Unusual crushes

34 replies

Deadinsidebutcaffeinated · 23/03/2023 14:18

I love to hear about other people having unusual celebrity/ well known crushes as I always seem to have a few.

Mine are always a fair bit older than me -I'm mid 30s and they are usually mid 50's. No idea why!
Current crushes are Ben Chaplin and Claes Bang.

Please share yours!

Dominique de Villepin, circa 2003. (Pregnancy hormones).

To explain, this was in 2003 and I was ppregnant. I no longer lust after him!

@Deadinsidebutcaffeinated Would Claes Bang would really count as a weird crush?! He looks like a matinee idol!

Innocent childhood crush watching ghost busters Dan Akroyd? 🤣 Rick Ashley. Very 80's and don't know why.

I'm rewatching The Bill and Peter Ellis (Brownlow) has very sexy eyes.

I had a thing for Dan Akroyd too! Never annoyed that before 🤣🤣

I had the biggest childish crush on Murdoch from the A-Team for the longest time (I am a massive sucker for people who make me laugh). 🙈🤣🤣🤣
Until there was an episode where he jumped in a lake and his hat came off, which revealed to me (for the first time) the reality of his encroaching baldness. Instant ick. 😬

Love these. It seems Dan Aykroyd is a popular guy!!

Mine are all Australian: Tim Minchin (funny, musical, clever, wild hair and guyliner), Peter Garrett (long-standing crush from my 20s as he has quite a unique look + musical + clever) and Adam Hills (funny and clever).
Adam is closest to my age, not that it has any bearing on anything.

Deadinsidebutcaffeinated · 25/03/2023 20:39

I can get Tim Minchin, he has a certain charisma I think

Weirdly he seemed to get his hair back by the time he was in Star Trek and he's very sweet in that. I always went for the classic crush on Face/Templeton Peck though.

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 26/03/2023 14:08

Dacre Montgomery/Billy in stranger things. I'm old enough to be his mum 😭

foxlover47 · 26/03/2023 14:13

Greg Davis for me too
All of a sudden, as I watched the cleaner when it first came out , since the latest Christmas one ... mega crush ha ha

Violethayes · 30/03/2023 17:04

Claes Bang is all mine!! I’m a bit insulted he is seen as an unusual crush though?

Deadinsidebutcaffeinated · 01/04/2023 17:53

@Violethayes I'll fight you! 😆 I'm pretty sure he'd be classed as unusual, when I mentioned it to a friend and she didn't see it!
I think he's gorgeous and so charismatic!

Violethayes · 01/04/2023 20:33

@Deadinsidebutcaffeinated maybe I’m biased but I don’t see him as anything other than perfectly handsome. He is a very sexy man. Maybe unusual though and I have my rose tinted glasses on 🤣.

Walterwhiteswifey · 01/04/2023 20:44

Boris Johnson... 🙈
