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.....
😳

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

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

Gone. Too. Far.

I get the Elon thing too. Even though I'm 98% sure he's an intergalactic alien.

Oh good! Hope you enjoy this @bratsummer Grin

Zelensky. Such a strong attraction.

My friend likes Elon musk and she hates herself.

Nothing embarrassing about Zelensky! He is attractive in many ways. Smile

Now if you had said Putin! 😂

I agree with the poster who said Jeremy Clarkson. Not conventionally handsome, and sooo many reasons to dislike him, and yet, he would be high up in my top 10 men to go on a hiking/camping weekend with! 😆

A few posters have said Mark Rylance. Genuinely don't know who that is.

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

Not embarrassing but maybe not an obvious choice - Roy Keane.

Hi Carrie

Have you got an assistance dog?

Professor Brian Cox

Greg Davies
Philip Glenister (in Life on Mars)

LostittoBostik · 28/01/2025 21:55

My answer is Bill Nighy. He's a lot older than my dad, but I absolutely would

weaselwords · 28/01/2025 21:55

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.

Not weird - he's just straight up hot

OctoRay · 28/01/2025 21:56

@Lentilweaver Mark Rylance is a nice guy. Friendly and kind. I worked at the Globe when he was there - while ago now!

thearchers · 28/01/2025 21:56

Oh and Rowan Atkinson, but only in Blackadder 2!

Oh he makes me think of James Blunt 🤮

During the coalition I quite fancied a 3some with David Cameron and Nick Clegg…
I can’t even say it out loud, I’m so ashamed 🤣🤣🤣

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!

Oh yeah. Something about him isn't there?! I loved him as Geoffrey Grainger in Auf Wiedersehen Pet! Smile
