Who's your secret ( and surprising crush ? )

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 ?

Nice Larry Lamb from Gavin and Stacey, or evil Larry Lamb from Eastenders?!

Peter Gabriel
Then and now

Ha ha so true. Only I think he looks a bit like him- others would probably laugh and disagree. OK, I missed the point of the thread a little, so I need to add a more surprising one. When I was younger I think I had a thing for Ken Barlow (until he started playing around!)

Oh here's a new one: Charles Dance. But only in White Mischief. What a strange film that was. Greta Scacchi was rather beautiful in that one as well.

Hot ginger on ginger action. Gave me hope as a fellow ginge. There's a very young Hugh Grant in the opening scenes as well.

Rick Stein I fell in love with his voice and gentle manner a long time ago.Think he would make a lovely DP . Also love Simon Reeves and Ben Fogle

Surely many of these are unsurprising?? I mean none are my type but just standard leading man/singers etc.

So I shall up the game (or possibly lower the tone). My first crush was Shane McGowan. I also had a thing for Spud from Trainspotting for quite some time while everyone else was all about Sick Boy and Renton.

Also Jamie Dornan's cousin is WAY fitter IMO 😅

I fell in love with Spud in the book Trainspotting but the actor in the film just didn't seem to be the same character or look like the Spud in my imagination 😁

Someone upthread said Bungle. That’s pretty weird.

Actually, I’m interested to know which Bungle, for there were many:

Bob Mortimer! So funny and genuine.

Hugh laurie when he was playing House.

I quite like Si King from the hairy bikers.
I've never actually told anyone that.

But look at those come to bed eyes...

ObtuseMoose might prefer the OG:

Stephen Mangan
Douglas Henshall

Noooo, he's terrifying and not at all sexy.

He’s the best isn’t he ❤️

How is that surprising?

Larry rickard for me. Always making silly faces. Not standard good looking. But I would

Oh! Keith Floyd. So funny and flamboyant, witty and clever. But riddled with sadness and totally haunted by himself and his demons.

Eddie Redmayne in that Jackal advert😬

Dougray Scott - always looks like a man in torment
Morrissey
Robert Smith
Inspector Morse - as portrayed by both Shaun Evans and John Thaw
Gene Hunt character - although if I ever encountered anyone like that in real life I would detest them
F Scott Fitzgerald

Ralph Fiennes. Even in his 60s he does it for me.
I rewatched The English Patient recently and my god, I was practically salivating.

I dated a Swedish man who was a blonder and slightly older version of him.
I have many happy memories.
I still get a flutter if I see Bill on the TV.
I didn't even think that was my type until I ended up in bed with it.

I think he was bi, but sadly still dead.
