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.....
😳

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

I laughed like a convulsing drain at that! All these politicians, is it because they are on telly so often? though we have been spared Gove of late, is he even still in parliament?

Neil Oliver.

I see him walking his dogs a lot. Shorter than I thought he’d be.

Richard eddington in the 70s/80s.

Michael Sheen with the mad hair and beard and big jumper look.

Robert Carlyle

Michael Sheen is totally normal. with his lovely voice, and cheeky glint in his eyes, and big smile, and just how all round kind and lovely he is.
I don't normally go for hairy. he looks like a big, feral badger, and I love him for it.
bet he gives the best hugs.

Noel Fielding.

Alan Rickman.

Bandit

As in... Bandit Heeler?

I think you may have a point...

FasilBalti · 28/01/2025 23:43

I'd have been up for a threesome with Dempsey and Makepeace back in the day 😂

So was Kaa in the Jungle Book.

I still think of Gove as Pob.

I opened this thread and said to myself 'I bet Louis Theroux' is mentioned on page 1 😂.
So many of these people come up so frequently on 'embarrassing crushes' threads that I really don't think they're embarrassing. And a lot of them are really, really attractive... Most women I know are attracted to intelligence, humour, kindness, personality.

Yes, to Macron as well. Also (have admitted this before 😳) Antony Blinken. Am slightly gutted he'll no longer be on the nightly news.

A definite yes for Anthony Blinken and also Mark Carney for similar reasons!

Paradoes · 28/01/2025 21:43

Mr Bates from Downton 🥰

Definitely, that morose, smouldering quality is very sexy

TheRattleBag · 28/01/2025 23:49

I had a rather disturbing sex dream about Nick Clegg during the coalition government days. Couldn't look at him without blushing for a while after that, but thankfully it passed!

Now have a weird attraction towards Chris Harris (of Top Gear). There's something about the way his mouth moves when he's talking that's incredibly sexy!

Philip Glenister (in Life on Mars)

Philip Glenister in Life On Mars isn't embarrassing, if he is I'm joining you anyway 😁

Oy hands off he's all mine (when Victoria whom I think is wonderful has finished with him)

I'd like David Mitchell but I'd far rather have Victoria. I'd give up men for VCM in a heartbeat.

WellsAndThistles · 28/01/2025 23:52

I agree with OP, Macron is a fine figure of a man!

Others, Professor Brian Cox, Matt Hancock 🤭, David Cameron, Andy Peters 😋.

Vessel from Sleep Token. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

I also get Mark Rylance but it may be a Cromwell thing. Or capes. I seem to like capes.

It's not the cape.

Checkout MaskTok on TikTok.

SwedishEdith · 28/01/2025 23:54

Ha ha, love the way Macron's chest stares you in face in the thread gallery.

PP mentioned CNN John King. Jake Tapper is hot - not embarrassing.

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 28/01/2025 23:55

Not embarrassing, more of a "hear me out".

Stephen Merchant.

Burish · 28/01/2025 23:56

McKenzie Crook
Stephen Merchant
Mickey Flanagan

KnoblesseOblige · 28/01/2025 23:56

Snape (specifically Rickman only as this, RIP). Jamie Demetriou is lovely but maybe not conventionaly hot? Paul Chowdhry (actually not embarrassing, he's hot). Shia leBoeuf (I know, I know.. But I SO WOULD). Samson Kayo too, sexy panda.

AInightingale · 28/01/2025 23:57

I really don't get the appeal of Matt Hancock, why does he keep getting mentioned here? He looks like a middle manager from Carpetright, there is absolutely nothing sexy or dynamic about him.

Tobias Ellwood now, that's different.

Steve Davis, snooker, for more than 40 years now.
