Celebrity wise - Or it won't be much fun

Not my usual type , but I really like the nature cameraman / Countryfile Celebrity Hamza Yassin . When he's on tv he comes across like a lovely gentle soul , and strangely his hair does something to me .
Totally different to my dh which I guess is the allure.
Who's yours ?

😂

I wrote a list of my celebrity crushes in a diary when I was 16. Looking at it now, it seems that my perfect man was (a) gay and (b) dead.

I’m more realistic these days!

Mine fits the gay/dead catergory too .

Bill Bailey and as a child Barry gibb 🤣

GiddyRobin · 16/11/2024 20:39

Oh, Hugh Laurie, too! Though he's less surprising as he's very tall with those huge big sad eyes. But I remember watching House with DH after he (DH) got his injury and walking cane - and suddenly DH and House merged in my head and I got a total crush. 😂 Looks nothing like him! DH was most flattered and does a cracking impression. Dressed as him for one Halloween party and no one could believe his gallows humour!

Charlie Brooker

Steve Pemberton - he gets better with age , love LOG and Inside No9 . He has the most amazing eyes .
In drama like Happy Valley or Whitechapel , he is such a versatile actor .

@70isaLimitNotaTarget Absolutely agree! 😁

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 16/11/2024 21:33

Douglas Henshall amd John Simms

Plus Marcus Waring, he has the most amazing eyes, they just draw you in.

My very surprising one... and in fact, it's not even a crush, just a big desire to be filthy... Pete Wicks 😲
He's totally not my type, I'm probably old enough to be his mother ... but something about him is making me come over all funny.

And lots mentioned on this thread are definitely not surprising.. I mean, Alan Rickman, Jamie Dornan... totally mainstream crushes surely?

Colin Farrell. Since he was in Ballykissangel in the 90's Grin Thirty years I've been lusting after that man.

Me too re Pete..
My odd crush is Peter Mullan who played Michael in Mum... I first saw him about twenty years ago in a drama called This Little Life.. Loved him ever since.

Fiscal competence is a very attractive trait.

Dead writers are a rich seam to dig in the daft crush goldmine. Extra points for being gay, an alcoholic, a drug addict, fighting in a war, being a spy or having a tortured love life.

F Scott Fitzgerald.
Ernest Hemingway.
Roald Dahl was absolutely dashing as a young man.
All of the war poets especially Seigfried Sassoon.
Lord Byron.

It's odd to find a fanciable painter though.

Bill Skarsgard - no friends or family members find him attractive! I think they are nuts

Ah not for me… his big brother Alexander or his Dad in his slightly younger days however!

BarbieKew · 16/11/2024 21:53

Lately it’s 50 Cent. He’s somehow started turning up all over my news feeds and I’m smitten. Odd.

I have a massive soft spot for Owen Farrell. I'm gutted he's no longer playing for England.

PermanentTemporary · 16/11/2024 21:57

Not very surprising - Hannah Fry. She's my celebrity free pass. My lord I could worship that woman all night long.

What's nice is that she's also high up on my dp's list. So when she feels the urge for a threesome with a late 50s suburban couple, she is all set ❤️

Chopin? 🥹

He makes my little heart go pitter-patter!
100% Byron.

Oh, oh! Shelley?

But I'm with you on lack of painters. I need to go and consider that one.

I have a thing for Marcus Wareing but it would only work out if he stopped being friends with Gregg.

The character Gene Hunt in the series Life on Mars 🙈

Oh my gosh- I just thought this as I clicked on the thread!! 😬

The only celeb crush I've got is Evan Peters. But it's not very surprising as he's gorgeous.
