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.....
😳

He's tiny though, isn't he?

Like really miniature?

shorter than me, apparently. which was surprising because he LOOKS tall. and his trousers were always too short

Marcus Wareing! Although I don’t feel remotely embarrassed about it 😄

Nothing to be embarrassed about, he’s gorgeous.

Others for me: Roy Keane and Lee Mack

Boris Johnson, Elon as much as I think he's an awful human, and Jools Holland! There's something about him! Grin

Jools Holland would always be offering to play you a little bit of boogie woogie piano...

Micheal Sheen. Old enough to be my father and then some but his passion for the things he loves is really very attractive. I get the impression he's genuinely a decent human being too

There's 25 years between him and his partner Anna Lundberg, so you might be about the right age for him...

(I think he's 55, his eldest daughter is 25 and his partner is 30. Wonderful actor, lovely bloke, but quite the age gap)

I think he's absolutely gorgeous. and very loveable too. definitely a DILF

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

🤮🤮🤮

Lizzy7596 · 28/01/2025 21:29

Steve Coogan .

Not weird at all, Steve Coogan is straight-up sexy.

camelliaflower · 29/01/2025 00:34

Another person whose actions I don't care for but who is attractive... Bill Clinton 🙃😂

SinisterBumFacedCat · 29/01/2025 00:37

I hate to say it but I do find Elon Musk sexy!

Even worse though, young Trump! In the 70’s Studio 54 era.

Missikat13 · 28/01/2025 23:59

When I was about 16 I had a right thing for Alan Davies as Jonathan Creek... Definitely not who all my teen friends were after!

Me too - although I was a bit older in my 20s!

camelliaflower · 29/01/2025 00:41

Richard Gere in pretty woman, but I don't think that's embarrassing really Grin

saltandvinegarchipsticks · 29/01/2025 00:43

Data from Star Trek.

SeaUrchinHat · 29/01/2025 00:44

David Lee Roth (‘80s version).

Ricky Gervais, but it’s based on a recent dream so will probably wear off in a few days.

Oh my, yes--but nowt remotely embarrassing about Mr Laurie. Or even Dr. House.
Unlike Keanu Reeves, who nevertheless sparks something. Even though he can't act and only has about 2.5 different expressions.

Lovelybitofsquirrel3 · 29/01/2025 00:48

I love mark heap

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 29/01/2025 00:49

I watched an old Bette Davis film recently (Dark Victory, 1939 - all very overdramatic nonsense really) and there was an actor that I didn't recognise. I thought he was easy on the eye though. Then in the credits I discovered that the character was played by Ronald Reagan.

Well I guess Nancy had good taste after all!

Professor Brian Cox

No, that’s not embarrassing. Okay, he’s getting on a bit now but a few years back he was lush. I had a real crush on him but then again I am attracted to very smart men.

OneLoyalGreyFish · 29/01/2025 00:57

Michel Roux Jnr
Simon Reeve

Twocrabs20 · 29/01/2025 00:57

Borat. It’s the tash..

BobbyBiscuits · 29/01/2025 00:58

I used to like Louis Theroux in 1999.

When I was very young in the 80s I fancied Tom Hanks, and even younger I fancied Des O'Connor?! Lol.

The actor that plays Dennis Pennis, and the actor that plays Super Hans in peep show, I like those two.

At one point I liked Johnny Vegas, and McKenzie Crook. In a weird way...don't mention 'sex lives of the potato men'. That was like a porno to me 🤣🤣🤣

Perpetuallyperfect · 28/01/2025 22:09

Ross Kemp 🤷‍♀️

All my life it's been Ross Kemp. NOT my type at all. I think it's the walk.

Puffalicious · 29/01/2025 01:01

ilovepixie · 28/01/2025 22:07

Oh yes. And PC Plum from Balamory

I just laughed so hard I think I've woken the teens 😂

Couldbysunny · 29/01/2025 01:04

Jordan Peterson.

Sexy professors gonna tell me off.

Yes i hate myself a little bit. OK a lot.
