In honor of everyone’s favorite weekly social media holiday, BuzzFeed took to Twitter to champion the hashtag #historicalbang. You know, old-timey hotties, or crush objects from decades past.
it's #tbt, tweet us your #historicalbang
— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) June 5, 2014What deceased historical figures would you bang if they weren’t currently rotting in the ground? Classic hotties like James Dean, Paul Newman, Mairlyn Monroe, and Audbrey Hepburn all surfaced as predicted. The delightful surprise of #historcialbang, though, were the studs from way, way back—and the younger versions of celebrities we would definitely swipe right for.
The historical hotties:
