mine is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I'm sure there are more but he's probably top of that list! 🙈

Wtf is Dave Grohl doing on this list?!

LBOCS2 · 21/07/2019 09:05

Monty Don. For reference, I'm well under half his age... but he's all competent and calm. I like that.

Probably Dick Strawbridge too Blush

RickOShay · 21/07/2019 09:06

Agreed Hooman.
No shame about Dave Grohl surely?

StripeyChina · 21/07/2019 09:06

JRM (shame)
Tbf to myself, he reminds me SO much of a RL person I never got over.
(looks, mannerisms, school etc)
Scarily the other person from that time in my life is a doppelganger for
BJohnson(but i'm over him now ;)

@castlecutie 😂 I think I just generally have a thing for celebrities who are old enough to be my dad

Animum2 · 21/07/2019 09:20

Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman both many years older than me

polkadotpixie · 21/07/2019 09:22

Greg Davies. He's not conventionally attractive but there's just something about him

Charleymouse · 21/07/2019 09:22

Tim Curry in the Annie/Rocky Horror days&Chevy Chase in the Foul Play movie..Prince-any decade wouldve done me just fine..Questlove-he's so fineGrin

SimonJT · 21/07/2019 10:02

Troye Sivan, far, far too young for me.

Standstilling · 21/07/2019 10:08

Greg Davies definitely. Timothy Spall - in some recent roles he’s just so, I don’t know, capable.

Jayneisagirlsname · 21/07/2019 10:12

Sean pertwee - it's the growly voice. Also he can wear his butler overcoat from Gotham

Decormad38 · 21/07/2019 11:01

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 21/07/2019 11:04

Billy Connolly. When he was well obviously.
