Chico Marx : who's the hottest?

who's the hottest?

i know this may seem like a strange question, but who do you reckon is the hottest marx brother? (please don't hurt me...)

Re: who's the hottest?

Good question!

They each had their good points. Groucho's witty, Chico's charming, Harpo's adorable and Zeppo's romantic. But I gotta go with Chico; pretty eyes, b68 contageous smile--he had "it." And actually, in real life women swarmed on him. I can see why.

Re: who's the hottest?

Gotta be Chico. He was the oldest but definately the most attractive, such a great face.
But they're actually all rather handsome, not least because they look so alike (in Duck Soup when Chico and Harpo are done up as Groucho you really can't tell the difference between them.) But as you said, they all have their unique qualities, which is why they work so well together.

Re: who's the hottest?

I agree w/ everything Baravelli the ice lady said. But if I had the chance to date one of them (once I was of proper age), it would be Groucho. But I do find Chico the most attractive.

Re: who's the hottest?

Just out of curiosity, sailorvenus, why Groucho?

I love a guy w/ a brilliant wit like that.

Re: who's the hottest?

And that reminds me...cgoudey, you never gave a response to your own thread. What's your opinion?

Re: who's the hottest?

Zeppo was probably the most stereotypically cute, and Chico would probably win for the most charming, and since he was such a ladies man, he'd probably win for hottest. But for my own personal taste, it would be Harpo hand's down. :D

Also, I'm glad to know I'm not alone. ;)

Re: who's the hottest?

Gotta hand it to Harpo. There's just something about him that is endearingly sweet and he has great eyes. About Groucho...yeah he had a great wit but he emotionally abused his wives. For me that takes him right off the list.

Re: who's the hottest?

I actually think that Zeppo is the most good looking, but for me Chico would win hands down.

Re: who's the hottest?

I'm reading Harpo Speaks at the moment, and aside from being probably the funniest book I've ever read, it shows what a lovely person he was, so he'd be the most dateable in that respect. But Chico was definitely the best looking, he had such pretty eyes...

Re: who's the hottest?

Either Groucho (the intellectual) or Harpo (the cute one). They're both so sweet...but I think I'd go for Harpo.

Re: who's the hottest?

We were discussing this over on www.comedyclassics.org which is a great site, and most of us over there said we would date Chico and marry Harpo. That's definately what I would do anyway. I agree that Zeppo was conventionally handsome, but I think Chico was the best looking. I don't find much attractive about Groucho at all.

Re: who's the hottest?

Well,Chico IS nice...i wouldn't mind dating him(or somethin' goin' on,either)...but,I've always thought Zeppo was very romantic-looking...But,i would really want Harpo.So...

Chico-no dates,all fun...
Zeppo-Old-Fashion Romance...
Harpo-lots and lots of dating...
Groucho-no dates...

Re: who's the hottest?

It's a funny question to consider, especially since they've all been dead longer than most of us have been alive, so it's all conjecture and subjective. Having said that, my personal favorite has always been Harpo. He seemed to be the perfect man, and if he wasn't a celebrity would probably have been every girl's best friend as she cried about having her heart broken by someone like Chico.

Re: who's the hottest?

of all the brothers, I think Chico is the hottest...but he'd probably be the first one to cheat unfortunately ( who could blame him though. he was an attractive, suave, and charming guy!!) So after him, I'd pick Harpo because he is as equally as attractive and fun-loving...who you could marry and have like 20 kids with and live happily ever after..the end

Re: who's the hottest?

They're all very attractive, but I'd have to say Chico. Aside from his looks, I'm a sucker for his style of piano playing.

Re: who's the hottest?

When asking who is the hottest, are we to decide based on their actual looks (out of makeup & costume) or on their movie characters? I saw a clip of Harpo on youtube dressed for a movie premiere and he looks rather good. In the early movie 16d0 s, Zeppo looks best. But, in real life they all looked good.

Re: who's the hottest?

I can see why women would find Chico the hottest. Even if he weren't handsome, he was a piano player and they have always been attractive to women no matter what they looked like. I'm starting another thread saying, I think Lillian Roth in "Animal Crackers" was the hottest actress in their movies, so I will leave now.

Re: who's the hottest?

the first time i saw Harpo he won me over that very instant. it was his first scene in A Night At the Opera in which he's standing in front of the mirror stretching his arms and "singin" like an opera singer, and then later when he played the harp i melted. he's definitely my favorite and if i had to marry one of them it would be him.

BUT as far as looks go Chico is SOO hot. its the way he looks into the camera(or at the side of it) when he plays the piano, its sooo sauve, one smile from him and im his; one look from those eyes and im his again.

Re: who's the hottest?

Harpo won me over the first time i saw him.
No matter how old he looked in Movies or pictures..i still liked him!
ive never met him but somehow he wood me! Im 16 and i think he is the cutest one..and mysterious. I smile when i see him, im close to crying when he plays his harp..and when i hear him talk i smile and when i see pictures of him before he died 2 or 3 years lator...it tugs at my heart.

If Harpo was alive today i would fall for him as fast as someone who likes chico would fall for him..Harpo was smart even though he didn't finish 2nd grade.

Iv'e been pondering for months if harpo went to heaven. Im hoping so much he did! I also have my doubts..but i must say im more hopefull then i am doubtfull.

God rest Harpo, Chico, Groucho,Zeppo and Gummo!



Re: who's the hottest?

1. Harpo was SO CUTE. Would marry him <3
2. Chico was kinda HOT.
3. Zeppo doesn't attract me.
4. Groucho is ugly as sin. (just my personal opinion, don't mean to offend)

Re: who's the hottest?

In their prime in the 1930's, they were all attractive in my opinion.

Chico would be my first choice.
Harpo my second choice
Groucho my third choice
Zeppo my fourth choice.

But it didn't matter, I would have taken any 4 of the Marx Brothers had they asked me to you know...

Re: who's the hottest?

There's something about Chico that makes him the hottest. The way he looks into the camera sometimes....purely flirtatious and suave. He was the sexiest; I can see why he was such a ladies man.
Harpo is so irresistibly adorable not to mention sweet.
Groucho- I don't find particularly attractive but he's the funniest to me. The man's incredible sharp wit amazes me.
Zeppo- meh. He might've been the funniest off-camera but on-camera he's not particularly entertaining or charming.
