Weird crushes that your mother has?

[Frownette]

I'm starting to lose track now. So it was someone from eastenders, Paul Gascoigne, and her latest one is London mayor.

I think she feels vaguely affectionate towards Boris as well.

Shall I just give her more chocolate and say where the corner is...?

Arsene Wenger

She's not a football fan but since retiring (years ago), she'll happily watch with my Dad.

My secondary school science teacher

My mum loved Donald O'Connor - the one who isn't Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain. And Robert Donat, who was in Goodbye Mr Chips. Think it was because she liked calling him Robert Doughnut really.

Kevin Bacon, but only his hands, and Jon Bon Jovi (all of him as far as I'm aware)

My mother fancies Richard Branson

Mother in law's pin-ups are Martin Clunes, David Walliams and Gareth Malone

Kris Kristofferson is my mum's dream man. She also quite fancied Bradley Cooper in a Star is Born but was disappointed with him when she saw his usual looks.

@Awrite
DP's late auntie had a thing about Arsene Wenger too. She was was the spitting image of him. She refused to say his name because the word arse was in there and would just point at the screen and say 'there's my boy'. She didn't follow football, but lived with DP's parents, where it was on all the time.

My dm is 85 and loves Brian Cox, my dd is 28 and has met, through work, Brian Cox. My dm is a bit jealous.

My mother is 62 and is obsessed and I mean obsessed in the fact that she has posters and pictures of them all over her house, dolls, household items with them on and constantly watches them and listens to them... with BTS the Korean boy band. The one that teenage girls like 😑 it's actually caused ructions between us as I find it so strange. She lives with my dsis who is 26 and just as bad so they just encourage eachother 😬

Too many to mention 😂

But I think a younger Adam ant and Marc Bolan would be her top picks
And maybe Alan rickman

Coffee, is it Brian Cox the actor? I can definitely see his appeal in a beardy older man way and he seems like a seriously good egg. If its Professor Brian Cox, then hes a good looking bloke but ZERO appeal for me. Not that she cares either way I'm sure

Another Kris Kristofferson here, she's 78.
Her one true love will always be Tony Curtis and Elvis.
Her younger man crush is Jake Gyllenhaal though I doubt my mum has ever seen him in anything so I don't know where that comes from.
Mark Harmon from NCIS is another one but I also fancied him in St Elsewhere.

Mum (58) - Donny Osmond

Me (36) - dishy rishi, Robert Downey jr, Noel fielding. I have some weird tastes.

Not my DM (although she loves Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson) but my late Nan loved Jose Mourhino(so?). She was 90 when she told me this and said he looked like a smouldering 40a movie star!

Paul McCartney and Colin Firth

@Livpool I totally agree with her!! He's such a handsome man!

My lovely 72 year old mum has a thing for Jeff Goldblum...I'm ok with that

Oh I forgot my DNan had a crush on the rugby player Martin offiah!

The only crush I'm ever aware my DMum had (she's in her 90s) isn't weird - it was Laurence Olivier , because of his voice

My 82 year old mother has a crush on Paddy McGuiness and watches everything he's in

My late mother had a penchant for Tennis players. Henri Leconte and Andre Agassi were top of the list.

Alan Titchmarsh

@Lottapianos the physicist. My dm loves science. In a better family she would have gone to university.

My mum has a crush on Jose Mourhino. She loves the fact that he is confident and ‘sexy’
She also loves Ashley Banjo of Diversity fame she describes him as the ‘epitome’ of what a gentlemen should be
She was furious when he was being criticised for that BLM routine

My late mum had a real thing for James Hetfield from Metallica. It was the most unexpected crush ever tbh
