Embarrassing, silly character crush

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.

Ooh, Stephen Graham as Atticus in Taboo!

Promise not to laugh at my REALLY weird crush. Kojak Blush

It’s Connell Waldron isn’t it, Paul Mescal?

just me then 🥰

I watched Pet Shop Boys at Glastonbury and thought how much I liked Neil Tennant. Which was a surprise. Someone on the thread said how much they'd like to go antiques shopping with him, I thought that was great. Crushes can be platonic (plus he is gay). Maybe we could have afternoon tea.

Although I have started following Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) on You Tube and i think I'm stating to have a bit of a crush Blush

ST isn't finished though, is it? It was all a bit inconclusive.
There's a good chance that some sort of vindication of Eddie will occur in the next series; I'm sure Dustin will see to it!

Also, I was wondering what happened to Enzo? I may have had a bit of a crush on him, too.

Ooh Connell's chain, that was all over the place in 2020. Paul Mescal is currently sporting a really horrible moustache Sad

I know, the moustache is a woeful update but still, it wouldn’t put me off!

I don't have a crush on Neil Tennant but I saw them in Glasgow a few weeks ago and they were amazing, far exceeded my expectations.

Sparklingbrook · 04/07/2022 13:37

@StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 they've still got it. I still know all the words. Grin The male drummer was very cute too Blush

StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 · 04/07/2022 13:38

Me too, and seconded!

LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana · 04/07/2022 13:39

Same. I'm putting it down to hormones but it's put a smile on my face. Fell in love with him over 30 years ago and it's rekindled after watching said film again. I've been told it's a weird one but looking online,glad to say I'm not alone. I love him in other movies too but one holds a special place ☺️

I always need more merch.
I paid a ridiculous amount for his first solo tour for my 40th birthday but so worth it, I saw him a few times in 1D and then last month in Glasgow, should have been Wembley too but Covid got me.

It's only been since 2016 for so already in hiatus.😁
I had tickets x 2 gigs for this tour but Long Covid got me. Too poorly to go to big gigs now.

Are you 40ish. Could be your peri-menopause causing it.

HarryPopper · 04/07/2022 13:56

He was disarming in the forest scene with Chrissy. I can see why you've a crush on him.

P205 · 04/07/2022 13:58

I have to admit that I was just so impressed with Joseph Quinn's acting in Stranger Things. He was really great as Eddie!

I get strange crushes all the time. I think it's pretty normal.

I'm with @WoodpeckerInTheTree my Kylo Ren crush probably did a lot to embed DS's Star Wars phase! OP your subconscious has noticed you're battling a bit at the moment and decided to bless your day with a little sparkle, hope things sort themselves out for you soon.

Catlitterqueen · 04/07/2022 14:02

I had most of my daft crushes when I had 2 children under 3 and was virtually devoid of adult company!
Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favourite but I liked Robert Carlisle in The Full Monty.
Don’t think I’ve had any new ones since Woody in ‘This is England’.

For anyone one with a Harry Styles crush, can I recommend The Idea of You by Robinne Lee

www.amazon.co.uk/Idea-You-scorching-Richard-obsessed/dp/1405950366/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24SVZELQFZQWZ&keywords=the+idea+of+you&qid=1656940273&s=books&sprefix=the+idea+o%2Cstripbooks%2C192&sr=1-1

It's transparently based on him, and a good hot read. I'm not particularly afflicted with Harry attraction but I loved the book anyway. I can imagine it would have a whole extra dimension if you're a Harry Styles fan!

Off to Google if there's any Eddie fanfics 😂

I'm on it.
I've read a series with not him in it which I loved.

IfYouOnlyKnew · 04/07/2022 14:21

This is me with Anthony from Bridgerton. As Anthony, not in real life 😂I watch all sorts of crap on instagram and you tube about Bridgerton. It’s harmless surely!
