Weird crushes - not Hancock/Whitty/Raab

Do you have a weird crush which isn't covid 19 related?

In no particular order, mine are:
James May
Mark Owen off Take That
Lawrence Fox
Neil Oliver
The guy on the Microsoft Teams ad who works for the Met Police

@merryhouse

Ed Balls Ian Hislop

Does Kenneth Williams count as weird? It's been a defining part of me for so long I consider it perfectly normal...

Kenneth Williams definitely counts as weird

Richard Ayoade.

@Cherrybakewellard

I always fancied a bit of Peter Stringfellow. Hugh Hefner sent me a Pm on Twitter once. I quite liked him too.

Nothing like a p o r n baron to get a girl's pulse racing.

Oh and Jimmy Nail.

Ian Hislop
Julian Rhind-Tutt

Good grief. I need a bath after reading this thread.

@LuluJakey1

All of these are weird apart from Adrian Chiles.

He is not a looker in any sense of the word. Loses all his jobs. Horrible accent. Drinks gallons. Is a confessed moody, anxious, depressive. Dreadful dress sense. Football mad.

I can't imagine what I find attractive. I do think it's a 'I could help' thing. A saving thing.

He's intelligent and funny.

If he hadn't followed Christine to ITV with his tongue hanging out he could be Gary Lineker. And he'd be better at it than the crisp muncher too.

Kier Starmer! What a dish!

@Lumisade

Richard Ayoade.

Lawrence Fox's brother in law.

I kind of get it but he's very very clever. You don't want him going on about literary theory when the bins need taking out.

The gorilla from the Cadbury’s advert a few years ago.

@ILoveJoeBrown

Kier Starmer! What a dish!

You don't think he would be a bit dry and overcooked?

Johnny Mercer on the other hand...

Mister Maker.

We have a winner.

Even more reason to NOT find him attractive. Intelligent men who follow beautiful women, drooling after them, at cost to their marriage and career are not to be admired. His Guardian column is dreadful- lazy.

Yep.

But you could save him. Therein lies the attraction.

He's a challenging project, like a new extension.

I may sound horribly naive, but I believe Michael Ball is a ladies man. Ahem. He's lived with a Cathy McGowan for ages. He is weirdly cute.
Mine: Martin Clunes.

And Lulu , I'm getting where you're coming from with Adrian Chiles. I used to live in that neck of the woods so could make him faggots and paze whenever. 🤢.

That might sort him out - whatever paze is!

I tell you who I've always fancied, but you lot can be the judge of whether it's weird.

Harold Steptoe.

Jeremy Clarkson.
Bad hair, massive belly, terrible teeth, appalling attitude. But wierdly, I still would.

@NotVera But he so needs a wash!

Harold Steptoe.

WHETHER it's weird?

You actually need to ask?

@Ceebeegee I like Captain Slow but I get it. Your worst problem isn't the gut and teeth, its the womanising.

Mads Mikkelsen. Took me a while to 'get it' but he's very striking.
Peter Capaldi, although I don't think that's odd...others often seem to!

I can see the attraction with Ed Balls too

John Nettles is my guilty crush alongside Jeff Stelling

Peter Capaldi 100%!
