Early 90s hotties suitable for enthronement as guru in pregnant women's commune

This list comes from a special place - the Robbie place. As a response to the new Robbie Williams 'Sin Sin Sin' video, we were talking about his suitability for guru-status and who else would have been suitable in the early 90s when he was just a "fat dancer" from Take That (thanks, Noel Gallagher).

In no particular order:
1. Patrick Swayze (he was way spiritual in Point Break, and there was the whole Ghost thing)
2. Johnny Depp
3. Keanu Reeves
4. River Phoenix
5. Jon bon Jovi
6. Bryan Adams
7. Kurt Cobain

Was thinking about Tom Cruise - in the context of the early 90s, but in true post-post-modernist fashion, can't get past the current craziness and possible fake pregnancy and/or knocking up of suddenly single starlet.
