Would You?: Philippe Mexes

We’ve not featured much of Philippe Mexes on Kickette, and we’re curious to know what our loyal readers think of the 26-year-old Frenchman.
He currently plays as a rough and tumble central defender for Roma and has two children, Enzo and Eva. (Cute names, no?) In a seriously scary moment last year, Eva was taken from his girlfriend, Carla, during a carjacking.
He has about 400 tattoos, including the names and birth dates of his children and a dragon on his calf muscle. We will inform you now that Philippe has been known to carry a man bag.
Oh, and he also likes to express himself through hair: Philippe hearts ponytails.
We think he’s kind of cute, even though he does take it a pigtail too far for us most of the time. You?

He is so sexy , he has body and nice face make me feel I want have sex with him .. yummy
This man is all kinds of sexy I would definitely do him
i so would NOT !
Can't stand the hair, so no. But gorgeous body!
Sarah, you just hit the nail on the head. Thank you!!! And that’s exactly why I would. He reminds me of a Eurotrashtic version of Robbie Savage, who, as some of you know, is my shameful secret footy lust that must not be named.
Ooops. Too late.
love-hate. he can be awesome and he can be a total uninteresting dude
eugh, the hair! no way
Well being 26, he's in my gang, but I still wouldn't. He reminds me of Totti and I don't find him particularly appealing. Plus the tats are bad. But just like Totti, I rate him and totally admire his loyalty to Roma…
Possibly one of the most unattractive torsos in football. Absolutely not.
the belly button tattoo is a dealbreaker. sorry, monsieur mexes.
In a heartbeat.
YES. hair.
Blondes just aren't my thing so no I wouldn't, But he is a good defender.
The hair reminds me of Robbie Savage's. Blegh.
Meh….no!…for a guy who has tatts and long hair, i find him surprisingly unattractive…
no thanks. he reminds me of Voronin, actually.
He’s really good looking. but I have to agree that he’s a little too feminine
Arguably, I would take what I’m given at the moment, but that being said, my answer is a resounding NO. Wtf is that belly button tattoo all about?
I like his hair when he sticks to the one ponytail or the half up half down thing he does a lot. I've never been fond of his bellybutton tattoo though… it's a little weird. Partially, I suppose, because I had a temporary tattoo that looked just like it in the same spot when I was ten.
I can agree with that. I think he looks awesome with his clothes on. And really I love anything and everything Roma… so it kills me to say that the bellybutton tattoo makes it a no… I would not. If I were asked about Vucinic though, it would be a definite YES.
Ew, kickette…no…no and no again. Yucky and icky and no…I must now go look at Nando's thighs again and cleanse my brain…
My answer was going to be "no" – but after seeing the belly tattoo I think I'll change to..HELL NO!
No.
HAHA I just read your info— your comment about Vucinic running around in his undies– I love it! I would take most of the players on Roma. Love Panucci, he has such a sweet face. Cassetti is beautiful too- I'd take him running around my room next to naked. And though sometimes he looks like a Muppet, I can't help but like Aquilani.
I will agree- the belly tattoo and multiple tails is very off-putting. But he's a great defender and dear god does that body look hot in tight clothing.
Its a No from me.
IS IT MY BIRTHDAY AND I DON'T KNOW IT??? SWEET LAWD KICKETTE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? MY FRENCHIE LUVAH PHILOU ON THE MAIN PAGE? *dies* YES I BLOODY WOULD OHHHH YES I WOULD Even when he wears his hair like this Kickette you are a goddess.
He looks like Kian Egan from Westlife. And that sun tattoo on his belly button is a big no no. Look slike the rest of the ladies here agree with me in saying that while scrolling down to see that revolting tattoo, BIG NO TO HIM!
uh…no.
An emphatic NO from me.
Hell no.
Tiny nipples, bad hair, tattoo around his belly button, being French, having chilren. All reasons that no, I wouldn't.
no
I'm really suprised by all the 'no's here. I mean, he has hair issues, sure, and that questionable tat, but otherwise…. *scratches head* Anyway, I'm still saying 'no', too! LOL! He's no John Terry.
When I saw the chest, I was a yes. Then I saw the belly button tattoo… so, sorry dude, but that makes it a big no.
I’m going to have to go with no on this one. I think its the hair that is almost as long as mine and the tattoo around the belly button that make me say no.
hell yea i would hes gorgeous
KICKETTE!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! I would, I would, I would!!!
This just made my Thursday so much happier!
hm, i dont normally go for the long hair but he is fitt
.. but im not sure about the belly button tatoo ha
oh good lord no- I only have 4971 characters remaining to post so I can not possibly name all the reasons why.
Ohhh, where’s Ali?
I’d definitely hit it; I can’t put my finger on it, but I just find him so adorable.
I didn’t realize there were some Roma supporters about- how about you stop by the serie a thread sometime?
Hell no.
Tiny nipples, bad hair, tattoo around his belly button, being French, having chilren. All reasons that no, I wouldn’t.
no
This is one v. unattractive ‘baller – I’m dissapointed!!
