Never have I ever fancied this person, but this particular appearance gives me the fanny gallops

Paul McCartney. I've never ever had even a flutter, in fact he's the opposite of what I find attractive, but cripes in this video he really gives me the gallops, particularly at 39 seconds.

What are your never have I evers?

Agree with @georgarina

"Andrew Scott is only hot as the Hot Priest"

Also Colin Firth- wet shirt yes, but when he is standing at the piano listening to Lizzie play, and and gives her that" I want you NOW " look- it makes yer knickers fall off!

tartantroosers · 22/02/2022 06:10

Oh, also Tom Hardy but only in Taboo.
Tom Hollander but only in Rev
Alex Higgins (weird, I know) but only at the table not off it
John Duttine but only in To Serve Them All My Days.
Last two obv childhood crushes - I'm not 94.

@PermanentTemporary

Ooh. Yes to Russell Crowe but for me only in Proof of Life and nothing else. Perhaps helps that I admire any man who is having to put up with Meg Ryan.
Abso-bloody-lutely! Never fancied him before or since, and although he looked (reaaally) good in Gladiator, his character in Proof of Life did it for me way more!
NinaDefoe · 22/02/2022 07:00

I’m going for Russell Crowe but ONLY in
‘A Good Year’

Are you on a double dose of HRT by any chance?

@StargazerAli

Paul Bettany - in any role!
There's NOTHING weird about this. Loved him since A Knight's Tale.

@DickMabutt73962

Cillian Murphy looks like a ventriloquist's dummy IMO.

Omg you've nailed it! And now I can't unsee it

Sorry... Grin

I know what you mean about Alex Higgins (I watched Gods of Snooker fairly recently). The flamboyant talent and the palpable vulnerability...

A PP mentioned the Traveling Wilburys upthread so I just watched the end of the line video. Tom Petty Blush

Billy Bob Thornton but only as Bad Santa

CarrieBradshaw1 · 22/02/2022 09:50

Absolutely love this thread!!

I've definitely found my people as I was very disturbed to find myself fancying young Macca! If you haven't watched Get Back I don't blame you for being sceptical but - holy shit! - he is very fit in it. It's the beard I think.

All you lot lusting over Sean Bean did you ever watch Lady Chatterley's Lover?? He was so hot in that 🥵

CarrieBradshaw1 · 22/02/2022 09:58

Can I throw out a random one...

David Morrissey in that drama where he met Sheridan Smith on a train and they started an affair...

BuddhaForMary · 22/02/2022 10:48

Tom Hardy in This Means War and nothing else.

Jude Law in The Holiday and nothing else.

Adam Sandler but only in Wedding Singer.

Tam20779 · 22/02/2022 10:53

Robert Downey Jr but only as Tony Stark/IronMan. I think it’s the facial hair…🤔

Men get better as they get older - Robert Carlyle for example.

beguilingeyes · 22/02/2022 11:15

Oh god yes, Alex Higgins. Just the sheer genius of his play. I was so upset when he died. What a waste.
John Duttine in TSTAMD too. David Powlett Jones. The most convincing Welsh accent ever.
David Morrissey in the thing with Anna Maxwell Martin (South Riding?).
While the rest of the world was drooling over Robin Ellis in the original Poldark, for me it was Clive Francis as Francis. It's the vulnerable thing again. Kevin McNally was lush in it too.

CarrieBradshaw1 · 22/02/2022 11:26

@ChickenStripper

Agreed. I saw an interview with Steve Carrell recently and his grey hair & glasses activated something inside 😂
