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.....
😳

Jack Black, I always found him weirdly attractive 😂

BestIsWest · 29/01/2025 14:27

I’d definitely spend time with Keir Starmer.

Chrestomanciscat · 29/01/2025 14:28

Mr spock in the original series. Not leonard nimoy in real life.😎

A younger Kier Starmer? Great hair! Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones Diary was based on him!

! I am learning so much on this thread.
Including how many Rees-Mogg fanciers roam amongst us.

Not really, they tend only to come out at night ….,

MyOpulentDuck · 29/01/2025 14:32

Oh and Moss from the IT Crowd

JasmineTea11 · 29/01/2025 14:41

Macron's super hot, also Justin Trudeau. Phwar. I must have a thing for politician's 😆 NOT Boris though, he's terribly overweight and a prat.

JasmineTea11 · 29/01/2025 14:42

I have it bad for Martin Freeman

LoungeAct · 29/01/2025 14:43

Yes to Ken Stott in Rebus!!
also Kevin McCloud. Had a weird crush on Chris Whitty during covid but thankfully got over that.

Xenomoth · 29/01/2025 14:45

Curtan from ‘ This country’ that’s got to be a niche one right?

InSearchOfMartin · 29/01/2025 14:49

This thread is nuts! I can't see anything fanciable about anyone mentioned, says me who has a crush on Nitro from Gladiators.

InSearchOfMartin · 29/01/2025 14:51

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❤️

Edited

The real hot one was Steve Zodiac from Fireball XL5.

Anton Rogers (RIP)
When he was in may to December years ago and I was in my early 20's I thought I definitely would

Ben Shapiro.

I'm not even joking.

And oh my God, when he wears a sharp suit. Swoon.

I’d add to that Douglas Murray. Maybe the fact he wouldn’t be interested is part of the appeal I don’t know.

My friend fancied him, and also Anthony Hopkins. Not as Lecter, though.

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 29/01/2025 15:06

Alexander Armstrong
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton
Andy Burnham
Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura
Romesh Ranganathan
Jon Richardson
Richard Ayoade
Matt Berry
George Clarke
Victor from Still Game (not the actor just the character)

My first ever crush was the Disney Robin Hood (yes, the fox) but that's still not as bad as me having an outrageous crush on JD Vance - his politics couldn't be more different from mine but I so would, think it's the beard.

lifeonmars100 · 29/01/2025 15:32

I am bloody loving this thread, catching up while watching the latest "The Rest is Politics" with Rory and Alistair😅

BestIsWest · 29/01/2025 15:38

Oh Anton Rogers. He was lovely. And George Baker.

No - was thinking about him...I think he fits in with McKenzie Crook and Stephen Mechant skinny, quirky vibe.

i love Mackenzie Crook in the detectorists . Something v lovely about him.

Melaniais · 29/01/2025 16:27

Justin Trudeau

zingally · 29/01/2025 16:36

James May and Rev. Richard Coles. I'm well aware that the latter is gay though. Oh well!

I have long carried a torch for James May. In fact all three of the Top Gear / Grand Tour guys are attractive in different ways.
This thread just proves the point that beauty is only skin deep because we are obviously attracted to the personality ( or character portrayed)

Itsthatime · 29/01/2025 17:09

Another vote for Chris Whitty.

Tall
Very clever
Socially awkward
Awful dress sense
Someone you would avoid at a party

…..thinking about it, that sounds just like my DH 😀

Howard Donald

Dermot Murnaghan (ITN newsreader)

I used to see Dermot Murnighan lots when i worked in the ITN building -- he is very tall and very easy on the eye - not weird or embarassing at all.
