Leonard Whiting – Age 72
The sophisticated English actor Leonard Whiting is still very much alive and kicking, although he stepped out of the entertainment industry to pursue other passions. Before his final on-screen appearance in “Social Suicide” in 2015, he had earned his legendary status as a heartthrob of the silver screen in his heyday.
The Golden Globe Award winner became popular with his role in the 1968 adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet.” With his chiseled jaw and dreamy blue eyes, it’s no wonder Whiting captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Surprisingly, he was only 17 when he played the iconic role of Romeo, a rare feat for a youngster.
