Poor Andy.. did anyone actually fancy him? 😬

His missus?

UnctuousUnicorns · 10/02/2024 20:00

TTT, he wasn't bad looking, just badly styled, I think. Plus he had a nicer accent than NR! But I may be biased, my dad's a Geordie!

@Lessstressedhemum that's a list I would fight you for 🤣 Yngwie was hot when he was younger. I'm adding Joey Tempest to the list. He is still looking good for his age.

When I was 18, I had a larger than life sized poster of Yngwie in leather on my bedroom ceiling! He was so hot.

I had a big thing for Bret Michaels and Jeff Scott Soto, as well. At least Yngwie and JSS were age appropriate!

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 10/02/2024 21:07

Ryan Giggs.

I think I was around 12/13 and used to have posters of him on my wall and everything.

Thankfully, my taste in men has improved since.

Bowie.

From when I was 14 and until I see a more beautiful man ( I'm 50 now, so doubt it will ever happen ). He was perfection.

He was perfection. I see him singing Heroes and just melt.

I loved:
Harrison Ford
David Cassidy
David Essex
John Taylor
Bryan Ferry when he didn't wax his hair

and foremost, Anthony Andrews. Another perfect man.

Are you suggesting they're the one and the same person? Have they ever been seen together? 🤔
