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 ?

David Olusoga
Sanjeev Kohli (wow, that voice too!)
Simon Reeve
Richard Ayoade
Michael Palin (even now)

Michael Palin (even now).

I can't view him as a crush but I'd love him to be my uncle. Have a feeling he'd give good hugs, wise advice and never forget your birthday!

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

Me too!

Joe Gilgun, totally not my type but so lush in Brassic

Mebebecat · 17/11/2024 23:31

And into this bizarre mix goes Luke Littler. Just how does anyone do that stuff at 17?? When I look at most of the useless kids I know who can't even get a bus to school on their own...

Charlie Brooker.

I’m straight (I think) but have a huge crush on Katie Taylor the boxer.

She’s fierce and brooding but with the most beautiful eyes and smile. I want to run away with her.

Gordon from the show Colin from accounts.

This might not seem surprising as he is a romantic lead, but he's a good 12 years older than me and I usually cope very badly with cringiness. It's the accent, I'm a sucker for Ozzies

Also, almost anyone with one of those excellent full 80s moustaches. Delighted that they're back in vogue in some places (went to Glasgow recently and had to pick my jaw off the floor every five minutes).

Oh yes!

Take care if you watch the After series of films starring his nephew Hero Fiennes then 🙈 He is absolutely gorgeous! Although I’m old enough to be his mother 🙈 I totally agree with you about Ralph Fiennes then, and now.

I remember watching The English Patient in 1997. I fear I’m destined to love the males in the acting dynasty for ever, gah! <<this includes Joseph Fiennes>>

@Wishimaywishimight I thought I had a crush on Hugh Bonneville but I think it’s actually Ian Fletcher who sets my pulse racing!

Kane Dingle 🤣

I thought Lenny Henry was looking quite good on recent advert. Even though he's older than my dad ... 🫣

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

I am obsessed with Rick Stein! He's like the David Attenborough of the food world. More appropriate for me to say think he'd make a lovely grandad 🫢

CookieMonster28 · 18/11/2024 11:09

I also had a weird realisation the other day that I used to fancy Jonny Wilkinson when I was a teenager...and actually DH looks quite similar 🤣

LittleBoPeepHasLostHerShit · 18/11/2024 11:17

Weird Richard from the Inbetweeners movie.
He looks a bit different these days though!

You'll be pleased to know he's on tinder

What!? It looks like he had a girlfriend on Instagram... Anyway, I'm married. 😉

There’s a large cohort of celebrity crushes - and men in general where you could kick yourself for not being an early adopter. I mean this in the marketing sense of the word, as in, per a Google search,

"Someone who embraces new technology or tries a new product before most others."

It's a risk, certainly, but that Hugh Laurie's wife is in clover now, isn't she?

Daniel Craig looked a right jam factory outing when he was younger and the most famous example is probably George Clooney.

Is Paul Mescal considered a "surprising" crush?

Yes definitely. I think he is incredibly ordinary and his performance in Gladiator 2 was criminally bad.
At this point, I would now like to throw Sanjeev Bhaskar into the mix.

Markie on English Teacher. Ron Swanson vibe except softer.

I'm also straight, I'm sure, but I have a real girl crush (is that still a thing?) on Ilona Maher, she's so LOVELY and pretty and cute!

WhoGonnaCheckMeBoo · 18/11/2024 19:00

Jack Nicholson in his hey day and The Menace from The Chase 🙈 I find intelligence really attractive lol
Used to have a thing for Jake Wood, but that's not the strangest, a friend once told me after a few sherbets that she fancies Louis Walsh hahaha
