Is it weird that I find David Bowie sexy in this movie?

Joining you here. His sex-appeal has always puzzled me. To me he looks like Clint Eastwood, who in turn looks like tree bark. Not dissing anyone, just wondering about the variety of human tastes
there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above her shoulder -

I agree with most of the other posters.. David Bowie is sexy! Especially in this movie. When I was a little kid I really wanted Sarah and Jareth to hook up. Now I realize that would be gross because she's so young.. but it still didn't keep me from daydreaming about it back then!

I don't think the idea of Sarah and Jareth being together is as disturbing as it could be, because Labyrinth is very much a fairy tale and you could say a character like Jareth is technically ageless compared to a normal human like Sarah.
A film like Labyrinth would never be made today with such a large age gap between the leading man and lady because people would just angrily dismiss it as peadophilia, which is frustrating. -

Cynical theory: Jareth is in a position of power, he's the king, that in itself is appealing, but the whole movie seems to be about a sexually inexperienced girl meeting a rich, tortured guy who seems to know about what sex is about and who at the end declares unconditional love to her.
Aren't those some of the elements that made Twilight and fifty shade of grey appealing to plenty of women?
