The five free passes

187 replies

My eldest, 18, has just discovered the idea of having five 'free passes', celebrities you're jokingly 'allowed' to have a snog with by your current partner (but obviously not really). She thinks it's hilarious, but is currently glum because she can only think of two celebrities she wants on her list, because she's also discovered that sometimes, your girlish crush looks very different a few years later.

Of all the dilemmas in the world, it's obviously not even registering, but it got my old bones wondering who would be on my list nowadays. I think I've settled on all the Avengers Chris's - Evans, Pratt and Hemsworth, Aidan Turner and, erm, maybe Lee Mack. Yeah, I know the last one is bit left field.

Anyone fancy joining me in a Friday evening load of silly nonsense? Who's on your list?

There are some
Very questionable choices on here.

But I forgot about Ian Somerhalder - but only as Damon. In real life he's a super irritating vegan hippy

Also Scott Eastwood, Clint's son. Man is he hot
