Sonny Bunch's Top 5 Man Crushes

Guardians of the Galaxy
"Pretty great" Chris Pratt
August 12, 2016

Washington Free Beacon executive editor Sonny Bunch is a man of many opinions. He voices them constantly on the Internet. While many of his opinions may be terrible, from his love of Mad Max, Man of Steel, and Anne Hathaway to his description of cargo shorts as "great," one thing is clear: Bunch has great taste in men.

Who doesn't appreciate a good male lead who can make a brooding, troubled character given to withering stares look sexy?

Here are the very best of Sonny Bunch man crushes*:

1. Chris Hemsworth

"It’s actually kind of unfair how great Chris Hemsworth is," Bunch wrote in a recent blog post.

Totally unfair.

Easily the hottest Chris on Bunch’s crush list, "dreamy" Hemsworth caught Bunch’s attention by shining in Ghostbusters, an otherwise dull film. Bunch heaped praise on the actor’s talents. His comedic talents, to be clear.

2. Chris Pratt

Bunch loved Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s not hard to see why.

Pratt got into shape for the role by lifting weights and giving up beer. Bunch loves a good fitspiration.

Six months no beer. #GOTG Kinda douchey to post this but my brother made me.

3. Chris Pine

Bunch raved about Chris Pine’s acting in two recent reviews. He even commissioned artwork for the piece. Praising his "stringy hair and baleful blue eyes," Bunch said he was awed by Pine’s "subtle kind of stardom."

Chris Pine also acted in a film with Tom Hardy, another Bunch favorite.

4. Chris Evans

Bunch has been a fan of Chris Evanswork as Captain America. Bunch has described Evans as "kind of meh," in private, but the actor is not without positive qualities.

5. Chris Nolan

I’ve never seen a Christopher Nolan movie, so I have to trust Bunch that he’s a good writer and director. Bunch crushes hard on Nolan's directing. He has at least one The Dark Knight poster hanging in his office. After hours of Googling, it's plain to see why Bunch is such a fan. Nolan is a master at portraying the brooding man stare.

Some may say that Bunch's opinions are terrible. I just think they're consistent!

*Because I’ve never seen a movie featuring any of these actors, nor have I seen a movie made by Christopher Nolan (although I did watch all of Parks and Recreation and found Chris Pratt to be delightful), this ranking was based entirely on physical appearances.
