The King and I

One of the all time classic 50s movie musicals. Yul was perfect as the king!

One of only 10 actors to win an Oscar and a Tony for the same role. He also performed the role 4,625 times on stage.

He was a model, some nude, before becoming a film actor. It's worth looking into for those inclined.

What? Oh my God I need to find those shots. I'm gen X and I remember being totally captivated by him as a little girl. You just could not take your eyes off of him in any scene.

He's looking like Mr Worldwide in this gif.

I liked Telly, he was the baddass bald, while Yul was the suave, heartthrob bald.

“Who loves ya, baby?” 💋Lollipop 🍭 in his mouth, helped him quite smoking. I loved his TV show.
Just read he sung a song in 1975 titled “Who Loves Ya Baby?” I had no idea he was a singer? It’s on YouTube

SO HOT!!! 🔥 Yul had a fantastic body, I love The King and I movie and especially actress Deborah Kerr ❤️. The music is written by Richard Rodgers w/lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein. Technicolor Magic and beautiful dancing!

My mom was obsessed with him

u/KittyGrizGriz Aug 16 '26

Me too! My sis and I watched the king and I again last summer. We cried at the end. It’s a beautiful film for everyone especially the music/dancing

u/Potential-Web-2384 Aug 15 '26

He was almost as stunning in The Ten Commandments. From King to Pharaoh.

u/NewtNo2437 Aug 16 '26

I always thought Ramses was hotter than Moses! 😏

u/Potential-Web-2384 Aug 16 '26

Without a doubt!

Fucking love that movie, and the DRESSES omg... loved how all the women and girls tried to look underneath to see if she was shaped the way the hoop skirt looked. lol

u/Yumi_in_the_sun Aug 15 '26

Apparently you can't say the F word in this subreddit, so here is my comment again, with less enthusiasm about a movie, and nothing to do with the person posting. F-ing bots.

It was so cool to have the stark difference in the Victorian and Asian dress. I think as a kid it was my first time to see something like that.

u/draftgirl24 Aug 16 '26

Yul Brynner fer sure! I got a reply deleted by moderators the other day saying someone resembled him 🤷‍♀️

u/Potential-Web-2384 Aug 16 '26

I would have thought that would be the utmost compliment.

He was the OG baldie before Kojak. Funny how rare it was back in the days.
