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.....
😳

I've always loved Tommy Lee Jones. 🤷‍♀️

Hot AF, in a grumpy and wrinkly sort of way

Hands off Kevin Maguire 😂 he's mine !

Nooo!! I bagged him first lol 🤣 I just looked up his age, can't believe he's 64!

I've never heard of half of these blokes.

And I don't believe people actually fancy the orange one. I'm also dubious about whether Melania did. Was he ever 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.

Part of the appeal of Boris J is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. (Although that was a pretty disastrous flaw in a Prime Minister obviously. He should never have left the back benches). He's not in a position to pontificate or moralise or have that horrible smugness that makes so many people unappealing. He knows he's done disgraceful things and he kind of owns it.

Steve Tyler. Yes, he's nearly 80 but he's improved with age.

GalileoFigaro · 29/01/2025 22:56

Same. Hot AF. Especially about 10 years ago

Yep he aged well and got better for years. He's not quite so lovely these days but back in the top gear days I definitely would.

Takao Osawa, but only as the great general in the Kingdom live action movies, it's the armour, his attitude, that twinkle in his eyes and that little laugh he does.

Peter Crouch although he probably isn’t an embarrassing option
Tall, gangly, goofy and seems quite fun

No, why would you say that?

I am mortified.

Amol rajan. The cheeky smile, the intelligence, the self-confidence.

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

Some of these are just 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rik Mayall
Greg Davies
High Laurie
Clive Owen

What the hell are posters embarrassed about

Finita67 · 30/01/2025 23:03

Claude from the Apprentice. It's the looks that he gives.

Masaaki Sakai, titular star of Monkey 🐒

Still got a childhood crush on Virgil Tracey ❤️

I preferred Scott Tracey, those eyebrows.
Tomas Schakanafer the weatherman when he had long hair during lockdown. He looked like a 1970s pornstar.

AInightingale · 31/01/2025 00:11

Apparently the late Queen was a massive fan of Tomas S the weatherman...

weareallcats · 31/01/2025 00:14

I have not read the thread, so he may already have been mentioned, but it is very important that I tell you that I fancy the pants off Matt Berry before the thread is full!

weareallcats · 31/01/2025 00:17

Also Chris Pratt before he got all sexy and was still a bit fat - much preferred him then.

veraswaistcoat · 31/01/2025 00:28

They say Javier Bardem is ugly but he is ❤️ also Benicio del Toro - yes please!

Xenomoth · 31/01/2025 06:41

Redheadedstepchild · 30/01/2025 18:36

@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.

No, I’ve not seen it and will very much enjoy watching it later-thank you!

@Smallsalt The Liverpool comedian with all the teeth.

Ken Dodd or John Bishop? 😂

Very good looking but too feminine for my taste to be fanciable I'm afraid.

Who say Javier is ugly?? He's gorgeous

Benicio reminds me of Fred West 🙃
