Your Dad’s crushes

[IfUCantDance]

There was a fun thread a while back about your mum’s crushes over the years so I thought I’d start one for your dad’s. My dad (born mid 50s) has fancied over the years:

Agnetha from Abba
Kim Wilde
Whitney Houston
Meg Ryan
Leslie Ash
Jennifer Aniston
Celine Dion
Sally Phillips

Amanda Redman

Kylie!

Pans People

Gemma Craven and Leslie Caron (short, dark haired actresses - they looked a bit like my Mum)
Any Miss World contestants from India.

My DGF was a big fan of Cyd Charisse.
It was always brunettes for my DF, like DM. I can only think of Anni-Frid from ABBA and Helen McCrory, but there were definitely others.

Fiona Bruce,❤️
weather girl Alex Dolan 👀
Marina on Last of the Summer Wine 😂
Shirley Bassey

Olivia Newton-John

Oh grim! Wouldnt know. Id hate having a sleezy dad that goes on about his celebrity crushes lol

Elizabeth Taylor

Gosh my Dad just turned 100 ( he's no longer here) but l doubt anyone would be interested...probably because you wouldn't them lol.

Selena Scott!

Suzanne Danielle.

... and Sigourney Weaver.

My mum used to say that my dad had a soft spot for Rachel De Thame. I think that’s why he watched Gardeners World really!

The only way of finding out my dad's crushes would be my mum referring to the woman on the screen as "your dad's friend". Hilarious.

I'm sure there've been others but I'm pretty confident that I remember Jilly Goulden, Fi Glover and Jane McDonald. Quite a random selection.

Jesus Christ, lighten up. How is fancying a celebrity every now and then “sleezy”?! It’s called being human. There was a previous thread (that inspired this one) about people your mum fancied, too. Are mums and dads “sleezy” for lightheartedly saying they think someone on the telly is good looking?!

Julie Christie
Jane Fonda (especially in barbarella)

Am trying to think of others - he didn't really mention it much, more my mum would say 'you father likes her'. I think she quite liked that he liked women not a million miles away from her general look being big eyed, curvy blonde ish types. My dh still has a thing for 90s Sandra Bullock who is my total opposite.

Cher and Linda Lusardi.

My dad liked Sandie Shaw, Eve Graham from The New Seekers and Judith Durham from The Seekers.
Mum liked Roger Whittaker, Neil Diamond and Val Doonican (until she found out he was only little).

Debbie Harry
Freddie Mercury

Nigella 😅 also not a "sexually open household" and my dad is certainly not a sleaze!

Winona Ryder

Kim Tate

Sadly we lost my dad 15 years ago.
But I know he had a big crush on Doris Day when he was young😁 (He was born 1937)

Not my dad, but my friend told me that her and her dad would enthusiastically sit down to watch Wonder Woman each week when she was little. 😂
