Redheads are sexy. They are just as sexy as blondes or brunettes. Just ask artist Thomas Knights, the creator of an ongoing film and photo project appropriately named ‘Red Hot’ is a trying rebrand the stereotypical ideas of redheaded men.
He explains his reason behind the exhibit, “As far as I can see, no one has focused (or noticed) the huge, polarised gap between the way our society perceives red headed women (often the ultimate woman – think Jessica Rabbit) and red headed males (often emasculated and de-sexulised in film and TV – no Hollywood heroes, heartthrobs – few leading men). No other hair colour has this level of gender inequality in any society, and RED HOT holds a mirror up to the preconceived limitations we put on the red headed males”.
Here at Galore, we agree Mr. Knight and that’s why we put together our own “Red Hot” list of ginger men. And we promise if ever given the chance we would never treat them like “red-headed step children”.
5. Kevin Mckidd
This Grey’s Anatomy star can check our anatomy anytime. He’s incredibly with a Scottish accent. Does it get better than that.
4. Michael Rapaport
We all fell in love with Rapaport when he showed us love has no color in Zebrahead. The Tribe Called Quest documentarian curly red hair is what makes him so damn adorable. His love for NY basketball and hip hop is just icing to the cake.
3. Conan O’Brien
Conan is cute as he is funny. The late night host shows us that redheads actually do have more fun.
2. Jesse Tyler Ferguson
The Modern Family star is the kind of guy you take home to momma. He’s polite, loves the theatre and pretty funny. He’s the guy you date after you’re tired of all the ‘bad boys’.
1. Prince Harry
He’s hot. Great body, gorgeous red hair, and he’s a PRINCE. He’s much more manly than his brother and likes to play the field, which makes us love him more. Did we mention he’s a prince?
