Who do you hate yourself for fancying?

I am listening to the various covers of Time after Time (after watching hearing it on an advert), and found a Ronan Keating version.

I remember being so disappointed in him having an affair with a backing dancer back in the day, and though so much less of him because of it.

Listening to his version of Time after Time just fluttered something in my stomach awakening an old crush I had in my teenage years. He was beautiful and I loved his voice (but he did a fucking selfish thing which pissed me off massively at the time).

Jeremy Clarkson.

There, I've said it. Blush

Hot young Stalin. That’s a bad one.

TheMarzipanDildo · 17/11/2021 11:46

I would like to note that I very much distinguish in my mind between Stalin-in-the-picture and Stalin the evil dictator.

Gabriel Byrne.

Started when I was in my teens after watching Stigmata where he plays the moody priest.

Still a good looking fucker now even though he must be pushing the elderly line.

@Lanaa

The fox from the animated Robin Hood.
And also this. I’m not a furry!

@xxyzz

Ew. You are all weird (especially the Matt Hancock and George Osborne fanciers - how could you??).

Apart from the George Harrison fancier, who is just normal, as he was seriously hot back in the day.

Yes, George Harrison is very far from a weird crush!

Ed Balls
Michael Ball.

@ReginaaPhalange Ricardo's smile has enough wattage to keep a small country going.
He is very hard to dislike.

ReginaaPhalange · 17/11/2021 11:58

@verymiddleaged I just love him lol! Just want to wrap him up in bubble wrap and protect him at all costs lol!

MapleMay11 · 17/11/2021 11:59

@MintMe

Ed Balls.
Oh yes, definitely Ed.
Megan1992xx · 17/11/2021 12:04

Megan Fox I know as a happily married woman I shouldn't but that just makes it worse!

MapleMay11 · 17/11/2021 12:06

@ReginaaPhalange

Also The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye 🥵🥵🥵 his songs are mostly about drugs and sex but oh man, sing to me allll night long baby!!
Yes - especially in the Blinding Lights video. I used to hope I'd magically bump into him on work trips to the US.
HotMess21 · 17/11/2021 12:08

Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode. Particularly in the "I Feel You" video.😈

ReginaaPhalange · 17/11/2021 12:12

@MapleMay11 yes, his whole 'look' for the after hours album with the Afro and red suit! Oh man!!!

I'd love to bump into him Wink

I saw his 'star boy, legend of the fall' tour in 2017, I think I just sat there drooling. Wasn't close enough sadly 🥺🥺

TrampolineForMrKite · 17/11/2021 12:14

Gregg Wallace. It is my greatest shame.

millenialblush · 17/11/2021 12:14

Jude Law? That's not remotely weird.

Lawrence Fox on the other hand...Blush

ReginaaPhalange · 17/11/2021 12:21

What about Toto Wolff? The Mercedes team principal in F1? I'm just sitting here googling loads of folk now haha! But still wiping away the tears about the hitler crush and climaxing at his speech! 🤣

Gabriel Byrne.

Oh my God, I thought I was alone!!! We must be a similar age, because Stigmata with him dressed as a Priest really did something to me when I was about 15. Also HUGELY fancied him in Little Women as Prof. Bhaer.

I don’t think this is a shameful one though, he’s very good looking even as an old man.

@ReginaaPhalange I haven't seen him but will definitely be getting tickets when he reschedules his UK tour. Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 17/11/2021 12:27

@MapleMay11 me too! Backstage passes would be nice haha! I can dream! Wonder if he will wear the red suit!

CormoranStrike · 17/11/2021 12:28

@MintMe

Ed Balls.
See, I don’t think that’s shameful at all!
furbabymama87 · 17/11/2021 12:31

I'm ashamed of how intense my George Harrison crush is. DH says I start fast breathing and biting my lip when I watch clips of him in a hard days night. I don't even notice lol.

@SomewhereEast

Rishi Sunak. I am very much not a Tory, but damnit, he is delish.
Isnt he justBlush
ReginaaPhalange · 17/11/2021 12:34

My ex boyfriends mum was (and probably still is) obsessed with Robbie Williams! This was a woman in her 50s squealing and jumping up and down on the spot if she ever saw him on the tv. I thought it was absolutely hilarious and her husband would just shove his glasses up his nose and roll his eyes whilst saying "calm yourself woman for gods sake" 🤣🤣

notanotherbloodyusername1000 · 17/11/2021 12:35

Raab - damn it! Can't put my finger on it but there is SOMETHING about him that gives me butterflies and stupid teenage giggling smiles 🥵❤️ #butimnevergoingtoadmitit

Armie Hammer - there was nothing wrong with it obv until all the nasty news broke. But still... he is Armie ❤️🥺
