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.....

Ooh yes, yum! Didn't notice him til I saw the vid of him in the ring dancing to DNB in his tiny shorts 🔥

(This video ladies, enjoy!) 😍

Sean Bean is absolutely not embarrassing!

In my teens and twenties (now in my 70's) it was Cliff Richard 🤣😱

I thought mine was bad (Vladimir Putin!) But then I see someone has mentioned Jacob Rees-Mogg and I don't feel as bad...

Mark Rylance.

Me too - but I'd argue that's not in the least bit 'embarrassing'! He's erudite, mysterious and talented.

JoanCollinsDiva · 29/01/2025 10:42

I like Boris Johnson, Elon Musk and JD Vance - I'd totally shag them all.

Id have shagged Donald in his younger days too. I think I'm clearly drawn to powerful men!

Greg Davies.
Alistair Campbell.

Oh he makes me think of James Blunt 🤮

Also dislike Brian Cox, he looks waxy and dribbly

SushiWarrior · 29/01/2025 11:03

When I was 13/14 I had a massive embarrassing first crush type thing for Laurence lewellyn- Bowen and Jonathan Ross. Absolutely NO idea why!!

placemats · 29/01/2025 11:16

Several months ago I had an extremely sexy dream about George Osborne. We were both younger and the chemistry between us was extraordinary. He was very generous. Every now and then, in a moment of clarity, I kept thinking how woman, how?

I too found Alistair Darling attractive looking.

I'm not attracted to Rachel Reeves.

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

Well I think so too but most people think I’m insane! He just has this look in his eyes and energy and you can tell he is intelligent. I’m glad he is lovely - because he is damn fine at playing psychos!

Fernticket · 29/01/2025 11:16

In no particular order....
Ben Miller.
Mark Rylance.
Chris Packham
Craig Revel-Horwood
Patrick from Sewing Bee.

@lcakethereforeIam
You are not alone. My childhood crush was Scott and an ex-colleague of mine also had a childhood crush on Virgil.
FAB❤️

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 29/01/2025 11:17

david platt on coronation street, maybe he is just attractive because he is funny

Needhelp101 · 29/01/2025 11:18

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 28/01/2025 21:33

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

Alistair Darling (RIP) was actually a proper fox when he was young!

BestIsWest · 29/01/2025 11:19

But having a crush on Patrick Grant isn’t embarrassing- he’s lovely!

TheSidewinderSleepsTonite · 29/01/2025 11:19

George w bush. I would never admit this in this real life 😆😆

Do you mean Paul Eddington?

If so yes!! Saw him on stage in the 1980s (I must have been about 15 😬), hadn't given him much thought before, but it was like Wham! Hugely attracted!

If you don't mean Paul Eddington it's just me then!! 😬😳

Oops yes, I did mean Paul Eddington. Not just you! Jerry Leadbetter waving curry fumes around, Yes Minister, the Camomile Lawn. Tall, clever, funny. I was v sad when he died. I would have loved to see him on stage. I was also about 15 when I started my crush and it what led me to find The Good life reruns.

Nobiggerthanyourhand · 28/01/2025 21:56

Rory Stewart

Same. But heard a nickname for him that made me laugh out loud- Florence of Arabia.

And worryingly almost all of the names on this thread Blush
They're mainly intelligent and or powerful aren’t they. I’d definitely draw the line at Boris.
Has anyone posted pics of young Stalin and Biden?

BestIsWest · 29/01/2025 11:28

Funny, I was just thinking of a young Biden. See also Clinton and Obama.
