Intense celebrity crush: menopause or madness

Timeandtidy · 12/01/2024 17:26

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?

I developed intense lust for an actor in an American thriller series. Still have it. I'm 61. 😊

Not panto but my adoration of Johnny Depp has reached teenage proportions now I'm peri! Loved him since nightmare on elm street, but now I'm dreaming of him and a few months back I was dreaming he was at a local party to me, he was really close to me, really flirting, asked where I lived and I said I'll just ring ahead and get my DH to sleep in the spare room 🤣🤣🤣
I certainly got the sweats that night 🤣🤣🤣
DH has actually said 'do I need to worry ' ... hilarious! Eeerrrr I doubt JD would fancy me lol 😜

@TastyLikeARaindrop they were both pilots together in Dunkirk.

Just remembered Ben Robson who plays a very bad boy Craig Cody in Animal Kingdom. He's definitely got a touch of the Tom Hardy about him.

That's at the top of the to do list then 😆

I used think Dominic West was gorgeous (circa The Wire) and then he played Fred West. Can't look at him now, in anything

You are not alone with either of those thoughts.

Honestly, I opened up Instagram and dropped my phone when it was the first picture that came up!

Slight derail regards it ... I read in the week the a similar as with FKA Twiggs was pulled in the uk as it was (I'm paraphrasing a bit here) deemed to be objectifying her.

I think we can all agree however the above photo is in no way objectifying JAW.---- Grin

Interesting.

Cheesehound · 13/01/2024 15:03

Very interesting @tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz - I’d read the same. And of course, totally agree that JAW is in no way objectified there 🤪

I had an intense crush on an actor when I was pregnant, i was absolutely obsessed and was very horny a lot of the time. Only realised a few months on that I hadn’t thought about him since I gave birth, pregnancy hormones are mad. No chance you’re pregnant? lol!

This is my current, short lived obsession, Nicholas Galitzine. It should wear off next week once I've ovulated!
