Michael Bolton At The 2011 Emmys: Why Are Pirates So Sexy?
By Jessica Cruel. Posted on .
During the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, Michael Bolton hit the stage as Captain Jack Sparrow for his performance with Lonely Island, and even Lea Michele said he looked hot. Coincidentally, today happens to be International Talk Like A Pirate Day according to Twitter. So, what exactly is it about pirates, and why do we find them so sexy?
Perhaps it's the idea that they're very masculine—navigating the open seas with only their crew and their compass. Or maybe it's their mysterious yet intriguing image of danger and how they don't play by the rules ("Oh no, don't capture me, Mr. Pirate!"). Would you Date a Pirate?
Whatever it may be, we can't deny that we've seen some incredibly hot pirates on the seven seas... or at least on the silver screen. From Pirates of the Caribbean to The Princess Bride, these sexy swashbucklers have been known to steal our hearts along with some treasure. Check out our gallery to see Johnny Depp (because we know he's the sexiest pirate you would think of) and more!
"Ayyy, me hearties!"
