YES! He is incredibly sexy...only without hair though.

Yul has my eternal esteem just for the fact that he did the "Shall We Dance" sequence with only one lung. Now there is a great performer.

What? Did he have cancer even then? Or are you talking about subsequent stage performances?

yeah, Yul had lung cancer when he did "King". after every take of "Shall we Dance" they hooked him up to a oxygen tank. one time he offered Maureen the mask, and she became so lightheaded she almost passed out! i think they took a 20 minute break after that.

This film was made in 1956. Brynner did not develop cancer until the mid-80's.

Yul is the bomb. He is the best, I think... He's so sharp and sexy. I totally had a crush on him when I was little. He showed a strict but caring side that was THE KING!

Even though this is my most #1 favorite movie in the world. Everything is flawless (the cinematography is magnificient and colorful). The entire cast and the costumes was fantastic. But as a woman, why we women are so attach to this movie? because of Yul Brynner's sexy body physique and drop dead gorgeous looks! He just has a body of a God ! There so many scenes when Yul just parted his shirt and shows his sexy muscular abs and a topless scene (oh yummy !) as well when he almost whips Tuptim. After Yul took his top off for the whip scene I just heard a choir singing Hallelujah! in my ears . Every time when he shows his body it makes you go back and rewind. He is just so very drop dead gorgeous! He has gorgeous brown eyes that are so hypnotic and seductive, you could not turn away. He deserve every bit of that Oscar. Whoever plan those scene must have been a genius ! If was one those actresses or leading lady with Yul as my leading man I would consider myself as the most luckiest woman in the world! Yul is very talented actor with lots of charisma, poise, sex appeal, wonderful body language,drop dead gorgeous looks,the sexy but great body physique and great presence. Mr. Brynner is known to be the most sexiest actor both on Hollywood screen and Broadway in history. This guy is definitely a true megastar! It was Yul's body that made the show!!! (and that is so very true)
I wish I married a guy exactly like him.
A Yul Brynner fan forever...
