But lean and gaunt are NOT the same!
Dictionary definition of lean: "without much flesh or fat; not plump or fat; thin."
Dictionary definition of gaunt: "extremely thin and bony; haggard and drawn, as from great hunger, weariness, or torture; emaciated."
Lean is not a bad thing. Gaunt IS. I agree that he's lean. Of course. It's clear, especially when looking at his neck. But gaunt??? Haggard and drawn? Emaciated? NO!

p.s. Sorry. I'm just in a mood to debate today, I guess.

Hey Em.......looks like we were both working on this at the same time.......looks like I agree with you. I just said I didn't think Michael was gaunt at all.
Margaret
Also....just remembered DC was not at all bad in Deadlocked either........so just as I said before....looks good all through his career.

Ladies --- you have just "pickled me tink"! I am always up for a good debate and one that sends a person scurrying for a dictionary brings joy to this old school librarian's heart. Let's abandon "gaunt" then in favor of slender or lean. The only times I have seen DC not looking in absolute top form are in The John List Story (title might not be right on) and the early part of Season 5. He talked about losing 20 pounds so obviously he took care of the problem. Hope he didn't eat too much pasta during his summer vacation in Italy. (Been there, done that).

Karen--"Slender" or "Lean" would be PERFECT! I wholeheartedly agree with both terms. I will forever be an H girl (especially s3), but MH is quickly winning my heart. em

I like the way he looks as Michael Hayes: he seems to be in a great body-shape. The only times I think he wasn't at his best (looking-wise): Jade (too thin) and early season 5 (too heavy). My 2 cents for what it's worth. And Emily, thanks for giving the "dictionary-description", makes it more easy for me to translate the words and understand the discussion even better...... Sandra
