Intense celebrity crushes

[Jolinar]

Do other people get intense celebrity/ character crushes? Just wondering how normal they are? I get a few a year. Very intense, last a few weeks and then pass. Anyone else?

Omg yes! My latest one is Joseph Quinn - think I'm actually in love with both him and Eddie Munson 😄🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m in a longterm relationship with Troye Sivan, we keep it so discrete he doesn’t even know about it.

Mine has been going on for 32 years :0 I'm now rewatching 24 and it's as intense as ever 😳

Currently Homelander from The Boys 😳

I'll see myself out.

That's the thing, I often find they make no sense, aren't someone I'd actually date in real life.

One of my recent ones is Harry Styles 😂 he's far to young for me.

Yes

Am totally obsessed with Joseph Quinn right now.

Have a Hell Fire Tshirt and everything

David Boreanaz. Though he is a lifelong crush and he gets better and better with age. Any Buffy, Angel, Bones, SEAL Team fans here? 😊

I've always got one on the go, they usually last a few months but the current one is a couple of years.

It coincided with the peri menopause and seems to be lingering.

Yeah same. New one every couple of months.

Completely, always characters and never actors. They last while I’m watching something and then I move on, hussy that I am.

Its currently Diego in The Umbrella Academy but having just started watching Jack Ryan on Amazon, I feel it may well change to John Krasinski.

@NippyWoowoo, have you watched Banshee? If you like The Boys you’ll love it, and also whatsisname is SMOKING in it

Joseph Quinn. Oh my days, he is absolutely gorgeous. He's had me image searching and scrolling like a teenager.

SarahShorty big Buffy fan here. Though I haven't fancied Angel since I was a teen!

This is definitely making me feel more normal.

CornedBeef451 mine have become more intense recently and I think I've entered peri menopause.

Totally-never liked Andrew Lincoln as Egg in This Life but I have very unnecessary thoughts about him as Rick Grimes in TWD

I shall get watching...🙈

I mean, there’s liking a bad boy, then theres homelander…

I didn't really for years but I swear peri does something.
I had three in quick succession, first two only lasted a few weeks then number three is still ongoing a year later and was at points so intense that I actually freaked myself out a bit.
I'm not NT, don't know if that makes a difference.

Yes. Intense celebrity crushes from about 13. Still have them in my 50’s. Never have a real life crush. Very odd

Mine is 40 years.
Harrison Ford.
You should see my Pinterest 😂😂

I've been binge watching Lucifer and I have fallen completely and utterly in love with Tom Ellis.

His wiki page is very dull though, just a list of his films and nothing about him as a person. I think it's the character I'm in love with rather than the actor.

Are you familiar with the Swagger Inn of yesteryear on MN? Many, many, now sadly deceased threads on our undying love for for The Musketeers. It was, erm, intense. You are not alone.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Jay Halstead in Chicago PD (hence the user name 🤣)

Properly gives me the fanny gallops.

Just..... Uhhh... 😮

Tommy Shelby! It only lasted a few weeks but it was intense!
Not Cillian Murphy in the slightest though

I'm currently madly in love with Mathew Baynton from Horrible Histories and Ghosts.

But Josh Groban and I have been an item for 20 years.

Oooh no, but Soldier Boy on the other hand…
