It's come sooner than I expected.

I'm only 37.

38 here.

Mine is Jack Nicholson.

I guess it comes to us all.

xTinkerhellx · 19/08/2020 19:19

Pfft.

I'm 33 and he's been my old man crush for years!

GameofChess · 19/08/2020 19:20

Yeah that is bad. You’re talking about him at his peak, obviously? He’s about 95 now I think.
Just keep thinking about the accent and the fact that he used to be a milkman, to turn off the, ahem, attraction. Or does that not help? The milkman thing I mean?

GameofChess · 19/08/2020 19:21

Gregory Peck. Wink now there’s a man.

Ha. I've fancies him since I was 16! Not so much now... I'm. 36 lol

MrsSpookyM · 19/08/2020 19:24

You know you're hitting middle age when you start fancying the old man villain/dad characters in films. Rather than the strapping young heroes.

any man who can dash about a film wearing a baby blue terry towelling short leg onesie and not be ridiculed world wide has to have sex appeal.

bellinisurge · 19/08/2020 19:29

Gregory Peck too!
James Stewart too

peakygal · 19/08/2020 19:33

Im 34 and have been crushing on him many years and Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Sting 😂

Watching Friends the first time round I thought Tom Selleck was so old. Now I’m 35 I think he’s so much more handsome and mature than Chandler that it makes me mad that Monica didn’t choose him!

"Just keep thinking about the accent and the fact that he used to be a milkman, to turn off the, ahem, attraction. Or does that not help? The milkman thing I mean?"

I'd have thought his comments on domestic violence would!

Mammyloveswine · 19/08/2020 21:03

33 and Clint Eastwood

@MrsSpookyM

I'm only 37.

Oh wow, you fancy a pensioner! He's 90 next Tuesday, perhaps you could buy him a gift? Grin
Bluntness100 · 19/08/2020 21:30

Ooh I’ve always fancied him. And Tom selleck. With the moustache. Not so much without,,am fussy like that. Can’t believe Monica chose chandler. I mean you wouldn’t would you...🤣

Gatekeeper · 19/08/2020 21:32

He's known as Seen Canary in our house

I used to watch Midsomer Murders and I had a crush on Jason Hughes back in the early 2000's when I was around 30. I just watched a rerun and thought that John Nettles is looking very good to me now that I'm 50.

To be fair, I have always thought Robert Lindsay, Nigel Havers and Bryan Ferry we're totally hot when I was in my 20's and they still all catch my attention now.

DramaAlpaca · 19/08/2020 21:48

I'm in my 50s and I still don't fancy Sean Connery. My 84 year old mum does, though Grin

Hepcat75 · 19/08/2020 21:53

God, I hope never to reach that age. Tax-dodging misogynist and one-note actor. Sexy.
Honor Blackman had the measure of him.

JustanotherTuesday · 19/08/2020 21:53

I realised I was getting old, when watching tennis matches on tv, I would be thinking some of the umpires or coaches looked nice instead of the fit young players who are young enough to be my sons Grin

majesticallyawkward · 19/08/2020 22:08

Ooo @Bluntness100 Tom Selleck, now there's a man. I've loved him since three men and a baby.

Also Tom Hanks, not so much when he was young but my goodness he's aged beautifully!

I've e always had a weird attraction to the older gentleman though, from the age of 13-17 William Petersen was up there for me. That was early CSI days.

Whyarewefruit · 19/08/2020 22:13

SeanConnery is a violent misogynist.

Patrick Stewart now, for example, is an extremely fine thing.

Graphista · 19/08/2020 22:13

Mention of 3 men and a baby reminds me of Steve Gutenberg I had a massive crush on him back in the day and then he just sort of disappeared

SauvignonExtraChilled · 19/08/2020 22:18

If you're wanting a jolt out of this OP, he did say very publicly that he didn't see anything wrong with giving a woman a slap....if they needed one.

You're welcome.

kingdomcapers · 19/08/2020 22:21

I stood behind him in a queue when I was still at school and his neck was all lines like crepe paper (& like my Grandad's) and that was 30 years ago. He must be about fossilised by now.
