The movie star Paul Newman was widely regarded as the most attractive man in the world during his acting peak in the 1960s and 1970s. Women threw themselves at him, creating an abundance of sexual opportunities few men ever experience. When asked by a reporter why he never strayed and maintained total fidelity to his wife, actress Joanne Woodward, he replied with a metaphor: “Why eat hamburger out when you have steak at home?” This comment elevated his sexual attractiveness even more and drew a larger avalanche of female attention, but there is no evidence that he ever succumbed to temptation.
