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.....
😳

Some of these make me feel a whole lot better about my Claes bang admiration. Elon musk??? Really?? His face always looks like he’s doing a poo

Claes Bang, not weird at all, he is the most gorgeous man alive! 😍

Jürgen Klopp

With the teeth on the Trivago ad ? 😂

I've always liked William Hague the politician 😬 a bit like Max Branning 😂

Mittens67 · 02/02/2025 01:41

I was playing a game with a friend recently:
Trump, Musk, Farage. You must shag one of them.
We both decided we would rather have it sewn up before touching any of them but seems like Musk would win with a few pp here!

Professor Brian Cox

Nothing embarrassing about him - he’s attractive

PermanentTemporary · 02/02/2025 06:36

Trump Musk Farage? Oh Christ (literal prayer).

Oh yes now you mention, I used to like William Hague. So funny how we're secretly swooning for all these politicians 😁

LarasLupins · 02/02/2025 11:54

I've always liked Gordon Brown, something comforting about him

canyouseemyhousefromhere · 02/02/2025 12:51

I agree with Philip Glennister,

I’ll add Tim (from The Apprentice)
Alan Davis
Alan Rickman

all very different but enigmatic, sexy

i need a cold shower 🥵

I don’t think Philip Glenister or Alan Rickman are embarrassing?

They’re conventionally attractive (or quite close to), surely?

I used to think he was much too dour - but in Comic Relief 2011 he showed himself a good sport and my opinion of him changed slightly

I hate tattoos, but theres a guy on facebook named Scott Berends with tattoos all over his face. He isn't deaf but he signs to lots of songs. I just watched him sign to the sound of silence and now I am besotted by him.

Chonkadoodle · 02/02/2025 13:42

Ian Hislop. I was watching him speak to Andrew Marr recently thinking omg I fancy this man.

Devilgate · 02/02/2025 14:01

Ok I did find Boris Johnson quite sexy in the Covid lockdown times. We needed a confident person to take the helm at the time - and he was it. On that note -

“Next slide please…..”

I remember Professor Chris Whitty being the object of much female desire during the lockdowns. Not mine though - preferred Rishi.

It has always been a mystery to me how people in this country can have fallen for Boris Johnson's act as they did and still do. He was so obviously always a liar, a gaslighter and a charlatan, only ever out for himself. "A confident person at the helm"? 🙄 He went with whatever got him the most votes, careless of the lives of others, including during Covid. "Let the bodies pile high", anyone?

People on MN like to talk about critical thinking but I find most voters radically deficient in this area.

WhatterySquash · 02/02/2025 14:45

Trump, Musk, Farage. You must shag one of them.

oh no, not something I ever thought I’d say but it would have to be Farage! Blush
He’s the only one of those three that comes across as vaguely human and like he might have a modicum of respect for women.

I’m sure Trump and Musk will be devastated but there it is.

That's like an anti-prize in a dark game show. Like a bush tucker trial.

AndThereSheGoes · 02/02/2025 16:35

Snog (shag) , marry, avoid ....

Musk, Farage, Trump in that order.

The game is a lot harder than I thought though.

Another couple.
Chris Whitty.
Sketch from Tattoo Fixers. He is nothing out of the ordinary to look at, but he has a certain something.

You guys are kidding? Chris Whitty looks like Gollum!
