If you, like all Netflix subscribers, are obsessed with the popular Israeli show, Shtisel, you may have spent a fair amount of time admiring star Michael Aloni. Aloni plays the tormented, lovelorn… artist Kiveh, and he's getting accolades for his sensitive portrayal of the young ultra-Orthodox man. However — and there's no doubt about this — Aloni is also getting considerable attention thanks to his very pretty face. (Swoon!) But it seems he takes it all in stride. When he was asked about being attractive by the New… >> Read More
