Intense celebrity crush: menopause or madness

[Timeandtidy]

I previously considered myself a pretty sensible 40 year old. I went, as is tradition, with my DH & DCs to the Christmas panto.
I was really not expecting to develop the most intense weak-at-the knees teenage-style crush on the panto baddie (who was the most amazing actor and extremely attractive, but probably a decade younger than me and wearing a really bad wig). I keep obsessively googling to see photos of him and I’m starting to feel that I’m going mad.
Has anyone else every experienced this? Is it my age, will it pass?

Who is he? We can't say unless we see him.

God Op, you're not alone. I always get crushes on the Panto badies. Who knows what that says about me! Intense crushes are fairly common for me, I use them as a little escape.

You need to say who, then we can say whether you are mad or not.

Was it a chuckle brother?

I'm currently in love with Jack Lowden. Absolutely justified

You’re only 40!!! Very unlikely to be menopause (sorry if it is unless that’s what you want), but more likely a mental health problem, aka pantoitis. Does he look like Captain Hook? If so, seek help!!

We need to know who it is

pantoitis
😂

Oh no it isn't

Thats so weird

I couldn't take my eyes off the pantomime baddie this year.

He was a pro wrestler IRL and not all that, but as long john silver he was hot AF

Oh yes it is

I think it’s best not to share a photo of this panto god. I don’t want to be the cause of a riot or pantoitis pandemic 🤣

Safe to say, it’s not a Chuckle brother 🤣🤣

I do think this could be menopause related. I had a very intense, mortifying crush not long before I noticed peri probably happening and my friend had similar.

Ryan Reynolds and I got it on in my dreams last night, but then he told me cake would give me a big bum so I binned him. Stupid hormones. I don't even want him, I'm saving myself for Brad.

Yes! Mr Mistophalees in a production of Cats I saw a couple of years ago 🙊

The only reason I'm not is because I gave myself a good talking to about being old enough to be his mother (if I started early)

He is FINE

😤

Me too! It's so weird because he's not my type at all, looks wise, and I have no idea what his personality is like really, but I've got a proper teenage crush!

Just enjoy it . I have a definite crush and recently saw the person at a gig . Embarrassing as I screamed ( along with many many others ) I am in my 60s . But I felt like a teenager again . It was lovely .

Do you live in Stoke on Trent? Is it Johnathon Wilkes, Robbie Williams' best mate?

Oh and you're 40 - hardly menopausal. You could pop a few more babies out if you were so inclined

I've just googled and so far I've found -
Gareth Gates.
Louie Spence.
Ashley Banjo.
Christopher Biggins.
Craig Revel Horwood.
Paul Merton.
David Suchet
Jonathon Wilkes.

I'm extremely concerned for you!

It's Biggins isn't it? 😂

I understand. I fancy the pants off Evan Peters and I have hundreds of screenshot pics of him on my phone. A little bit of eye candy is good for me, even if it pisses my husband off.

Is he on Strictly , op?

Not alone in intense celebrity crushes! I'm currently obsessed with Taika Waititi as Blackbeard in Our Flag Means Death. I actually want to bite him.

Is that the Wagner fella off the X factor?

mygod😳

I don't really have anything to contribute was just reading but my god he is Damn handsome
