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.....
😳

Rory Kinnear, Rafe Spall and Ben Willbond (plays The Captain on Ghosts). But my lifelong passion has been for George Clooney - known in this house as gorgeous George - which is not an embarrassing one if you are as old as I am 😂

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

🤣 it's the ugly sexy look

GustyGertie · 29/01/2025 20:51

Looks like there's someone for everyone. I feel like I could pick any bloke and someone would claim him!

Anyone for..

Walter Raleigh?
Mr Bean?
Terry from Terry and June?
Zammo?

😃

I have always found Wesley Snipes quite cringey, since my teens. Didn’t stop me from fancying him.
Still think he’s a bad actor. But he could totally get it. 🫣

tcheky karyo

Mike Wozniak

Also, Tommy Lascelles as played by Pip Torrens in The Crown

Oh yes! He rather captivated me in that too... must be all that stiff upper lip with distinct unplumbed smouldering depths...mmmmm, yum.

Whatisfordinner · 29/01/2025 21:05

Mike Wozniac from junior taskmaster. Tell me it's not just me!

Abracadabra12345 · 29/01/2025 21:06

Chrestomanciscat · 29/01/2025 14:28

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

I'd agree!

Abracadabra12345 · 29/01/2025 21:08

Wingingit247 · 29/01/2025 18:12

I reckon I have a “hot” contender here, Peter Dinklage, but only as Tyrion Lannister, it’s that intelligence and acerbic wit…

I was just going to post Peter Dinklage and I like him in ALL his roles!

Abracadabra12345 · 29/01/2025 21:09

littlemisspigg · 29/01/2025 18:29

Olivier Veran, ex- french health minister.....ooooooffffff

That IS hot 🥵

December77 · 29/01/2025 21:14

Ahmed al-Sharaa? Specifically since early December 2024.

Abracadabra12345 · 29/01/2025 21:15

Whatisfordinner · 29/01/2025 21:05

Mike Wozniac from junior taskmaster. Tell me it's not just me!

It's not just you. I'm watching him as a contestant in Taskmaster and he's mesmerising without an embarrassed bone in his body.

ElChapo · 29/01/2025 21:25

This one has not been mentioned so probably seriously weird but Paul Sinha ‘The Sinnerman’ from the chase

and this one definitely not weird but Pierce Brosnan now. Definitely not as James Bond but as a 70 odd year old man now phwoarrrr!

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 29/01/2025 21:27

Polkadotbabushka · 29/01/2025 20:41

Do you mean he is a big dick?! 😂

😄😄 I don't, I mean he might be but he also seems really strong and like he'd take care of you 🥰🙈

BoldAmberDuck · 29/01/2025 21:31

Newsenmum · 28/01/2025 21:45

Zelensky. Such a strong attraction.

My friend likes Elon musk and she hates herself.

Definitely agree on Zelensky

NewBrightonEel · 29/01/2025 21:34

GustyGertie · 29/01/2025 20:04

🤣🤣

I saw him on a daytime programme when I was pregnant and liked his sense of humour and then thought "oh actually he's quite fit" - I blame the hormones 😂

DreamySloth · 29/01/2025 21:37

This is so embarrassing but Beetlejuice since I was about 12.

Laylay100 · 29/01/2025 21:39

Gary Lineker....

PermanentTemporary · 29/01/2025 21:41

Gary Lineker? Not embarrassing to fancy him, he was a hot footballer in his day, he's still got it now IMO, and he has shagged his way through enormous numbers of women. Allegedly.

CrowleyKitten · 29/01/2025 21:42

Catsandcannedbeans · 29/01/2025 02:28

James May… I love his YouTube tutorials of making sandwiches

met him many years back. he used to write articles about my mums teddy bear restorations. her friend REALLY fancied him.
I don't remember a lot about him from the time, as he wasn't on TV then, as far as I was aware, but he always seemed really nice

ThistleTits · 29/01/2025 21:43

fluffyblanky · 28/01/2025 21:40

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

Alright there BJ lol 😆
He looks like he's made from scrap parts 😳

SwizzelsDoubleLollies · 29/01/2025 21:44

Laylay100 · 29/01/2025 21:39

Gary Lineker....

I had pictures all over my bedroom of him as a teenager as well as Bros.

I don't fancy Gary now or Matt Goss like I did back in the day.

CrowleyKitten · 29/01/2025 21:45

Woodworm2020 · 29/01/2025 07:21

Little finger from the game of thrones. Irresistible

Did you ever watch Queer as Folk back in the day. he had it then, and he's not lost it.

Sean Paul 😆
