ginger
topic! So many comments. Erm, that said ...

@Nadine: small quibbles with your note re 'Strawberry Blonde'. Tis not a
blonde w/ a hint of red. It's red with a blonde-ish-ness and a distinct
multi-haired coloration througout. My cosmetologist grandma (rip '88)
called it Titian {tee-shan}. Me? I consider myself a redhead, burn very
easily, fair-skinned and can't stand the sun much at all.

Much love, Ranty Mc MoMo {took an antihistmine and then had a
starbucks this morning. I'm all over the damn place today}

"Some people call you gingerballs, they'll call you gingerballs..."

I want Murray Hewitt on this list.

Ms Momo, gracias =) consider me educated and forgive my error

Posted by: Nadine at May 1, 2010 4:53 PM

when did ron weasley get sort of hot?

Posted by: stopthemadness at May 1, 2010 8:27 PM

Wow. Oh wow. I feel like I got just trolled. Hendricks at SEVEN??

Science requires accurate taxonomy. Not everyone on this list is "ginger".

Also, who the hell is THIS:

I thought it was Felicia Day, but it's not. If she was that hot, she'd deserve to be at the top.

Posted by: AmbroseKalifornia at May 2, 2010 2:09 AM

Christina Hendricks is Number 1.... By Default...

Seriously, Don't upset the Internet. Fix the list before we get our pitchforks and torches.

Posted by: RonnyK at May 3, 2010 5:29 AM

Um, as a card-carrying representative of all hot gingers in the U.S., where the hell is Jayma Mays?

Posted by: Big Red 34 at May 12, 2010 12:34 PM

Natalya Rudakova. Game over.

Posted by: Sharktopus at August 2, 2010 8:31 PM
