As in, not an obvious choice.

Mine is Reece Shearsmith from League of Gentlemen, specifically as Benjamin and particularly as Ross. There's something about the glasses and the bossiness/ air of authority Blush he has a really cute smile too.

Bob Mortimer, and he’s the same age as my Nan which makes it even worse Blush

@JoanneCofton

Same here, in fact my DD asked has anyone mentioned Steve Buscemi yet.

On YouTube look him up with Vampire Weekend (the band) it's very funny.

absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. I had a bit of a crush on Snr as well! Handsome bugger he was.

Omg Dylan Moran definitely.

Mark Ruffalo definitely but not weird. At all.

Another vote for Mark Harmon - he’s a total hunk ... and Dominic Cummings 🤷‍♀️

SinisterBumFacedCat · 10/02/2021 01:11

Ben Willbond for me. Not unusual but I do feel a bit guilty about it because DS loves Horrible Histories.

Also Q from Impractical Jokers.

And 1960s Michael Palin.

Rubybluesy · 10/02/2021 01:29

Richard Osman...

TechnoDino · 10/02/2021 09:22

Another vote for Dr James Fox..
And I’ve thought of another, Giles Coren, weasely but looks like he’d be pure filth!

Tana433 · 10/02/2021 09:54

@TechnoDino I feel like that about Laurence Fox. What a complete and utter plank but my God i still definitely would in a heartbeat!!

Apologies if this is a bit of a long answer...

Although I put down Mark Harmon from NCIS earlier I'm also going to put down Rimmer from Red Dwarf.

I joined a grad scheme out of uni many moons ago & one of the fellow grads was a bit of a prat/know it all & everyone used to call him Rimmer.
I'd never watched Red Dwarf so had no idea of the character on the show & the actor's looks.
There was some mega chemistry between us despite me thinking the Rimmer-grad was a prat & we ended up having a rip-roaring affair for 6 months. We were both single when it started & it was exclusive. Nobody at work knew as it would've been frowned upon which made even more fun.

It ended as we were both career minded & we both moved elsewhere. It was never going to be a long term relationship.. It was just a meeting of pheromones really with lots of laughter & genitals thrown in as well. Not a hard break up & I have fond memories of that time.

Now if I do watch Red Dwarf, there's a bit of a tingle when I see Rimmer - not so much lusting after the actor but I get transported back my early 20s & still think with a smile 'damn that was a good time'.

I can also see how people get caught up in work affairs - I've never done it again despite it being offered to me on a plate (by married menAngry). Maybe if it was a single man I might but I don't think it would ever hit the heights of my Rimmer-grad!

Thanks for readingSmile- I'm smiling againWink
