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.....
😳

David Cameron
Tom Bradby
James Murray (Murr off Impractical Jokers)
Volodymyr (sp?) Zelensky
The guy on Cbeebies who did Mr Blooms Nursery (don't know his actual name!)
Clive Owen (especially when he was in Closer 2003 ish)
Sacha Baron Cohen
Bradley Walsh has something about him too.....!!!

I know I'm weird 😂

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/01/2025 22:29

Actually yes, Chris Mason. On the face of it, meh, Mr. Average (purely looks-wise, not intellectually, obviously. one smart cookie). But I imagine he could really make you laugh and that’s sexy as hell.

The character of Max the pathologist in Endeavour. Played by James Bradshaw. I love his quiet determination to see the beauty in life, despite the horrors he sees in his profession.

WhatterySquash · 28/01/2025 22:29

Oh an Amol Rajan! Is that weird or is he hot? He's about half my height as well.

BrassyLocks · 28/01/2025 22:30

As a teen I crushed on David Owen.

Yesss Trevor Eve but only as Boyd! See my post above about the police detective thing 😆

Yeah, Trevor Eve is an absolute tool in real life.

I genuinely can't see the attraction of Elon at all. Looks and character wise he's very "off".

HeartandSeoul · 28/01/2025 22:31

Another one…. Joe Lycett!

Mark Carney. Handsome and personally enjoyed his power over the forward interest rate curve (bit niche maybe!

Oh yes, absolutely!

ladygindiva · 28/01/2025 22:32

Steve Backshall. Don't tell the kids 🤣

ZiggyZowie · 28/01/2025 22:32

Robert Peston

Or Pesto as my pet name for him.

He's just ,well, kinda cute

Finita67 · 28/01/2025 22:14

Jay Rayner.

I read somewhere that Rachel Johnson said the Johnson men are all very well hung.....

I don't even want to start thinking about how she could know that.

ThunderThighs123 · 28/01/2025 22:32

Robert Carlyle and Sam Rockwell. Such sexy energy. Definitely would!

Writerbiter · 28/01/2025 22:33

Max Branning from EastEnders.

Saw a tweet basically saying he was sexy, not hot and that summed it up nicely. I can see why Stacy was banging her father in law.

IdaGlossop · 28/01/2025 22:24

Not at all interested in other people. An interesting characteristic for a journalist.

Too interested in his own opinions says DH.

Very lucky with DH though 😁 so no need to look elsewhere 😉

Boris Johnson is weirdly attractive

He really isn’t, unless you have a thing for overweight labradors that fart a lot.

HeartandSeoul · 28/01/2025 22:35

I saw the episode of Doc Martin with Roger Lloyd Pack, and thought he was very handsome. Sadly, he is no longer with us though.

Also Bill Nighy.

AInightingale · 28/01/2025 22:36

Jacob Rees Mogg is strangely attractive.

Tcateh · 28/01/2025 22:37

Steve Pemberton

PermanentTemporary · 28/01/2025 22:37

Michael Gove. There's quite an intense focus and extroversion in him, plus he's clearly complex. I would definitely give him a go.

Johnson on the other hand, bleurgh.

Nothing weird about fancying Peter Capaldi.

The character of Max the pathologist in Endeavour. Played by James Bradshaw. I love his quiet determination to see the beauty in life, despite the horrors he sees in his profession.

May we share him?
The scene when Endeavour compliments his garden and he says along the lines of when life is so ugly, we all need something beautiful. Fell madly in love at that moment too!

Along the same lines, would also offer up Fred Thursday. (not Roger Allam, who is clearly bloody gorgeous, but the character).

Alifetimeofdiagnoises · 28/01/2025 22:37

Always had a weird thing for Simon Pegg 😳 I have often fancied gingers, sadly never been with one.

Birthdaycakewithwine · 28/01/2025 22:38

Has anyone ever seen a picture of a young Stalin???
Oh my..

I've met Michael Gove. And I found him surprisingly attractive.

John Nettles. I am under 50 BTW.

I was coming on here to say John Nettles! Especially when he was a bit younger. I’m also under 50….

SprinkleOfSunak · 28/01/2025 22:38

I’ve read through these and agree with so many of you! I’m quite worried about how many of these men I find hot though.
