Did Carl Ultimately Morph Into The Best-Looking Beach Boy?

No- BRIAN DID. That's right. Just look at that handsome motherfukker dressed all in black on the Night Time 1988 performance.

~1967 Carl looks exactly like my dad when he was in highschool. Which is weird because my dad turned into an Al Pacino look-alike by the time he was 30.

Of course! Not until he was in his twenties though! Avec beard is better.

Dennis is definitely best-looking. Then Brian. (Obviously he let himself go at a certain point, but he is very handsome even now.) Then Carl, IMO. All the Wilsons are/were good-looking. I won't rate the rest.

I'd say that Dennis and Carl were equal in looks by the time Friends came out, Brian to me was the least attractive Wilson but not the least attractive Beach Boy. That honor goes to Mike Love

Brian, the least attractive Wilson?

Madness, that was one handsome dude

Personally, I think Dave Marks and Al Jardine were the weirdest looking Beach Boys.

Carl had lost a lot of weight from '78-'80...AND he was still fairly young (early '30s) in an aging band.  So I would say in that '80-'85 period...absolutely.

They say that the conservatorship battle over Brian (around '89-'90) aged Carl tremendously.  Apparently a huge toll on him personally, from what I have heard.  I'd believe it.

I'm in agreement with Adam.

In his prime, imho, Carl was every bit as good-lookin' as Dennis (albeit in his own way). But it was much more than good looks with Carl, it was the genuiness of his personality that was appealing as much as anything.
