Who is your unusual celeb crush?

[Bluewavescrashing]

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 he has a really cute smile too.

Missed the nit obvious choice bit.

Alan Rickman (RIP) I had a major crush on him especially as Snape 😆

Henrik Hanssen (Guy Henry) in Holly City. He’s like a sexy praying mantis.

Sal from impractical jokers.
Greg Davies
Colin Firth
Peter Serafinowicz
Jeff Goldblum
Dara O'Brien
Stellan Skarsgård
Steve Carrell (the recent beard and glasses version)
Stanley Tucci
Denzel Washington
Tom Hanks

I'm mid twenties with some clear issues

Yes to Sal and Peter Serafinowicz!

Thierry Goddard (Gillou). I suspect there might be a queue though. He's short, stocky, not conventionally handsome but, oh my.

Have you fellow Gilou-fanciers watched Les Dames ? It's on All 4, called Dead Beautiful, and has M Godard as the main character.

I am so pleased to see I am not alone in my Rimmer-crush (I love @Jocasta2018's story) - I am usually happy to admit to all my weird crushes but not that one as it is so hard to explain - the character is so awful, and yet I really like him!

Yes, O liked Dead Beautiful. He plays a more sorted version of Gillou, I think. He's on a war-tohe set French series, the Village with "Josrphine' but I don't know where to watch it

Well i have one so weird it’s the character I’d be lynched.

Spill Holothane... it can't be any worse then my Rhys Ifans, especially as the undertaker in the Oasis video!
Its not Boris is it???

Dick Strawbridge
Jeff Goldbloom
Emmanuel Macron
Justin Trudeau
Dave Ghan
Dave Grohl
Boris Becker

@Notenoughsleeplastnight

T Bag from Prison Break 😳

IKWYM. He is weirdly compelling.

@AliceMcK

Chris Hemsworth mmmmmm

I'm not sure he counts as unusual

Mine is Jimmy Pop the lead singer of The Bloodhound Gang. I've no idea why

Another vote for Jürgen Klopp!
Jose Mourinho
Robin Swann, this one is quite strong at the minute (all those Northern Irish Covid updates!)
Very unusual one for me recently is Claudia Winkleman (only usually attracted to men so not sure what is going on lol).

Really unusual one for me is Robin the Caveman in Ghosts

Although I am very partial to Laurence Rickard who plays him

But there's something about a blue eyed, hairy, cheeky boy with good legs. Mmmmmmm

Jelly cat 🤮 at the thought oh god know, he reminds me of ex, you’ll never guess it.

Douglas Hodge, especially when he's being a bit decadent and bewildered.

Ben Willbond was mentioned upthread- have a major crush on him but he definitely comes in the mainstream category!

Love Larry Lamb as Mick in Gavin and Stacey. Kind, capable and unflappable but still quite a twinkle.

You lot with your Colin Firths, and your Justin Trudeaus, and your Dave Grohls, and your Denzel Washingtons, and your Paul Rudds. None of these are unusual! If you admitted to a thing for Dame Edna, or Ken Dodd I’d grant you. Or even (as with me) a Pete Townshend who is not conventionally handsome but in his 20’s and early 30’s I think was gorgeous.

Nick Ferrari

I definitely agree with PPs about Michel Roux Jr and Jurgen Kopp.

I had a bit of a crush on Mark Carney, the previous governor of the Bank of England.

@Bekilted yes to Sal!

Also, Monty Don. Possibly not that unusual. Except I was mid twenties when that crush developed...

Oh yes,Mark Carney. Do well turned -out😄

H from STEPS
Chris Jarvis from CBeebies

Charlie Brooker.

Also came here to say Reece Shearsmith! I always wish that there were more TV series or films with him in.

Alan Rickman too. And Jeremy Brett.

I would also happilly take David Mitchell and Victoria Coren Mitchell to bed. Not at the same time though. That would be wrong!
