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.....
😳

God yes, Philip Glenister in Life in Mars. Fire up the Quattro!

DCI Gene Hunt - I feel like he would bounce me around the bedroom in a ruthless yet manly seductive manner and I’d be Swooning with a capital S.

Also Ed Balls.

And the way the James Martin says ‘a bit of butter’ then throws a whole pack in the pan makes me quiver.

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

Absolutely agree.

I'm also embarrassingly attracted to Macron.

Harrison Ford? 100% not embarrassing. He is a stone cold hottie.

I met Harrison Ford when DH & I were sitting in a hotel lobby as he was entering a press conference. He gave me a huge smile & said HI ( name) he thought I was someone else. My heart was racing.🤣

No words

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

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 🤣🤣🤣

I always thought David Cameron was quite yum until Brexit..

WitchesCauldron · 29/01/2025 14:03

God yes !

I went to see him in Stragagem a couple of years ago and we were near the front. I love how he can be totally bonkers sometimes and then do some seriously good sensible acting. I also loved watching him chatting away with Rob Brydon in The Trip.
