Has Steve Coogan become more attractive with age, or is it the heat?

I am watching legends on Netflix, I dont know if the heat (just central scotland but, boy im feeling it 🥵) or the 2 glasses of red wine is making me think this, but has steve coogan got nice looking in his older years? 😬😬😬. Think i might need to lay off the wine when its hot! 🤣🤣😬

Erm. I think it’s the heat. But he’s not a bad looking bloke. I think that character is very appealing though - something about his honesty and loyalty to his team?

It’s the heat. Have a cold shower

He's always been ok looking/handsome

I understand he's a womaniser though so that is unattractive.

Watched the new Alan Partridge thing last night though, hilarious, really really funny.

Havent seen any good comedy for ages, comedians these days are just too tame.

Just imagine him getting chocolate mousse on the valance whilst attempting intercourse, it’ll soon cool your ardour.

Mostlywilliow · 25/06/2026 20:14

I’ve always fancied the arse off him.

localnotail · 25/06/2026 20:14

I guess objectively he is a good looking guy, but I would never be able to get past Alan Partridge!
Edited to add: he's also intelligent and very funny, so I'm not surprised he's popular with ladies...

I agree OP he is very attractive in Legends. First thought of him as attractive in Philomena.

While discussing pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre...

It’s the heat, I can only see Alan.

ZenNudist · 25/06/2026 20:17

He's very good in legends and Jimmy Saville and 24 hour party people was him too. I quite like his true story acting. I hated Alan P and don't fancy him but he's not a bad looking man. It's like PP said: partridge is a boner killer.

YES!! I think thats where the ewwwww not steve coogan, you can't fancy him? 🤣 came from. I better keep this secret here mind you or everyone i know will be folded laughing at me 🤭.

I don’t find him at all attractive but I think that might be because I have extremely vague memories of stories about him being a wanker but if you were to ask me what they were I couldn’t tell you. I just know that whenever I see him on screen I always think “wanker”. This might be massively unfair!

However, Legends is very good.

PhaseFour · 25/06/2026 20:19

I've fancied him for years.

Flannelfeet · 25/06/2026 20:20

Yeah I keep going back to that 😖

Courtney Love never watched Alan Partridge!

I read a thread on here ages ago which was about odd crushes and Steve Coogan came up a lot. Everyone agreed that he would be up for absolutely everything and anything in bed in a completely non-presured way.

I think he's quite attractive, not when he's Alan partridge though

AbsoluteHoot · 25/06/2026 20:23

I’ve always found him attractive. He’s not bad looking, he’s talented, clever and very funny. Those things all combine to make him really fanciable.

Magpiecomplex · 25/06/2026 20:24

He was very attractive as Samuel Pepys, that's when I first noticed it. I don't usually go for long, curly wigs, I should perhaps point out!

Urrrghhhh I forgot they had a few encounters. Jeez, well I suppose he can talk the charm in the bed, as long as he didnt bring his partridge persona with him 🤢
