He is just so funny and so good looking.

I just saw his Kate Bush medley from when he was much younger - has he ever been truly celebrated for how good looking he is?

Yep. I’ve always thought it.

Digitalisaredangerous · 25/08/2025 11:55

Same

Lottapianos · 25/08/2025 11:57

Not really but I get the appeal. He's very funny and very brilliant

Look up The Private Life of Samuel Pepys, OP. That is all I need say.

The wig comes off quite a bit, if I remember correctly.

TraceyDeacy · 25/08/2025 12:17

That’s a relief.

No I never have however his latest film is amazing - The Penguin Lessons

BestIsWest · 25/08/2025 12:43

Oh! I watched Philomena last night. Yes I would.

tartyflette · 25/08/2025 12:43

He was very pretty when he was younger, have to admit i haven't seen a recent photo or performance.

Mydahliasareshit · 25/08/2025 12:47

He is immensely talented, which is attractive in itself. However, reports of his treatment of women and 'civilians' render him an immediate no.
I acknowledge gak and booze may have had something to do with that, back in the day.
He won't have any shortage of offers, so my views are completely irrelevant, even though he has performed my work for a few moments, many years ago 😄

TheBeesTrees · 25/08/2025 12:48

He's a sleeze

TraceyDeacy · 25/08/2025 16:02

Oh no! How sad.

what’s gak @Mydahliasareshit

CharlotteSometimes1 · 25/08/2025 16:03

Nope. He has a reputation

x2boys · 25/08/2025 16:04

His portrayal of Jimmy Saville was brilliant
I don't think he's particularly attractive though.

Pabbel · 25/08/2025 16:06

I enjoyed The Penguin Lessons, but don't like the man.

WaitWhatWhatWait · 25/08/2025 16:08

Nope, not for me.
I'll let you guys fight it out for him 😉

blacksax · 25/08/2025 16:08

Ugh, no. I think he's repulsive.

Sturtium · 25/08/2025 16:08

He’s good looking, but I don’t fancy him, he doesn’t look kind enough for to warm to him.

MiloMinderbinder925 · 25/08/2025 16:11

Fuck no; he's a complete sleaze. I think he's a comic genius but wouldn't go near him.

agoodfriendofthethree · 25/08/2025 16:13

No. Several years ago a good friend of mine met him at a birthday party (SC was friends with the parents of the young woman whose birthday it was). SC spent the whole night being incredibly sleazy, coming onto all the 20 year old women guests all night, not taking no for an answer, and saying things like "I could make you famous" to try to convince them to leave with him. Yuck. My friend was devastated as he'd always thought he was brilliant.

PestoHoliday · 25/08/2025 16:13

His reputation with women isn't exactly stellar.

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 25/08/2025 16:16

Yup

Itiswhysofew · 25/08/2025 16:18

No, I can honestly say I never have. He makes my skin crawl.

I'd switch off rather than watch him.

This is very disappointing to read. I hope he was parodying Harvey Weinstein for his own amusement.
