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.....
😳

Rory Stewart

Me and my mate want to go out and get drunk with Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell and we are very ashamed of ourselves! We often discuss the pubs in our home town that we would take them to

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!

I can't Like this as you'll think I'm agreeing to the Trump part as well 😄. Horrible little mouth and all of his children have inherited it. I'm not there's an surgery that can widen your mouth successfully.

Totally agree, he should have been Declan in Rivals, they could have got round his Scottishness to make him Irish, I 'saw' him all the time I was reading the book!

They got round him being tall(ish) and ginger for Perez in Shetland.

I’m still peeved that they cast Tom Cruise as the 6’4” blond haired blue eyed Jack Reacher.

Ed Miliband. Had a rude dream about him once and it's never really left me.

Rishi Sunak was eye candy during lockdown afternoon updates, and always looked good in a suit.

RosieDel · 28/01/2025 23:28

Also Rory Stewart as a pp has posted.

It is so embarrassing but it must be his charisma?

A younger Kier Starmer? Great hair! Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones Diary was based on him!

Whaaaaat! I am learning so much on this thread.

Including how many Rees-Mogg fanciers roam amongst us.

Yeah I thought rishi was quite attractive. Nice smile.

I used to have a thing for Mr Tumble about 10 years ago when my kids were small. I shared in an ice breaker thing at work. "Tell us something about you that we don't know". You could've heard a pin drop 🤣

😂😂

My daughter fancies Martin Lewis and she is only 28!
He walked past us in Westminster a couple of summers ago, spotted that we had spotted him and gave a little smile.
I almost had to scrape her up off the pavement!

Robogob · 28/01/2025 23:33

Oh and Michael Gove. I think he’s sort of mesmerising.

Mike Wozniak, pp,s have said James Martin, he gives me the absolute boak, I know he's very popular though with ladies of ahem a certain age 😂, his insta comments are v saucy🤦

LOVE Mike Wozniak. I bumped into him once and moved out of the way to let him pass by. He smile shyly at me and said thank you. I nearly fainted.

Mark Rylance.

With you on this one - I could listen to him forever and want him to read me a bedtime story.....

Howard Donald

Dermot Murnaghan (ITN newsreader)

Seagullsandsausagerolls · 28/01/2025 23:38

Kevin Keegan. He's the same age as my mum 🤣

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/01/2025 23:38

May I add, as an heterosexual woman, Helen McCrory?

I adored her.

WoodforTrees · 28/01/2025 23:38

Barry Keoghan - has a sort of ugly-sexy thing going on. I try not to think about his height.

Danny Dyer - I've actually worked with him a few times and he is funny as fuck and much cleverer than he lets on. I love a London accent and a curious mind/font of knowledge combo

ChannelLightVessel · 28/01/2025 23:38

Peter Mandelson.
Ian Hislop. Actually, I’m not embarrassed about the latter; he seems extremely clever, nice and moral.

Rogerisourlodger · 28/01/2025 23:38

John King from CNN.

Oyoh · 28/01/2025 23:39

Appalonia · 28/01/2025 21:47

Jeremy Clarkson and Elon Musk. Maybe because they are both intelligent and make me laugh?

And rich

A few years ago, when this same question was asked, I said Mr Tumble. I don’t feel the same now though 🙂.

That’s when you know it’s time to step away from CBeebies. Although, if it makes you feel any better, I did google “Robert the Robot without make-up”.
