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.....
😳

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 🤣🤣🤣

Wtaf? Did you get intensive therapy?

I recently watched Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery on iplayer, he was cute in the 80s when he had hair I'm kinda obsessed with him now! Lovely smile and he can cook!

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.

Strange because I just started to fancy him recently hehe

Is Phil Mitchell classified as embarrassing. He gives me the tingles, always has.

CeceliaImrie · 29/01/2025 22:23

Ben Willbond is not embarrassing he's literally scrumptious.

grimgrinningghost · 29/01/2025 22:36

Finding Steve Carell really attractive as he's gotten older.

Also Jack Black (in The Holiday obviously)

grimgrinningghost · 29/01/2025 22:37

Oh and Greg Davies too :)

Jewelanemone · 29/01/2025 22:44

Dylan Moran in Black Books. Pale and sweaty and smelling of cigarettes.

Benedict Cumberbatch. Had an erotic dream about him ages ago and can still remember it vividly.

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!

Edited

I totally get Ian Fletcher! Love him too.

Also Severus Snape 😬

Ginburee · 29/01/2025 23:23

Late to the party and I don't find them embarrassing.
On my imaginary "list" of people I could cheat with, Martin Clunes and Louis Theroux. Both very attractive and mentally stimulating.

He was in a Catherine Cookson drama when he was younger and I have to say he was extremely attractive in that! May have been the Cinder Path.

It was The Glass Virgin. I posted a picture of him in it earlier in the thread.
I have thought of another one. Jimmy Nail as Spender. I really had a thing for him when I was young.

UndergroundSilo · 29/01/2025 23:36

Kevin Costner, in Yellowstone only ,not so much an embarrassment but a total surprise to me. Never found him attractive when younger, but now age 70 riding around his ranch under the big Montana sky, oh yes!

UndergroundSilo · 29/01/2025 23:43

The lovely Kevin Costner

Peter Mandelson.
Ian Hislop. Actually, I’m not embarrassed about the latter; he seems extremely clever, nice and moral.

Totally with you on Mr Hislop for the same reasons

I think you are right, but I never saw it before. I have missed out big time!

The only politician would be Dominic Raab!
