Embarrassing men you find secretly sexy

[jenesaispaspourquoi]

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.....
😳

Brendan Coyle is gorgeous!

I remember seeing him in North and South years ago. Ooft!!

Kevin McCloud - 🫣

I had a lot of crushes on older, often way older, men in my teens. Phil Collins (this was the 80s….breaks my heart to see him now), John Thaw, Michael Caine. More recently Hugh Bonneville as Ian Fletcher in 2012 and W1A…Hugh is cute but it’s Ian I want…and not in a good way! I wouldn’t say no to Martin Clunes either. Edited to add Michael Portillo….others have owned up to this so I don’t feel so bad. I met him at a book signing and he was absolutely charming.

My ultimate crush was my first boss in my first serious job….we’re married now!

Andy from CBeebies 😶‍🌫️

I live near him and his daughter went to primary school with mine. He’s as lovely as he seems and very shy actually

Krishnan Guru-Murthy

Jimmy Carr

Simon Cowell, especially in his X Factor days.

Roger Allam as Fred Thursday, narrating Sarah and Duck...any way really, I just love him

Gary Oldman as his character in Slow Horses (😳)

Stanley Tucci and Marcus Wareing also but think they are attractive men so not embarrassing!

Paddy O Connell on Radio 4, although I'm very much not his type.

Love him.on a weekend edition of Newscast :-)

Noel Coward said

If he (Peter O'Toole) had been any prettier it would have been Florence of Arabia

I see someone else said Belgravia but it's an easy one to get mixed up. I can see why Rory Stewart is a weird crush, but O'Toole as TE Lawrence, and actually TE Lawrence himself, absolutely not a weird crush.

Boris, Uncle Joe, and Biden absolutely definitely weird!

Not Biden!!! 😳

Agree with you on Bradley Walsh 😂

Remembered.even more from my younger days (90s)
Chris Tarrent,
Richard Branson
Jarvis Cocker
Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez
Jeremy Kyle
Richard Madeley

Just shameful (some a lot more than others) Think I had blocked them out.

I've always loved Tommy Lee Jones. 🤷‍♀️

Comedian David Earl, and I'm afraid to say, Matt Hancock.

It's the silver fox look, oh yeah!

Meh I preferred the one with floppy ears in Dogtanian and the three muskahounds

I’ve been reading Mumsnet for well over a decade. Must’ve had four different user names over the years, because I never seem to be able to recover them or remember which email I’ve used. I very rarely post. This is my favourite post EVER. You look delighted with your little Whitty standy. I can’t stop grinning. 😆

So as to not derail the thread, though: my odd crush, you tell me how embarrassing that is, is Kevin McCloud. So random. 😂

Tom Jones. not sure if it’s embarrassing though

I went to see the new Nosferatu two weeks ago and I can't get Count Orlok's mustache out of my mind! 🤣 Tall, nice facial hair, fancy coat and a castle in the countryside. What's not to love! If we forget he's literally an evil undead medieval warlord, that is. But we all have our flaws, right?😬
(In my defense he looked nice only as long as he was in the shadows.)

I find Adam Driver unattractive, but also want to sleep with him. I don't get it.

Roger Allam's voice is lush!
