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

Ralph Fiennes

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 22/07/2019 19:51

Colin Mochrie.

And Dara O'Briain. I would, in popular MN parlance, climb him like a particularly sturdy and attractive tree.

Chaoticnewtral · 22/07/2019 20:01

Mickey Rourke...

~runs away from thread as fast as stumpy little legs will carry~

RaisedByLesbians · 22/07/2019 20:24

I'm crying laughing at the pp who said Patrick from Eastenders..... what the actual fuck 😂😂😂

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 27/07/2019 10:58

@TellerTuesday4EVA On my "Watched Threads" that comes up as, "I'm crying laughing at the pp who said Patrick from …"

Spongebob. My brain keeps adding Spongebob. Now that would really be a "shouldn't".

Althogh he is cuddly, good natured, has a nice deep voice... Confused

NoTheresa · 27/07/2019 11:21

Mark Rylance. Oh yes...

banskuwansku · 27/07/2019 16:04

...and Nigel farage

TellerTuesday4EVA · 27/07/2019 16:33

@Zoidbergonthehalfshell 😂 I don't think sponge bob Patrick is bad as Eastenders Patrick if I'm honest

CherithPonsonby · 27/07/2019 16:46

Machine Gun Kelly as Tommy Lee.

I’m so confused.

TinyMystery · 27/07/2019 16:52

Antoni Porowski and Selena Gomez. My tastes are varied I guess? 😂

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 27/07/2019 17:00

Ed Milliband.
Nick Clegg.
Edwin Van der Sar.
Gary Neville.
Dele Alli.
Larry Rickard from Horrible Histories.
Jason Isaacs, even as Lucius Malfoy and even more so as Captain Gabriel Lorca.
Alexander Siddig, even more so Dr Julian Bashir.

And yes, I'm aware that really only the top 2 could actually qualify as "shouldnt but would."

feellikeanalien · 27/07/2019 17:00

Another one for Jurgen Klopp. That smile is just too much.
Jose Mourinho.
Roger Waters.
Sean Bean.

PinkDaydreams · 27/07/2019 17:06

Liam Neeson (I’m only thirty so he’s a lot older than meBlush )

DixieLandReject · 28/07/2019 10:24

Yes to Ed Miliband

thewooster · 28/07/2019 10:30

David Rich off Garden Rescue...he's same age as my daughter.

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 28/07/2019 10:38

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Gregg Wallace

Cattenberg · 28/07/2019 11:31

Martin Hughes-Games. He’s 63, only slightly younger than my dad Blush. He also reminds me of an ex who turned it to be a twat. Similar looks, similar mannerisms, same chuckle. But he cares about animals and if he were single, I totally would.

I used to have a big crush on chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, who is also too old for me. I had dreams of meeting him in his Erb Garden and him saying “you are not classically beeyootifool, but you ‘ave sometheeng”.

I get the interest in Hanssen from Holby City. I saw Guy Henry on Pointless Celebrities and he was very witty. He should be on TV more often.

chrislilleyswig · 28/07/2019 12:41

Tali. Larry Rickard is definitely a should and should.

And should again BlushSmile
