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?

Another man who wasn't my cup of tea AT ALL until he got older - Jeff Goldblum. He's seriously sexy now he's an older guy Blush

I didn't think I'd ever find Matt Smith sexy, until I saw him in the crown.

Now he's set to play the rogue prince, in house of the dragon, and having read fire and blood, I just know I'm going to fancy him in this role like mad.

I also have a thing for mature/powerful bad boys, and wolfish grins (and that's why I've been single for years Grin).

I have a huge Jason Mamoa issue, I cannot watch anything he is in because I fancy him to bits, the issue is that my son-in-law is the spiting image of JM but younger, fitter and with better hair Blush see, it's an issue Grin

SoItWas · 22/02/2022 12:17

And yes to earlier comments, about men who look like they'd be filthy in bed.

I wouldn't normally find Sam Rockwell sexy, but in this scene...

BuddhaForMary · 22/02/2022 12:22

Jake Gyllenhaal but only in Prince of Persia.

Prince of Persia in the game too if I'm being completely honest, the guys voice for the sands of time trilogy was just mmmm Blush

BadHairDayExpert · 22/02/2022 12:26

hells, yeah to Sam! Wink

(original has different music but I like just my type)

BadHairDayExpert · 22/02/2022 12:29

and Jeff
(Love me the dancing Jeffs above - satisfyingly stompy and hot)

@curiouslypacific

Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt in ashes to ashes. Nothing about the character should be attractive, yet I still 100% would.
Oh snap!!
BadHairDayExpert · 22/02/2022 12:34
I like men who can dance obviously
The2Omicronnies · 22/02/2022 12:42

Johnny Lee Miller as Sickboy in Trainspotting. I have no idea why I find a selfish heroin addict do attractive, but there we have it.

OhWhyNot · 22/02/2022 12:45

Adam Ant in Stand and Deliver video

Russel Crowe in Gladiator

Dopechef · 22/02/2022 12:49

Oh my gosh ,thus threads name my day Wink

BadHairDayExpert · 22/02/2022 12:52

Loved Gene Hunt and all the galex shipping videos
Gutted that he probably died a virgin irl as a rookie, hence the bravado

BadHairDayExpert · 22/02/2022 12:56

Am also loving Javier Bardem as Desi

thebabessavedme · 22/02/2022 13:01

Oh yes to Gene Hunt, anytime, anywhere

StrawberrySanta · 22/02/2022 13:01

@hangrylady

Also David Jason as Del BoyBlush
OMG this is the worst one anyone's said 😂
TommyShelby · 22/02/2022 13:40

I also second whoever said Matt Smith as PP!

Here’s one that I’ve just thought of. James Caan as himself? No. Wouldn’t let him within a 25 foot radius of me. Sonny Corleone in the Godfather however? Yes please!

AuxArmesCitoyens · 22/02/2022 14:05

I can get on board with the younger Delboy.

the80sweregreat · 22/02/2022 14:29

Another vote for Gene Hunt and the John Sim character too.
Best drama ever.
Mind you , I have always fancied Jeremy Clarkson .. he wasn't bad when he was younger. I'll get my coat now.

CarrieBradshaw1 · 22/02/2022 15:00

I agree with the girl crushes of Gillian Anderson in The Fall and Phoebe Waller Bridge in Fleabag.

Amazed no one has mentioned Villanelle from Killing Eve though! 🥵

You're not alone on that one, I actually prefer the older farmer version Blush I'm not sure if I just want a rich older man to look after me or if it's because fantasy men tend to be the direct opposite of what you have..!
the80sweregreat · 22/02/2022 15:25

Clarkson , he is everything I usually hate in a man , but there is just something about him ? Not sure what it is though.. ( I know mumsnetters are not keen , but I can see why that is to be fair!)
Villanelle , I'm not attracted to women at all , but she has sex appeal in spades and so vulnerable ( even after she's killed someone )
She has the X factor.

Agree about Villanelle, but Gillian Anderson is fucking gorgeous in everything. Especially Bleak House.
Campfirewood · 22/02/2022 17:04

@CarrieBradshaw1 I agree on Steve carrell getting better with age! I definitely would now!

Dullardmullard · 22/02/2022 17:04

Ken Stott in takin over the asylum and Rebus.
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow but only him as that

Alex Kingston as River Song it was the way she says “Hello Sweetie” I just well dribbled

David Duchovny but only as Mulder and only in the early years he’s ruined his looks with surgery, drugs etc now and nope

Gillian Anderson again only as Dana Scully in the early years.

I was most pissed of with the movie though as they should never ever be a romance between them hence going off it later on.
