I have developed an inexplicable crush on Uncle Fester.
I've had a few odd crushes over the years but this one is by far the oddest.
Does anyone else get weird crushes for absolutely no good reason?

Robin Hood? …(as in the Disney fox version…) 🙈🙈

Oh come on, everyone in the world has a crush on Disney Robin Hood. It’s not even faintly unusual.

I was all set to confess my crush on Peter Dinklage, but you've definitely beat that!

How is Peter Dinklage a wierd crush? He's very handsome!

Oneearringlost · 16/05/2025 19:57

Gary Oldman is my dirty crush, specifically as Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses.

OMG, I was going to say Robert Carlyle but yours!!

Also agree that Peter Dinkledge is.lush. I dated a guy with achondroplasia in my twenties who looked a bit like him.

Robert Carlyle.......
I sat next to him once at a bar in the Charlotte Street Hotel. He looked very tired and a bit fed up. He had a ciggie. This was before the smoking ban.

Bandit, Bluey's Dad. He's the epitome of my perfect man 👨 ❤️

For me, it’s Lucky’s Dad all the way. I love a man dog who can take control of a Pass the Parcel game!

BlindMedusa · 16/05/2025 20:00

No judgement here! As mine are ...
Kermit the Frog
Johnny Bravo
Yes Robin Hood fox too but I think for a cartoon fox its been established that that crush is normal 🤣

CharlesPetrescu · 16/05/2025 19:33

My crush on Jeremy Paxman back in the day seems relatively normal now. 😂

Paxman was on the front cover of Cosmo as " Thinking woman's crumpet ". I kept that edition for quite a long time. 😄

Yeah it’s the voice mostly.

Voices are underrated as sexually attractive traits in males.

Who is Uncle Fester?

Oh lord, I'm just imagining someone thinks I have an uncle called Fester. I'm not that weird 😂
He's a character from the Addams family.

I’m reading all these out to DH and DS(age 26) and we are dying laughing at some s

But this one? “Mum, there is not one but TWO films that are thinly disguised middle aged women fantasies about Harry Styles. If you are an actual demographic, there’s nothing fringe about it”

😂😂😂😂😂

Yes I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Im afraid it’s predictable but it’s about as wild as it gets with me.

MrsSkylerWhite · 16/05/2025 20:15

Inspector Morse. Miserable git though he was.

whengodwasarabbit1 · 16/05/2025 20:15

Does anyone remember Mr bloom and meet the veggies, I always thought he was hot!
Also I would deffo snog Jeremy corbyn.

Catsandcannedbeans · 16/05/2025 20:16

I thought the animated wolf from the dreamworks film Bad Guys was a bit of sort?? For an animated wolf? If I was an animated anthropomorphic animal he would be my man for sure. Good looks and charming.

I didn’t think he was hot but YES I do remember him!

He needed a better haircut but a few of the veggies were kind of hot.

WavyRavey · 16/05/2025 20:22

Is it in Addams Family where he gets married to the crazy pastel lady, cos I totally understand 😂

Most of my weird crushes are video game characters

coxesorangepippin · 16/05/2025 20:24

😂

Oh, if we're going for too old how about Charles Dance? 😍

Oh yes, in the "Jewel in the Crown". Lovely in the army uniform.

Oh for sure. I am not attracted to them exactly, but I hold Monty Don, Bill Nighy, Roger Allam and others in high regard because of their voices. I could listen to some of them talk all day.

CatCaretaker · 16/05/2025 20:32

Paul Giamatti, but you win.

Also love Peter Dinklage, whoever said that.

Noshowlomo · 16/05/2025 20:32

Brian Blessed 👌🏼

Chilliandbanana · 16/05/2025 20:37

I realised my maternity leave had to end and I had to get back to adult interaction every day when I realised I had developed a rather large crush on Mr Tumble! I wanted to watch his show more than my DD 🤭🤭

Which films would they be? (Asking for a friend)

Agree on voices. Developed a bit of a crush on a friend once after he rang me and I noticed he sounded like an English Josh Brolin.

Re celebrities, I'm not sure but I'm watching the football right now and Unai Emery is looking attractive. Kind of South American dictator/Bond villain vibes.

One is The Idea Of You - Anne Hathaway ends up in a fling with a knitwear-clad British boy band member.

I’m not sure which the other is, but A Family Affair is an older woman (Nicole Kidman) having a thing with the fading star (Zac Efron) her daughter works for. So maybe that’s what he meant (he’s out at the moment)

I used to have a thing for Hans in Frozen. Yes that’s right, a cartoon character 😳

Oh no! Surely the tousle haired Kristoff? 😊
