Embarrassing men you find secretly sexy

Who is your embarrassing cringe famous person crush? I'll start with what I suspect is the most embarrassing - Emmanuel Macron. I know he's a total tool and arrogant, and it's cheesy as hell but honestly I just think yes! Even that CRINGE photo of him with his shirt wide open and hairy rug chest on display, remember that? Everyone mocked, I mocked, and yet.....
😳

Not cringe just totally opposite to my usual type looks wise - I have always had a big crush on Andrew Lincoln…I think I’m drawn to his personality. I’ve met him twice and both times he was so lovely.

Michael Portillo

Robert Glenister

I also like Michael Portillo but I don't say it out loud. I guess it's politicians for me.

I once saw Bill Clinton in the early 90's when he was campaigning for President in the US. He flashed a smile at me and I was smitten. Now, it's a bit embarrassing.

I'm also attracted to David Cameron.
I know, I know.

Bill Clinton was so charismatic, always had a twinkle in his eye even if he was trying to discuss something serious

Young Donald Trump was absolutely gorgeous aswell!

James May

I can see the attraction there. Plus he can cook a bit, so I can sit on the sofa with a G&T whilst dinner just happens.

Rose also like bruno mars.
Thanawat rattanakitpaisan and his side kick archen aydin.

Richard Hammond

Inspector Columbo. Have loved him for years and years!! Only told a few people in real life. Always get ridiculed for it.

Negangirlxx · 28/01/2025 23:10

Greg Davies. Had a sex dream about him once. Ever since then, I’ve found him weirdly attractive! 😂😂

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

Jail. For 100 years. No parole.

He looks like he smells of wee dribble and earwax.

LSTMS30555 · 28/01/2025 23:11

Another here for Boris Johnson and also Matt Hancock; however I'm not embarrassed by fancier either of them 😝

Richard Hammond

I had such a crush on him circa 2006, when I was about 14/15. He was gorgeous. I was so upset when he had his crash. I would obsessively watch the news, and read the papers coverage.

Atlasvue · 28/01/2025 23:12

Justin Trudeau. An absolute wet wipe of a man but he has lovely hair.

Crazycatlady79 · 28/01/2025 23:12

Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. He's been my crush since '92.
He's egotistical and short, but I adore him.

Monty Don.. so weirdly sexy with the corduroy and braces 🙈

Hear hear 🙌🏼

Thelimitdoesnotexist9 · 28/01/2025 23:13

John Torode 😬😬

HeartandSeoul · 28/01/2025 23:13

Mark Heap (not as Jim though 😁!).

Justin Trudeau. An absolute wet wipe of a man but he has lovely hair.

Trudeau was fine when he started out as PM, but as with Macron, the stress of the job has aged him beyond his years.

I still would though.

CoubousAndTourmalet · 28/01/2025 23:14

My weird sexy man for about 45 years was Donald Sutherland, although my first ever crush at age 6 or 7 was Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon.

Agreeing with others here - Bill Nighy, Robert Peston, Monty Don.

Has anyone ever seen a picture of a young Stalin???
Oh my..

I've just googled and well, I don't know what to say. Apparently young Stalin made my weird crush list lol.

Karl Pilkington
and another for Boris. There's something appealing about him and I don't know what it is 🤔
