lighthearted

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

I have a massive crush on Tench from Mindhunter the Netflix serial killer series. Also get the massive hots for Ian McShane as Lovejoy.BlushGrin

poppym12 · 08/07/2020 13:54

Judge Rinder. Yes, I know but still.....
James Martin
Richard Rawlings, the guy who owns Gas Monkey Garage
Julian Clary
Adam Lambert

I think I should reassess my crushes Blush

Really? I thought I would be the only one!! I think mainly I like the way he is so kind and courteous to his wife, he has an attractive personality which makes him attractive in general.

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 14:06

[quote DrCoconut]I have a new one at the moment

Good looking guy, looks like one of my friends.

Not weird at all.

@PuppyMonkey Not weird. If you fancied Ian McShane in the 80s and 90s half the women in the country would be with you.

@poppym12
James Martin? Do you know how many fans he has, me included? Not remotely weird!
But you seem to have a thing for gay men, which is a bit weird. Smile

@ScribblingMilly

Lee Mack.
Not weird at all, he's a good looking guy. But I wouldn't like the sarcasm.

Is Michael Macintyre weird?

LuluJakey1 · 08/07/2020 14:13

David Mitchell but I can't imagine sex with him- just tea and cakes and good company.

PaperMonster · 08/07/2020 14:36

@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...

Yes, Ian Hislop!!
ScribblingMilly · 08/07/2020 14:36

Sucking, it's the sarcasm (and quick wit) that appeals, can't resist it. Is he good looking then? That was always the way for me, thinking I was going for the hidden gem & finding myself at the back of a queue.

Michael Macintyre I can only see as a fun brother-in-law.

@ScribblingMilly

Fair enough, crack on. Grin

Rory Stewart
Will from The Repair Shop

treenu · 08/07/2020 15:14

Definitely Brendan Gleeson - but not as Mad-Eye Moody surprisingly.

GertrudeCB · 08/07/2020 15:21

Came on to say Peter Capaldi - late to the party as always < gets coat >

SkylinesTurnstiles · 08/07/2020 15:45

David Mitchell... all he makes me think of is him as Mark in Peep Show and how cringey he is 😂

Speaking of Peep Show...Matt King who plays Super Hans is pretty good looking.

Though I have to say top of my list if Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. He is just a beautiful man! Not many agree though which I think is strange!

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 16:41

Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance
Yep, weird. Smile

@PaperMonster
Ian Hislop? Also weird, unless Bronski Beat in a suit is your thing.

@treenu I can kind of see that. Older, guy-in-charge kind of thing, similar to Dick Strawbridge. Is he good with his hands?

@LuluJakey1 Weird on the grounds that he doesn't have a personality. The dreadful 11 O'clock show thing that he did back in the noughties showed him up as a dull student leftie.

Jay raynor the food critic...

Heytheredelilah99 · 08/07/2020 17:51

Greg Davies, the comedian

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 18:02

@Heytheredelilah99

Greg Davies, the comedian
Oh yes! Not weird at all though.

Jay Rayner qualifies as weird. With that amount of hair, moustache and beard I'd be worried about stray food particles.

ThatDamnScientist · 08/07/2020 18:08

@BadgeronaMoped

Phil from Time Team!
Oh god yes 🙈 It his is accent I think Grin

James Denton from the good witch but I don't think he is a weird crush...slightly different from my normal crushes though (The Witcher anyone?! 🤤)

Steve from the Repair Shop

Also Si King and have always had a thing for Ron Perlman since he got old Grin

Bodgedboxdye · 08/07/2020 18:33

Some more

Rob Brydon - I wouldn’t say it’s a crush as such but he’s good looking.
Ricky Gervais
Lee Mack
Joe Wilkinson

Used to crush heavy on James Martin. (I wouldn’t say he’s weird)

1forAll74 · 08/07/2020 18:46

I am very fond of Chris Packham and also Simon Reeve. Wildlife and Travel programmes are much enhanced by these two men.

joyjester · 08/07/2020 18:51

jacob rees-mogg

sorry .....

DanielleandBobby · 08/07/2020 19:04

Jacob Rees_Mogg Shock !!
I have crushes on lots of those mentioned, including in no particular order:

  • Noel Fitzpatrick (accent in particular)
  • Robert Jamison, architect (just gorgeous, and another Irish accent)
  • Richard Ayoade (he just cracks me up)
  • Louis Theroux - although I know he's not weird, he's just faint-worthy beautiful. In my humble opinion Smile

Dream on!

vampirethriller · 08/07/2020 19:20

Oh yes Donald Sutherland. Lovely. And I wasn't going to admit this one but having seen some of the others, I will- Danny Trejo.
