Can anyone outweird my secret crush?!

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?

Yeah it’s the voice mostly.

Voices are underrated as sexually attractive traits in males.

Yes definitely, this is why I have a thing for Shere Khan in the original Jungle Book and Dr Brown Bear in Peppa Pig Wink

Alan Rickman as Professor Snape was hot too. I would love to have his voice on my sat nav!

It’s because it’s Mark Rylance! Who is hot…..

I thought @Janie1962 was referring to the cartoon BFG, not the CGI one, and that was David Jason not Mark Rylance.

Oh no! Surely the tousle haired Kristoff? 😊

He was cute too, but I think I preferred Hans as he was a bit of a posh boy😄

I was wondering if anyone would be mad enough to admit to Rees Mogg. i remain disappointed although unsurprised.

Definitely Mackenzie Crook. And Billy Bob Thornton.

Billy Bob Thornton is definitely sexy.

I used to have the hots for the beast in Disney's beauty and the best. I thought he was much sexier like that before he turned into the prince 😜

LittleBitofBread · 16/05/2025 18:20

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

There’s nothing weird about that, the man is a god (with incredible hair)

A few years ago someone on Mumsnet admitted to this and then a thread of Tumble/Justin Fletcher-themed erotica... happened. Do NOT search for this unless you have a plentiful supply of brain bleach.

I have to add to the roll call of weird Tory crushes (I have never voted for them in my life) with... Rory Stewart. Blush

Rory’s a closet Lib Dem. I think he’s pretty much said that recently.

Back in my teens I had crushes on Martin Clunes, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson...😳

Yes ugly sexy. Same with Ben Stiller.

Tramp from Lady and the Tramo definitely informed my later preferences.

I used to have a crush on Jaws from James Bond. Yes, really.

I thought you meant the shark on first read 😁

Long time lurker , not posted before , my secret crush is SHREK , i think he’s cute , in fact I know a few that look like him

He has a sexy accent. I'm loving this thread 😅

Laflamablanca · 17/05/2025 08:50

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 🤣

Yeah I'm with you on this, Johnny Bravo was hot. I also absolutely loved sonic the hedgehog, but I'm more of a knuckles girl now

I've always liked geeky, funny guys tbh...the Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of the the world leave me cold.

I'd have a crack at Pedro Pascal though

Ohgodohgod · 17/05/2025 12:31

justmeandmyselfandi · 17/05/2025 08:31

Charisma sexy. See also Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder in Justified. Although with Billy Bob I think a lot of it is the voice.

Broadly speaking me too. And to be fair Blackadder is a total fox. Especially in the second series.

My terrible Blackadder crush is Hugh Laurie as Prince George.

Oh me actually!! Quite a lot - and even when I was quite young ( and he was still old).

You guys are tapping the wellspring of my inner fantasises. I normally have to shrug through these threads .

Bit just me then! I was young too.. I remember fancying him in The Great Song Of Indifference music video, I think was 8!
Not long after that Take That came along and blew my little teenage hormones into overdrive, but now I’m an adult I’m back to fancying Bob, men with long hair in general I find sexy.

cannaecookrisotto · 17/05/2025 13:38

Bane in the Dark Knight Returns 😱.

I think it’s because it’s:
a) Tom Hardy
b) the deep voice
c) the sheer size of him
d) the way he protects Ra’s Al Guls daughter

I know it’s wrong but I cannae help it!!

Amazing. I’m not drawn to him as Prince George but Dr House is grubby hot.

Oh yes definitely! Much better than his ganglier days and I think the faintly Byronic garb helped!

I just misread this as "I would love to havs sat on his voice" and spent at least a minute by the clock trying to picture what you meant
