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! 🤣🤣😬

The only time I've ever found him attractive was as Phileas Fogg in 80 days around the world. I had to give myself a thorough talking to after that.

Having said that, I do sometimes find Stephen Mangan (Dan! Dan! Dan!) attractive, which is worrying, because Guy Secretan was a total shit.

He can’t help being Alan Patridge in everything. I watched a 30 second clip of Legends and it was A P. Even the Jimmy Saville thing he was lauded for was Alan Partridge to me. Just with a different wig.

And don’t forget he’s the sort of ‘right on’ leftie multi millionaire who furloughs the gardener. 🙄

He might objectively good looking but nope, men who are up their own arse don’t do it for me.

Not in my eyes - but I do think Cristiano Ronaldo has matured like a fine wine! 🍷. 😁

I am always interested in the way some performers, especially comedians, can make themselves look so different, just by body language and facial expressions. Steve Coogan can do it - Rowan Atkinson has to be the king of it though as he's quite nice looking as himself.

Crikeyalmighty · 25/06/2026 21:26

yep I like smart talented men so Coogan, Louis Theroux, Simon Reeves- to me all attractive -

JenniferBooth · 25/06/2026 21:26

Nope........................Neil Pearson however. Rewind channel are repeating Drop The Dead Donkey

Nahhhh...I can't see it with rowan, I will not get rid of the mr bean act for a few more years with the wee one watching it, he wasnt too shabby in blackadder mind you. Michael Palin in the life of Brian...he was fine 🤭

Enjoyed Legends but was wondering has he always been so toothy?

Haha. Do watch The Trip(s), though. You’ll def fancy him again after that.

MabelAnderson · 25/06/2026 21:33

I thought there was a cocaine and prostitutes scandal many years ago, or am I mixing him up with someone else ?

ConstantlyFuriosa · 25/06/2026 21:34

Yes there was. I think that was in the Courtney Love years. It’s alluded to in The Trip as well. The coke thing, I mean.

Oh god, Stephen Mangan, you’ve got me there. I’ve got no defence or excuse 😊

ConstantlyFuriosa · 25/06/2026 21:35

Stephen Mangan is lovely.
