Which “not hot” people do you fancy?

As a corollary to a thread asking which hot people you don't fancy...

The litmus test here is that we're talking about people who, if you mentioned over coffee that you fancied them, your friends would wrinkle their noses and say, "Oh, God - really? Ew. No, no no - I can't see the attraction at all."

It's Alastair Campbell and Dominic Cummings for me. For actors it would be Rik Mayall as Captain Flash Heart and Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder 2, also Chris Barrie as Ace Rimmer

See, Rick Mayall, Rowan Atkinson, Chris Barrie (in character) I totally relate to, but Dominic Cummings is completely off my radar 😅

Ronnie Barker in Porridge Blush

And Bradley Walsh Blush

My main horror here is the fact that someone suggested the Haunted Edwardian Wanksock, Jacob Rees Mogg.

Any Tory really

But especially him ohgod

THEN SOMEONE SAID BORIS

😭😭😭😭😭

I FEAR FOR YOUR SANITY

I have to agree with this. Their politics and lack of moral compass would make my area clamp shut.

Adam Hills on the other hand...saw him doing stand up about 5 years ago. After the show he stood in the foyer collecting for charity, wearing just a dressing gown. I exhibited great self control and just put some money in his bucket.
No, that isn't a euphemism.

Captain Flashheart and Blackadder, yes yes yes! But also I did find Richie Richard from Bottom attractive. I think it’s just Rik 🤣

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 04/12/2022 19:18

I agree with Rik Mayall as Lord Flasheart 😍

Woof Woof, indeed!

I didn’t know that Will Self was awful to Deborah Orr. Might have to revise my opinion on him.

Adam Driver’s wife must be as smug as anything, as apparently they got together in college when he was in his goofy stage and then he went and matured into a stacked Adonis.

Gomez in the new ‘Wednesday’ series. Yes, I know, I know 🙈

He looks like Gomez in the animated movie 😂

Chris mason is cool. He seems a laugh as well

He is. He went to uni with a friend of mine and we went for a curry with him in Newcastle when they were both working for Metro Radio (?) about 20 years ago. Very lovely, genial, funny person.

Omg yes. And also Charlie Cooper (bro of Daisy May) who looks very like him I always think...

God this thread is hilarious 😂 10 out of 10 to the Xi JinPing crew for actually admitting it. I love Prof Michael Clarke who does the military analysis on SKY news. His intelligence is such a turn on.

Years ago in a very junior role I used to have dealings with Prof Michael Clarke in a work capacity - he was a very nice man as well as being hugely intelligent

Greenshake · 04/12/2022 20:02

@Owlcat42 I can definitely believe that, he seems so well mannered.

Not so much now but Bob was stunning in his Boomtown Rats days.

They first imagine that comes to mine whenever I hear David Thewlis. Any takers?

We have the same taste, though you can keep Cummings (as it were). Chris Barrie was also hot as the French Revolutionary in Blackadder III
