Can we all show our love for Michael Aloni ?

April 2024 ยท 5 minute read

Can we all show some love for the incredibly sexy Israeli actor Michael Aloni ? Aloni turns 39 the end of this month, and has made a name for himself on TV in the Israeli drama "Shtisel" (Netflix) and the gay love story 'Out of the Dark' (with some great gay love scenes in the movie) . Among other movies and television shows he has starred in over the past 15 years, he is currently starring in the Netflix series 'Beauty Queen of Jerusalem' which starts season 2 in a few weeks. Not sure if he's gay or straight, but he was very convincing as gay in 'Out of the Dark'.

Any other Aloni fans out there ?

LOVED him in Shtisel. Had to stop watching when it became clear that Kiva was going to marry his cousin. Haven't seen Season 3, but he is smokin'.

Everyone has got to watch 'Out of the Dark' - great movie, great acting by the two lead actors who are adorable ( Aloni is one of them), great story and great sex scenes.

Smokin' hot. He's featured on quite a few DL threads, including "hot guys with thin lips":

Any rumors on him being gay ? He's pushing 40 and no women in his life ? Damn!

Hot, yet also looks like he's holding in a fart

He was cute when he was younger, too - being a host of that music contest. Cute with lighter, longer hair. Hot twink !

He looks like Tom Hiddleston to me. I like 'em lean and long like that.

Not sure if he's gay, but he tends to stay somewhat under the radar and there tends to be little gossip about Israeli actors. But he is certainly hot. I found his character in SHTISEL a bit annoying at first, but he really grew on me in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. He had a small role in the recent SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE remake as Chastain's new lover.

R7 He looks nothing like Tom Hiddleston . Hiddleston is FUGLY. This guy is gorgeous.

I've been watching Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, and it's very uneven. Like Shtisel, it takes longer to tell it's story than it needs to. Some of the direction is downright inept and the acting is variable. Aloni plays a character at two stages of his life and he's less convincing as the older character. You do get a nice butt shot of him in one scene with a prostitute.

He looks like that American actor who was in the 1995 movie Jeffrey.

You're thinking of Steven Weber, R12. There's some resemblance, but Aloni is more handsome IMO.

Better take in all the gay israeli action you can before Netanyahu and his crazy right wing cronies ban it and send all the gay israelis into camps to be reeducated.

Hunk. 'Out in the Dark' was a great movie.

'Shtisel' leaves Netflix on March 24th. I'm going to have to binge. I have a thing for Jewish men. And, maybe sacrilegiously, I therefore have a weird but SERIOUS thing for Hasidic men. (I hope that's not offensive,)

Similar drama was 'Srugim' - On Prime. Excellent.

[quote]Srugim' The series depicted the lives of five religious Zionist single men and women, in their 30s, who reside in Jerusalem. The title is a reference to the crocheted skullcaps worn by men of that segment of Israeli society. Srugim, which dealt with controversial issues in the Religious Zionist society in Israel, caused a public uproar within that sector.

Must also recommend 'Yossi & Jagger." Another excellent Israeli movie.

Ah. Also the Israeli film 'Eyes Wide Open.' Excellent. Have watched it so many times, I bought it.

[quote]A married, Orthodox, Jerusalem butcher and Jewish father of four falls in love with his handsome, 22-year-old male apprentice, triggering the suspicions of his wife and the disapproval of his Orthodox community.

Aloni is one of my TV Boyfriends. I loved Shtisel (I wish I had time to binge it before it leaves Netflix; the cast is so good), then watched When Heroes Fly because he was in in (didn't love it). He's in Our Boys, albeit in a small part, which I thought was excellent. Beauty Queen of Jerusalem was one of the most uneven shows I've seen lately. The acting was all over the place, some good, some awful, as was the plotting. As R11 said, we do get him in a couple of sex scenes -- thanks! -- but his wig in the later scenes is so bad you can't take your eyes off it.
