I've hit an age where I fancy Sean Connery

It's come sooner than I expected.

I'm only 37.

It definitely comes to us all.

As an aside, I rewatched Buffy recently (I know!) and I have had obscene fantasies about Giles. Pfft to Angel and Spike.

@Whyarewefruit

SeanConnery is a violent misogynist.

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

Completely agree!

Dh and I recently binge-watched "Elementary", you know, the American Sherlock Holmes remake.

I found that Jonny Lee Miller was far to young for me but had quite the crush on Aidan Quinn, being the police captain, getting things done.

Sean Connery, just nooooo. He thinks women need a good slap. There's footage out there of him saying this.

Now Tommy Lee Jones. That's another matter altogether Grin

mrwalkensir · 19/08/2020 23:21

urgh to any of those, but Walken in the Deerhunter getting his top off...

Purpleice · 19/08/2020 23:23

I met Anthony Head (Giles in Buffy) at a Comic-Con once and can confirm he is a very lovely person.

GooodMythicalMorning · 20/08/2020 00:23

I came to say Patrick Stewart too. I'll always love him a little bit. Tom Selleck is very handsome too. liked him since 3 men and a baby as well.

LaurieFairyCake · 20/08/2020 00:33

Yes to Patrick Stewart/Tommy Lee Jones/Kurt Russell/Gabriel Byrne/Bill Pullman/Jeff Goldblum and his massive knob (I was going to say allegedly but it's been confirmed by so many I'm sure it's true) Grin

But Seen Canary is too old for me now (though I'd have shagged him in the Rock)

I'd walk over corpses to get to Steve Carell though - luffs him

Here’s his quotes on hitting women.

“An open-handed slap is justified – if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning. If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I'd do it.“
Playboy magazine, 1965

“There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.“
Interview with Barbara Walters, December 1987.

That would be enough to put me off. But there are plenty of other fanciable older actors out there OP.

When The West Wing was first on I thought Rob Lowe was the cutest thing on my screen. I rewatched the series a few months ago and now I think Toby is incredibly sexy.

sweetieno · 20/08/2020 03:23

Well just watch the film Zardoz, and that will sort you right out.

And here he is in a wedding dress in the same film.

He looks too much like my dad...

ragged · 20/08/2020 09:04

I'm in my 50s & still hankering after pretty toyboys under 30yo. Suppose I had better keep this fact quiet.

I just tried to find any of these guys fanciable... only Blair Underwood is rocking my boat. Michael Jordan has potential, too, but rest, meh. Horrible mustache on Pitt.
Liam Nielhsen is all wrinkles (I don't care if I'm all wrinkles, too).
Patrick Stewart is adorable, granted.

I'm just depressed that I've hit the age where I can now uniformly expect that all the famous men I fancied are married.

I mean, it was never going to happen, but now it's NEVER going to happen. Totally ruins the daydreaming if you have to mentally kill off a wife too.

Isabeau1980 · 20/08/2020 11:10

@GameofChess Sean Connery turns 90 next Tuesday (25 August)

Mimishimi · 20/08/2020 11:36

I've always fancied Sean Connery

SapphireSeptember · 20/08/2020 11:48

Alan Rickman was my older gentleman crush, Jason Isaacs isn't too bad either. Wink

SchmooobyDoo · 20/08/2020 11:55

Seen Canary in our house too!

Donald Sutherland for me... Always has been.

Windyjuly · 20/08/2020 12:41

😂😂Baby blue Terry toweling oneise🤣🤣🤣

Love 😍 love sean connery in Marnie.

Jack Nicholson, beautiful when younger. All these older actors seemed to express so much via the eyes... Smile with their eyes... Al pacinos eyes!

In comparison, Daniel Craig's eyes are dead and cold...

SinisterBumFacedCat · 20/08/2020 13:26

Ah but Daniel Craig plays Bond like he’s a psychopath, which he is! I’m sure IRL he’s lovely.
