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.....
😳

Ken Stott

It started years ago in The Vice, and now it's the voice and the grumpiness, and the nose... Take me Ken!

I'm not Barnie. Barnie 🤣 Barbie.

Greg Davies
Philip Glenister (in Life on Mars)

Greg Davies isn't embarrassing! Loads of women I know fancy him!

CrowsInMyGarden · 28/01/2025 22:06

Rik Mayall as Lord Flashheart. Woof.

Mamofteenager · 28/01/2025 22:06

Noel fielding but only in bake off with his lovely selection of jumpers - very strange as he is so the reverse of my normal type.

Also Trevor Eve as Detective Boyd in Waking The Dead. Just thinking of his authority makes me feel weak at the knees 🫣

Chris Whitty, so much so I have a 6 foot cardboard cutout

A few years ago, when this same question was asked, I said Mr Tumble. I don’t feel the same now though 🙂.

Oh yes. And PC Plum from Balamory

bratsummer · 28/01/2025 22:07

unlikelywitch · 28/01/2025 21:54

Not embarrassing but maybe not an obvious choice - Roy Keane.

Yes. It’s the grumpiness for me.

😍🫠 thanks @jenesaispaspourquoi

Ginflinger · 28/01/2025 22:01

Me too. The shame!

I also fancy Steve Coogan!! Even when he played a gay man, in that film with Paul Rudd.... yep still fancied him, maybe even more 😩

BotterMon · 28/01/2025 22:02

Robert Peston

Absolutely. That's not embarrassing.

He's man tottie at its finest 🤣

I was even thing about going to see the band he's in with... Everybody who's names now escape me.

Torres10 · 28/01/2025 22:08

Douglas Henshall in anything 😳

Strawpollplease · 28/01/2025 22:00

Jacob Rees Mogg. Seriously

Get thee to a nunnery!

Mark Rylance. But only when he is playing Cromwell.

12FreeRangeEggs · 28/01/2025 22:09

John Nettles. I am under 50 BTW.

Perpetuallyperfect · 28/01/2025 22:09

Oh agree.

AndThereSheGoes · 28/01/2025 22:09

I'd do Boris.
It's the white blond eyebrows.
I also like public schoolboys. The combination of random idiosyncratic knowledge about everything yet knowing zilch about the normal stuff of life.

creamsnugjumper · 28/01/2025 22:09

fluffyblanky · 28/01/2025 21:40

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

Boris you've been told to not post on here !!

OK. We need a photo.

ClioMuse · 28/01/2025 22:11

DH has met Preston and he's apparently completely up himself - interesting, bright and smart but only interested in himself. Not at all interested in the other people around him (and DH didn't mean himself)

Ilovegermany · 28/01/2025 22:11

Harrison Ford.
