Embarrassing, silly character crush

[PrettyIdiotic]

I have been pretty down lately and I think that's probably the reason for this.

But I've developed a crush on a celeb, mostly a character he played, but him all round I suppose.

I know there's nothing wrong with a celebrity crush, a lot of people have them but I guess I'm just feeling silly about it. When I sit down to have a cuppa I find myself watching interviews, clips, my FYP on TT is almost exclusively him.

How do I snap out of it. I'm a grown mother FFS!

Just embarrassing.

It sounds fairly harmless.

A little fantasy to brighten your day does no harm.
Can we know who it is ?
Ive always had a thing for Ralf Little.

I think I'm indulging it because I do feel pretty shit and it feels nice to have those silly butterflies or just having something to smile about.

But I'm not 13 watching Take That on TOTP 🤔😂 Shouldn't adults be immune to this stuff?

I do that. I usually get over them after a few months of obsessing! So far have crushed massively on Tom Hiddlestone and Ben Barnes.

There's worse things you could do in life!

It's totally normal, just embrace it

I've had plenty throughout my life. Once they have gone, they are usually gone for good (see Hugh Laurie in House, William Petersen in CSI etc etc).

I do this - develop crushes on a character of a show I’m watching. Feels pretty intense for a while and then slowly ebbs away. I have GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) and I think it has a lot to do with that with me. I rewatch the same shows a lot and so the characters become quite real and familiar. I’d say enjoy the crush and it’ll end soon!

Oh that's so interesting. I have that also.

I do tend to obess over things but it's usually hobbies/events/an idea I get. Not a person.

Is it Anthony Bridgerton / Jonathan Bailey OP? If so, I'm in the same boat. 🙈

I'm currently crushing hard on Captain Christopher Pike from Star Trek Discovery & Strange New Worlds series. If I was on The Enterprise I'd walk into a warp core if he asked me to.

Happens, just enjoy it :)

Just had to Google... No definitly not 😂

This made me laugh 😂 thanks

From the Royal Family?

I want to guess who it is now 😂

Is it Miles Teller or Glen Powell or indeed anyone in 'Top Gun: Maverick'? If so - I'm right there with you.

I really don't know what you mean 😉

Life’s pretty hard and shit at times. What’s the harm in a bit of escapism. So come on who is it???

If its Sam Heughan/Jamie Fraser from Outlander join the queue. 😁

I don't view it as an issue. My DH knows I have a massive crush on Christian Kane and pretty much all of the characters he plays. This crush hasn't waned even tho I've met him 3 times. I am hopefully planning a 4th time next year but it's the first time in 10 years since I last met him.

Nooo.

Not seen it, not seen the original either. I have a bit of a Tom Cruise phobia 😂

Why have I had to Google every man mentioned on this thread?! Not recognised one name 😂

Nope. But heard good things about that series!

It’s Henry Cavill isn’t it? I mean, you’re not alone if it is! Ahem…

Oh for goodness sake, OP, just tell us who it is!

If it helps I had a massive thing for Greg House (Hugh Laurie) a few years ago. Now I think he's a total twat (GH, that is... I'm sure HL is perfectly nice)

Not in this instance but I love a bit of Henry 😍

@SirSamVimesCityWatch Tom Hiddlestone yep!

Its harmless (just be careful you don't call your DP/DH if you have one the other name by mistake )
