Nothing strange about Clive Myrie @SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit 👍

Ange Postecoglou.

I'm laughing at the idea that Mark Strong, Philip Glenister as Hunt, Alan Rickman as Snape and Patrick from Sewing Bee would be considered 'strange' crushes. Those are very normal crushes. Millions of women fancy them. In the case of the Hunt and Snape characters, they are deliberately scripted and acted with exactly that in mind.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of Sexy Maxy! He looks absolutely filthy! Mine is Bradley Walsh. Sorry.

He looks like rumpelstiltskin from Shrek 3.

Ben Fogel.... It's a running joke in our house as DH is the exact opposite (but still lovely)

James Corden
But i think it's Smithy that I have a crush on.

KimberleyClark · 26/06/2024 09:05

Ben Mendelssohn.

FitFatKat · 26/06/2024 09:02

Just googled and indeed cheerful Charlie

FitFatKat · 26/06/2024 08:58

Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton. There was a time last year when I would watch Youtube clips of him and Simone Ashley as Kate on loop. He’s gay and I am not even remotely bi-curious, but somehow I fancy both of them!

Louis Theroux. No explanation needed.

As an arriviste in a farming community, I’m suddenly very interested in the expert chap (?Charlie) in Clarkson’s Farm.

Churchview · 26/06/2024 08:54

Henry Cole.

RubySloth · 26/06/2024 08:49

Agree with cheerful Charlie 😂

Alan Rickman was very sexy.
Agree with Richard Hammond. Have always liked him.
Mark Strong
Neil Oliver but without the beard.
Eric Cantona but only as a farmer..
Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.
Phil Glenister but only as Gene Hunt..
Michael Palin
Steve Irwin

Phil Glenister but only as Gene Hunt.

Yes!!!!!!

I came on to say Chris Mason… gobsmacked that several have beaten me to it! But that accent! And the fact that I’ve never seen a reporter who seems to enjoy their job quite as much as him. I’ve also got a bit of a thing for Clive Myrie!

Chris Packham and Mark Strong are NOT strange crushes: they’re both very attractive men.

KimberleyClark · 26/06/2024 08:44

DoYouSmokePaul · 26/06/2024 08:04

I was on the Chase and beat him. He’s v v lovely in person. Don’t fancy him but would love to be his BFF!

I fancy Elis James and Tim Key.

Show quote history

Glad to hear he’s lovely IRL and well done for beating him! My other strange crush is The Menace. That combination of Irish accent, brains (he’s a neuroscientist) and wit…..

EscapeTheCastle · 26/06/2024 08:36

Everyone loves a bit of Gene Hunt don't they?
Kurtan from This Country.
Stephen Graham playing any character but I don't like his Al Capone. That's a character no one could fancy.

Bluevelvetsofa · 26/06/2024 08:29

Chris Mason, BBC political bloke
Sewing Bee Patrick

DelythBeautyQueen · 26/06/2024 08:15

Agree snape is sexy af

Show quote history

It's because he's complicated and bitter and mysterious and dressed in all black.

Funny because if I met a bitter, complicated and mysterious man dressed in all bblack on the dating scene, I would ghost faster than you can say expelliarmus.

Complicated men - sexy in films, big NO IRL 😂

Christopher Walken
Malcolm Tucker (Fictional)
Terry Hall

Yes, Malcolm Tucker. But also Alastair Campbell. (I know, I am a bit odd.)

In the same arena, BBC political editor Chris Mason.

Reece Shearsmith
Harry Hill
Chris Packham
Wayne Rooney - I know 🤷🏻‍♀️
