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?

Andrew Scott is only hot as the Hot Priest

romany4 · 20/02/2022 14:22

Christopher Eccleston but only as the DR.
Eric Cantona but only as a farmer!

MinnieMountain · 20/02/2022 14:23

Dominic West in The Wire.

Does Alexander Skarsgard only when he’s not smiling count.

Definitely Blackadder II.

I need to watch Parade’s End now.

romany4 · 20/02/2022 14:24

Also agree with Phil Glenister as Gene Hunt. I'd shag him senseless

Lottapianos · 20/02/2022 14:24

'Benedict Cumberbatch in Parade's End'

Oh my GOD, yes! But also in absolutely everything else Grin

Paul McCartney in Get Back was absolute peak McCartney. He has never looked or sounded better. Epic beard appeal 🥰

Lollypop701 · 20/02/2022 14:25

Orlando bloom is only attractive as an 🧝‍♂️ elf…. Not attractive naked body boarding 🤮

CounsellorTroi · 20/02/2022 14:25

Watched The Power of the Dog last night and fancied Benedict Cumberbatch. I’ve never remotely fancied him in anything else.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/02/2022 14:25

@Thewindwhispers

Cary Grant in A Princess Bride.

Russel Crowe in Gladiator. Does nothing for me in other movies but my god it works in Gladiator.

I love Cary Grant in anything but I'm not sure he would have been well cast in The Princess Bride. Grin

Cary Elwes, on the other hand ...

Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt in ashes to ashes. Nothing about the character should be attractive, yet I still 100% would.
Yes, definitely (must watch this series again).

Neil Morrisey as Rocky in Boon. All dressed in leathers. Set my teenage heart a flutter.

Fairislefandango · 20/02/2022 14:28

Yy to Viggo as Aragorn, Cumberbatch as Sherlock.

Paul McCartney does nothing for me whatever era and whatever hairstyle.

Hiddleston - yy in pretty much anything, but especially in The Night Manager. Oof.

romany4 · 20/02/2022 14:29

Neil Morrisey as Rocky in Boon

Yes! I loved him in that

Oh God I worked for the police in the 70s/80s and I worked with so many Gene Hunts. I think it sort of spoiled ashes to ashes for me but it was sort of fascinating as well.
ScottChegg · 20/02/2022 14:29

Similarly to PP (Jason Manford as Hedgehog etc.) I never fancied Robert Webb until I saw him dressed as a woman on that Comic Relief flash dance thing. 🤔

ThePlumVan · 20/02/2022 14:29

The hot priest definitely- nothing else.

And yes to Blackadder - I think it’s the eyeliner.
And Flashard of course 😁

Also quite a few cauliflower-eared rugby players, but only sweaty & covered in mud, no other way.

romany4 · 20/02/2022 14:32

Michael Fassbender in Assassins Creed...something about the beard and outfit....oooft

goodnightgrumble · 20/02/2022 14:34

@Fuckedoffisanunderstatement

Sam Heughan in Outlander does this for me.
Oh yay!!
Velvian · 20/02/2022 14:36

Yes to Andrew Scott as the HP. DH thinks I have a thing for Andrew Scott, no, just the Hot Priest Blush

Bootothegoose · 20/02/2022 14:36

Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes (NOT Life on Mars) makes me want to abandon all my feminist ideals and become his house wife.

Zotter · 20/02/2022 14:37

Exactly same reaction as you OP and especially at the 39 seconds. Never fancied him before when seen pics of him when young.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/02/2022 14:41

David Thewlis in Prime Suspect 3 as the evil pimp .
He drove an old classic car and wore rather gimpy skintight leathers (and was a deeply unpleasant character )

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 20/02/2022 14:42

@janeseymour78. I know what you mean! He reminds me very much of an ex in my yoof. Still dream about him... @ancientgran me too for same reasons. Direct conflict between fanny gallops and thinking "you are a truly awful human being". I think it's just the alpha male stuff, and no one has told my hormones we are more civilised now. Yes yes to Robbie Coltrane. I also really liked Tom Hollander in Rev.

devildeepbluesea · 20/02/2022 14:44

Totally agree with Malcolm Tucker, Blackadder 2,

But Phil Glenister has bags of charisma and I 100% would in any circumstances. Ditto Alan Rickman.

Silverswirl · 20/02/2022 14:45

David Tennant in Casanova. It was his breakthrough before dr who when not many knew who he was and it was just like wow- who the hell is this?

Hot priest omg yes.

Rainsunrainsun · 20/02/2022 14:45

Agree.
I came on to say the same.
The opposite of what I would normally find attractive but in the whole of the new Get Back documentary I found myself very drawn to him. Is it the beard? Or the song writing genius shown? I don’t know- it’s strange. Can’t believe it. Paul McCartney. What?!

SwedishEdith · 20/02/2022 14:46

Yes! Worth watching just for that. I think they were all at the peak, looks wise.
