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! 🤣🤣😬

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.

Wonder if he has a big coke 🤭🤭🤭

Yes!!! I watched Legends having never thought of him that way at all before and thought "Oof he's looking a bit alright" 🤣

Have you been drinking red wine too? 🤣

Now I was thinking this just the other day, that he’s either aged well so now I fancy him, or I’ve aged so much that my standards have lowered.

That said, I vaguely know someone who shagged him after a night out back in the day and he was vile apparently. So that takes the shine off him a bit.

ConstantlyFuriosa · 25/06/2026 21:49

In one of the episodes of The Trip he talks about getting his eye bags sorted out. So I don’t think he’s averse to having tweakments.

It was the foodie travel thing he did with Rob Bryant that first made me find him attractive.

Same!

Its not the wine OP. Steve Coogan is extremely attractive. I have a fantasy of being flown BA first class, then Steve Coogan slightly bad tempered gets on irritably at the last minute. I quivering about whether he will take it worse if I recognise him OR pretend not to, laser focus on my crossword while I decide. I still think this may happen.

I can’t see him without thinking “Lynn, these are sex people!” So not for me. Stephen Mangan OTOH….

PermanentTemporary · 25/06/2026 21:58

Oh I definitely would, Calfs notwithstanding.

I don’t see why him being a womaniser is unattractive tbh. I like a man who knows his way about.

Hmmmm....im thinking you are possibly onto the second bottle here. 😆 🤣

Didn't Courtney Love describe him as pure filth in the sack, the mind boggles?

Everything is supposed to put you off men on here; bar them unstacking the dishwasher and never raising their voice.

NewGoldFox · 25/06/2026 22:00

He’s repulsive, speeds and somehow gets away with it. Blech.

Hes not bad looking but is bit of a knob in real life. I used to drink in the same pub as him, he was dating one of the regular’s daughter. It was a real
local’s pub and not exactly inundated with fans, but you couldn’t chat to him or he’d walk out!

Sofrigginghot · 25/06/2026 22:05

I agree OP. Although my username suggests I too, am hot so may be swayed. I'm a bit younger than you and mentioned it to my mum who is about the same age as him the other day and she couldn't see it. He gives me good in bed vibes...

Lottapianos · 25/06/2026 22:09

There is something about him OP. I don't think it's just the heat ☺️

Inthesensethat · 25/06/2026 22:19

I agree OP! Fancied him loads in the Trip (i think there might be four series, UK, Italy, Spain and Greece) - a rare show that has had me crying with laughter. Jealous of anyone who hasn't seen it yet! But yeah, have heard he's an arrogant dick in real life.

Also in agreement re Stephen Mangan, who also comes across as utterly lovely (check his desert islands discs ep, as it is fab and really moving).

Puppylucky · 25/06/2026 22:23

I fancy him but am put off by the fact that he was very clear on Richard Herring's podcast that he didn't fancy women over 40 and would never date them - and was completely unapologetic about it despite the audience reaction!

HotPodiumGuysGirl · 25/06/2026 22:27

SC is starring in the new White Lotus series which is filming in Cannes now. I hope Laura Dern eats him alive.

Just ginger beer 🤣

NoArmaniNoPunani · 25/06/2026 22:31

I think he's always been attractive but because he plays Alan Partridge so well and Alan's character is deeply unattractive, we didn't notice until now.

Fibrous · 25/06/2026 22:39

Stephen Mangan now we're talking.
