Man crushes: What is it about Eric Bana?

Hey, I've got eyes. Eric Bana is one handsome guy. But I'm a gay man and we notice these things all the time. What has been interesting is how many straight guys notice! Maybe it's because of my blog or whatever but straight male friends, co-workers or acquaintances will sometimes tell me which hot celeb they would consider "switching teams" for. I get some Matthew McConaugheys, a Harry Connick Jr, (sigh), sometimes a Brad Pitt.
But the name that pops up more often than I expect is Eric Bana! I asked one guy a few days ago WHY Eric? "Did you see him in 'Troy'?' Well, yeah, I did. But I was pretty much zeroed in on Brad Pitt in that movie and that costume he had on. I know I have some straight male readers out there. Anyone want to share their man crushes with us??? I'm trying to understand you people better!

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Hi, Greg. Been reading your blog for a while now, it became one of my regular stops of the day.
I'm no straight guy, but I totally understand the man-crushes on Eric Bana. I'm of the opinion that he's way better looking than Brad Pitt, and doesn't have that "Hollywood Production Line Pretty Boy"-look that Pitt has, IMO.
Cheers,
J.

Well, let me just say that Eric Bana is a man's man. It's not so much that I would switch teams for him ... just admire him for his quality, that's all.
