Michael Imperioli (Christopher from The Sopranos) Attractive or not?

I've always found him sexy. He hasn't aged well, but he looked good in his 30s.

Yes he’s attractive. I saw him recently and he still looked ok.

Watch White Lotus Season 2. I thought he looked great.

I kicked the tires. He's still worth a cruise or two.

Funny, I think he's more attractive now vs when he was on Sopranos. But he still looks like he manages a pizza place in Bensonhurst.

I think he's always been very attractive. I really like the way he looks here.

He appeared in the movie I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) as a queen who was part of Warhol's entourage- such a different role then he played three years later on the Sopranos.

Here he is shirtless on Law & Order - where he finds a dead body in his bathroom

Agreed. I think in his case it's probably thick as hell.

He, Gandolfini, de Matteo with their normal, obviously more posh/educated accents are just stunning. They seem like completely different people

I was in high school when The Sopranos was on; I’d jerk off every Sunday night thinking about him railing me senseless.

I thought he was sexy too OP. I don't know what it was about him, but I always thought he was sexy as hell.

While watching him in White Lotus, I kept expecting Drea de Matteo's Adriana to walk in at any second.

Unibrow, pelican nose, weak chin, gaunt face ... I'd say not in the lifetime.

I always thought he was attractive, even in Goodfellas as Spider, who got shot in the foot by Joe Pesci.

Sat next to him at lunch about 10 years ago. Very sexy. He just has “it.”

I think he's more attractive now than ever. Loved his look and energy in White Lotus. He seemed a bit jaundiced in The Sopranos.

Granted I like old men but I thought he was pretty fuckable sporting a grey beard

Great question. I don't know if I find him attractive or not. There are moments when I think he's very sexy, then other times not so. But I do enjoy watching him.

I guess he has that "Mona Lisa" quality about him.

by Anonymousreply 26January 1, 2023 1:17 PM

I would let him stick it all in. Not just the head.

Not - I do not get it. Talented, yes. Attractive? No.

I'm watching "White Lotus" season 2 right now, and I'm struck by how old he looks. Deeply creased, and it looks like he's been spray-tanned at Trump level. He also has an unceasing, pained expression, but maybe that's par for the character.

I watched every episode of "Talking Sopranos" on YouTube. Imperioli & Steve Schirippa (Bobby Bacala) discuss every episode of the Sopranos. Michael is very intelligent. Steve is dumb and loud but can dish dirt on some celebrities.

I never thought MI was attractive and even less so on "Talking Sopranos." He'd appear with his hair half-dyed and half white (roots). He dyes his hair for roles, not for regular life. Not my cup of tea, though I like that DLers have varied tastes in men.

by Anonymousreply 30January 1, 2023 10:10 PM

Did I read somewhere that he became an addict and he didn’t get regular big movie roles or a great series for a long time after the show because he was in recovery? Or is that someone else?

by Anonymousreply 31June 28, 2023 1:07 PM

It's more the confidence and attitude than his looks

I remember a scene in the Sopranos in which he and the girlfriend (can’t remember her name) and another couple were in a bar or nightclub and we were expected to believe that he had the gravitas and personal magnetism to walk across the bar, do nothing more than fix some jerks with a stony glare, and immediately inspire them to shut up and stop being so jerky.

He then returns to the people he was with and they are ever so impressed.

And I remember thinking that David Chase’s admiration for the actor as a person had blinded him. The scene was just not believable. One glare from that guy just doesn’t chill people to the bone.

by Anonymousreply 37June 28, 2023 4:43 PM

Listening to his podcast, he doesn’t seem over James Gandolfini’s passing. None of them do. Edie Falco can’t watch The Sopranos because his absence is too upsetting.

R40 - But Michael, honey, bigots and homophobes aren't watching your work anyway.

He'd be more enduringly handsome if someone took a lawnmower to his unfortunate eyebrows.

R37, IIRC, he said something (whispered in someone’s ear), not just glared. I always assumed he said something about being in the Mafia, having a gun, etc.

But you’re right about David Chase having a soft spot for Imperioli. Chase admitted that the character should’ve been killed off earlier b/c he was a liability.

Chase also liked the actor who played Artie Buco.

I saw him sitting at a restaurant bar a couple months ago. Before I realized who it was, I remember thinking, "Damn. That's a good looking man."

R46, was that at Stonewall or Julius'?

Imperioli looks like he could give a mean fuck and could provide for his partner. It's the eyebrow/ eye gaze. It's great seeing he has gray hair. Super attractive!

by Anonymousreply 48July 3, 2023 2:59 PM

R44, he probably should have been whacked early on, but Tony really loved him. He put up with a lot of crap from him, but the car accident was the last straw. You could see it in Tony's killer eyes, which were very frightening and those of a psychopath, I'm done!

Annoying Tony Bucco and his annoying wife should have been gotten rid of early.

It was a great scene after Carmela treated Charmaine like the maid, so Charmaine told her she fucked Tony back in school and decided, nope, and she’s happier poor but married to a non-murderer.

by Anonymousreply 53July 4, 2023 8:46 AM

R53, I agree that Charmaine was a moral foil to the Sopranos, but she never seemed happy, at all! She seemed like an unhappy, over-worked, resentful woman married to a man she didn't respect.

by Anonymousreply 54July 4, 2023 12:31 PM

That was so real to me. I met a million Charmaines in my life. It’s such great writing. As was Carmela. The bougie Italian housewife with the overdone hair, nails, clothing, jewellery was a common sight in my Catholic school in the 1990s.

R54 I think that was the moral of the story. Dirty bastards prosper at the expense of shmucks. (Until the chickens come home to roost, anyway.)
