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.....
😳

Mark Rylance.

Yes! But only if he keeps his hat on.

Robert Peston

Yes me too! Something about his floppy hair and scarf. I think he'd be very dry and witty. Always a pleasure when the news flips over to his report.

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

Ooooh, lucky you!

Naw, he'll say it's just because his dogs are the size of a donkey...😉

I love Willian Hague, have done for a long time. Also Lord Flasheart. Wooof!

Hague is ugly but has the most amazing voice. I remember waking up to radio 4 in 1997 and thinking "who is that sexy man". Couldn't believe it when I found out!!

Mr Bates from Downton 🥰

Guilty - I love that slow sexy drawl and same with Mark Rylance.

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

This is Mumsnet, not YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/TikTok etc. We can use all the words here, thank fuck. 😁

ThisFluentBiscuit · 29/01/2025 06:52

I love this thread; it's made me see how normal I am.

ELON MUSK????
BOJO??
REES-MOGG??

I hope the shame is deep in those posters! 😂 Keep your true selves hidden for eternity, lest you be cast out of your families, jobs, and society to live in the forest. And quite right, too!

Barack Obama, Trevor Noah, and Cillian Murphy for me. Like most people who haven't had their brain scrambled by a bang on the head as an infant. 😱

Going to bed in a warm glow of superiority and judgement now! 😂😂😂

IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle · 29/01/2025 01:37

Hasn't he turned into a bonkers conspiracy theory type?

Oh yes, that's why I love him. When he goes off on a rant about something it's irresistible 😍

There's a whole new thread needed for hot dictators. Colonel Gaddafi had a certain something.

I was going to say same about Gaddafi. Dictators give me a unacceptable boner, but I can't help it. Do you think we'll be banned for saying so.

Vitali Klitschko is also very intoxicating.

Steve Coogan .

Me too.

I do think he's intelligent and hilarious.

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!

I once had a great dream that I was one of his students and he took us all on a trip to some castle and I was properly lusting after him and trying to instigate an affair 😆

'I once saw Bill Clinton in the early 90's when he was campaigning for President in the US. He flashed a smile at me and I was smitten. Now, it's a bit embarrassing.'

Me too. He's massive in that American way and the charisma was off the scale. Such swagger and confidence. Lots of politicians around, but all eyes were on BC. I'm fascinate by charisma - good looks can have none and no looks lots of it. It can't be smell because it can come through the t.v. screen at you.

Agreed.

Captain Barnacles 😅 Octonauts fan in the house, by any chance.

The Blippis and Lachlan Wiggle.

It must be because I'm subjected to them daily. More confusing than embarrassing, though.

The 2nd Blippi makes TikToks that I can't seem to not watch....

Those TikToks are so cute.

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

Good to know! I would also go for Zelensky and Greg Davies.

I had quite the thing for Terry Venebles when I was in my twenties.

Me too.
And Terry Wogan. Actually, I can't remember a time that I didn't have a thing for Terry Wogan.

Gordon Brown

Yes, I get this. Dark and brooding. I imagine sitting in the dark with him, glass of whisky in hand, listening to Leonard Cohen.
