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

@joyjester

jacob rees-mogg

sorry .....

Brilliant! We may have a winner!

@1forAll74 Yep, Packham is weird. He's the only supporter of Extinction Rebellion who isn't a yoga teacher or an anarchist. Chris Reeve is too woke for me but he's a looker. Not weird.

SuckingDieselFella · 08/07/2020 21:13

@SuckingDieselFella Jimmy Nesbitt bad as in a baaaaaad boy your parents you'd approve of or bad as in your best friend would make sure you steer clear?

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 08/07/2020 22:12

Gerard Way is very pretty, but also too young for me.

Si King on the other hand, I had forgotten how sexy he is!

Sproutpie · 08/07/2020 22:22

Julian Norton - the vet
Another vote for Si King
Ali Campbell
Hartley hare - I know!

Mads Mikkelsen. Took me a while to 'get it' but he's very striking.

Oh surely he doesn’t count as weird? He’s absolutely lovely.

David Mitchell for me too, though like a PP said I can’t imagine having sex with him. Yet still I am drawn to him somehow!

I currently have a bit of a thing for Lin-Manuel Miranda but I don’t think that’s too weird.

Daniel Sloss, too.

FenellaVelour · 08/07/2020 22:41

Oh, I don’t think this is weird either but I absolutely adore Domhnall Gleeson, he’s absolutely on my laminated list.

@JustHavinABreak
Steer clear, I'm afraid.

@FenellaVelour All fairly normal.

Your weird crush is.....a hand puppet? Shock

There's definitely something to be said about someone who can laugh you into bed. Jonny Vegas.

Actually Jonny Vegas is married to a beautiful and accomplished woman named Maia Dunphy.

thatdarncat · 08/07/2020 23:24

Russell Brand would get it. Steve Pemberton yum. Peter Capaldi, oh yes.

Yes to Ron Swanson!

@Heytheredelilah99
Dick strawbridge just seems so manly and self sufficient, plus I like his moustache 😬 he would definitely take care of you.

VerityAl · 09/07/2020 05:43

Oh Dear Lord - you all need help and I don't think there are enough therapist to be able to achieve it.

Mark Kermode is the absolute bomb.
Also Freddie Flintoff, Robbie Savage, Jose Mourinho but mostly Kermode I love everything about him but alas he is married to a bloody marvellous woman.

maldivemoment · 09/07/2020 05:43

Tim Minchin. Yes please...

RosieLemonade · 09/07/2020 06:14

God this topic has been done to death.

MooseBeTimeForSummer · 09/07/2020 06:24

Martin Shaw in his days from Judge John Deed.

Jeremy Renner

Heytheredelilah99 · 09/07/2020 08:21

Simon Bird

billysboy · 09/07/2020 08:25

Alex Polizzi and Priti Patel both very beautiful women

Fishfingersandwichplease · 09/07/2020 09:13

Massive crush on Bradley Walsh - actually get really giggly watching The Chase but DH just rolls his eyes out loud!!

Heytheredelilah99 · 09/07/2020 10:06

The Liverpool manager. Hes nice. I use to fancy the players, now I'm old(older)I like the managers!!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/07/2020 10:14

Tim Minchin in Jesus Christ Superstar yes!

MsJuniper · 09/07/2020 10:16

Charlie Chaplin (not in costume)

Douglas Henshall

Less weird but unusual for me: Harry Styles

SuckingDieselFella · 09/07/2020 12:57

@maldivemoment
I like Tim Minchin when he's wearing make-up. Is that weird?

@VerityAl Kermode, not so weird. He's very clever.

@billysboy Totally get Alex Polizzi. Always have a look at her programmes to see what she's wearing.

@Heytheredelilah99 Klopp isn't weird. Not a looker but he has loads of personality and money.

I have a friend who gets turned on by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall when he's butchering animals. Now that's weird.
