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.....
😳

I liked Alistair darlings eyebrows and authoritative air, may he rip

Bear in mind I was about 17 when he was last in the cabinet, that was definitely a hard one to explain

I didn't even know he was unalive (we can't use the d word can we). Misses point of the thread.

I think he is the most terrifying , worrying human ever. .
No just no. He is crazy and he unnerves me

That's kinda the charm, isn't it? That, and the intelligence.

Think I'll just crawl under a rock now...

Also, Rory Stewart... thought I was alone until this thread. Real-life spies are just hot and he has a wonderfully-expressive face too.

Elon Musk. I didn't use to be embarrassed about this but I sure am now!!

Frillysweetpea · 29/01/2025 01:06

Another one for Martin Clunes and Greg Davies....

Richard eddington in the 70s/80s.

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

Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle is gorgeous. In fact, DP is very like him, so definitely 🔥. I met RC once & he's bloody lovely.

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.

That's not embarrassing or wierd. He's a handsome man and he seems nice.
I know some people think he's smiles a bit creepy and or he's a little arrogant.. but he's still quite liked by the majority of people so anyone who fancies him is probably not alone by far!

SnowFrogJelly · 29/01/2025 01:07

Greg Davies all day long

Rory stewart is quite hot...
And yeah he's a tory so it's a bit embarrassing if you aren't a tory yourself.. but as tories go he's definitely not the most mental. Seems faintly reasonable. Nowt to be embarrassed about really.

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/01/2025 21:56

There’s nothing embarrassing about Mark Rylance!

I always had a really soft spot for John Thaw, though only with his Inspector Morse hat on. Again, nothing embarrassing about him but I was about 25 when the crush developed!

John Thaw was very sexy. Especially in The Sweeney.
Hairy chest, blue eyes. Hot!!

Princessconsuelabananahammock9 · 29/01/2025 01:11

I'm not embarrassed to find Zelenskyy hot as hell.

Dead. We can say dead on MN.

CeceliaImrie · 29/01/2025 01:16

Oh yes Macron!

Martin thingy off Homes Under the Hammer gives me a tingle in my dingle.

Les Dennis haha yeh!

I had a sex dream about a George Osborne once, made me worry about myself for a while afterward. Don't know if that counts.

TempestTost · 29/01/2025 01:17

I once had a sexy dream about Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister.

Alan Sugar and Cliff Richard

I think a sizeable minority of women have gotten the wrong end of the stick, and rather than listing men who are weird or unconventionally attractive in their own way, they are listing celebrities who clearly would be attractive to many people.

SnowFrogJelly · 29/01/2025 01:20

John Thaw was very sexy.

Had a huge crush on him back in the day

SnowFrogJelly · 29/01/2025 01:20

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

He was gorgeous in 24 Hour Party People.

Elon Musk isn't bad looking and obviously very clever, but utterly deranged.

IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle · 29/01/2025 01:22

Lovelybitofsquirrel3 · 29/01/2025 00:48

I love mark heap

Oh same here.

HereForTheAnimals · 29/01/2025 01:24

I think Macron is quite sexy too OP. I don't know if he's embarrassing, but there is something about Greg Davies for me.
