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.....
😳

Richard Osman, with beard. Love him, his presenting style, his quiz show and his books! And he's really tall! He's the whole package, I'm not embarrassed at all!

MrsMitford3: Our eyes met and he gave me a thumbs up-I was honestly weak at the knees, he had some powerful charisma (and I don't otherwise find him remotely attractive-the power of power?)

Wow! I think I would have passed out. Did he have a cigar in his pocket?

@Smallsalt The Liverpool comedian with all the teeth.

Ken Dodd or John Bishop? 😂

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?

Its Florence of Belgravia which is even better

I second this! Also used to have a think for Tony Robinson.

I'm SO GLAD I'm not alone on this one. He has a twinkle!

Bandit Heeler.

He's a perfect specimen of a man...

Chilli puts up with a lot.

So did my mum!!

Quacking4it · 29/01/2025 12:07

David Mitchell😂😳something about the humour.
And Louis Theroux

CeceliaImrie · 29/01/2025 12:09

Most of these aren't at all embarrassing.

Whoever put Colonel Gadaffi 😩🤣

UrsulaBelle · 29/01/2025 12:11

Benson Boone. I know, I know but he's younger than my youngest child. Blush
I don't like the ratty moustache or the hair but, my goodness, when he backflips off the piano and struts about in those trousers.

CeceliaImrie · 29/01/2025 12:12

I'm shocked at how many of have had sex dreams about a George Osborne. Mine was quite vivid as I recall. What has he done to deserve this?!

CeceliaImrie · 29/01/2025 12:13

Don't know where that unnecessary 'a' came from.

Tomatocutwithazigzagedge · 29/01/2025 00:01

I totally would too! He oozes charisma.

Javier Botet and Iggy Pop are my secret lusts.

It's Iggy Pop's smile and laugh that I love

He hasn’t any right to that….

👀👀

Iluvchristmasbargains · 29/01/2025 12:58

Noel Edmonds. And the fact that nobody has mentioned him yet means that I am right and my friends are wrong - he’s a hottie and not embarrassing at all…

billycat321 · 29/01/2025 13:02

Mickael Gorbachev

I'm laughing at people who were bona fide hearthrobs for my generation (Harrison Ford, Bryan Ferry, Anthony Stewart Head for eg) now being relegated to the status of weird crush and cited alongside the likes of Rees Mogg.

I feel really old Grin

It's not that. I think a lot of posters have missed the point.

Mark Carney. Handsome and personally enjoyed his power over the forward interest rate curve (bit niche maybe!).

@TheFanciestPants I came here to say Mark Carnegie and really expected to be the only one! Everything you said plus a lovely voice and charming demeanour.
