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.....
😳

Lol 🤣 I couldn't but there is something weirdly attractive about the way he just drapes and lounges hehe

Exactly! There is something about him, can't put my finger on it, but something about him just does it for me. Even though I disagree with a lot of his views.

So weird. I think he gives off asexual energy

Really? 😄😄 something about him screams strong provider

Paddy ' The Baddy' Pimblett
He is a kickboxer, nowhere near my type, but there is something about his confidence and winner mindset that just turns me on ... hahaha

Can anyone explain why Clive Owen is embarrassing? He's been mentioned twice!

Some answers are not related to the question (Clooney, Owen, Ford etc.). Most do get the question (Jacob Rees Mogg.. I mean my goodness 😂)

On the subject of Owen he is great in this

Oh and definitely Claude from The Apprentice! Although sadly, he's gay... But I still would!

Claude isn’t gay! He’s been married to his wife for almost 50yrs.

Ok, this is when I start to feel old as in my eyes /head he's still around 10 years old 😭😂

Steve Coogan .

Not just me then!

FeetLikeFlippers · 30/01/2025 12:51

Romesh Ranganathan. Oh and Miles Jupp, especially when he wears a denim shirt for some bizarre reason.

jenesaispaspourquoi · 30/01/2025 13:36

Re politicians, there's definitely a power thing, and I can overlook arrogance in my fantasy world (eg Macron, Rory Stewart/ Alistair Campbell) but I can't overlook being a downright asshole (Trump / Musk / Johnson etc) 🤢

God yes.......even though I detest moustaches. I first saw him on Taskmaster a few years ago..........smitten ever since.

InSearchOfMartin · 30/01/2025 14:17

Agreed 🤣

Gandalfsthong · 29/01/2025 20:39

Me too! So well turned out too!

I've locked eyes with him in London; the world fell away for a moment.............even though I was with my beloved. I think Bill really likes women, which is attractive...and that voice.

SwizzelsDoubleLollies · 30/01/2025 14:35

Bill Nighy is lovely.

I don't know many of these men so my search history on my computer looks very strange.

veraswaistcoat · 30/01/2025 15:15

Hands off Kevin Maguire 😂 he's mine !

BakewellTart66 · 30/01/2025 15:23

Yes to Mark Carney. I might not always grasp what he's on about, but his intelligence is very sexy.
I'd probably divide my time between him and Philip Glenister (in character as Gene Hunt). Hot and rough, the perfect contrast.

Completely agree with Mark Carney but I fail to see how he's embarrassing. He's handsome, intelligent, powerful and rich!

I had forgotten about him but I completely agree.

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

Ii always wondered what women saw in him until Iwatched the documentary about him. He has charm, he is vulnerable in a boyish way... I suddenly glimpsed it.

@Xenomoth see above as we are both Lex admirers but unless I tag you nobody else is even remotely interested. I hope you get the notification but if you like Lex you've probably already seen it.
