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! 🤣🤣😬

Yes they were all in Green Wing. Also had a crush on Julian Rhind Tut!

My god he was incredibly hot! Ironically now hes not so much but Steven Mangan is.

Steven Mangan currently is on stage in London in a play called The Truth. Reviewed in today’s Times.

Steven Mangan is another weird crush of mine, along with Steve Coogan.

Fibrous · 26/06/2026 14:35

Lets face it there's nothing weird about fancying Stephen Mangan - he's good looking, intelligent, funny, and also seems to have survived fame with not a bad word said against him. I'd marry Mangan and have a one night stand with Coogan.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 26/06/2026 11:43

Well he's no Hugh Laurie.
Does Legends get better? We dumped after the first two episodes as we thought it was quite ordinary.

Im just 2 episodes in myself, will watch a couple tonight when I get a chance.

No, can’t bear him, sorry.
I admit he was good in Legends, but give me Tim Burke any day.

I’ve fancied Steven Mangan for years - I thought he was a ‘weird’ crush, but obvs not.

Nothing weird about fancying a charming, funny, talented, good looking bloke.

Mark Heap, though? That's twisted.

I think he's very strange looking, but he's very funny and talented so I do get the appeal 👍

LivingLounge · 26/06/2026 15:35

I fancy him, but have a terrible attraction to sleazy, charismatic men though in general. Flipside, also fancy the wholesome Stephen Mangan.

Just looked back on the last thread on fancying Steve Coogan because remember there was something that really made me laugh. Thanks @PermanentTemporary this was you:

“Filthy as in… anyone remember that line from Les Liaisons Dangereuses when John Makkovich says ‘I have taught her to perform quite naturally acts that one would hesitate to request from a professional”? That sort of vibe. Like you’d be in bed with him and there’d be some really startling things on offer, but without any fanfare or ‘I’m really kinky, me’ he’d just do them. But also no pushback if you didn’t want to.”

Sheismycherrypie · 26/06/2026 18:00

It’s terrible, this is Mumsnet, we are all supposed to fancy men that wouldn’t dream of making a sexual joke or offering to pay on a first date, but I just can’t - charismatic sleazes all the way for me.

Th only man less appealing than the oleaginous Mark Heap is Joe Wilkinson, who looks like he needs to go to a dog groomer and get flea treatment before he's allowed to be around civilised society.

Joe can be funny but he also looks like harbours parasites.

Then again, Mitch Benn always looks like he needs hosing down before being let inside.

BestIsWest · 26/06/2026 20:22

Haha! I was on a thread about this last year. He is lovely in Philomena.

Regarding your last sentence - I believe that's the sort of thing people post fan-fiction about on certain websites...

Ohhh, can you point me in that direction then? And while your at it can you possibly find out where the humour hormone bogged off to?.

Was only having a laugh 🤷🏼‍♀️.

He looks good now, and the role is endearing.

corblimeygvnr · 27/06/2026 00:21

Whyohwhy1973 · 25/06/2026 20:40

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

Rob Brydon? You see they're both the same kind of men 😉

thaisweetchill · 27/06/2026 00:32

As a big Alan Partridge fan I would have disagreed with you but his role in legends really made me see him in a new light…

bittertwisted · 27/06/2026 02:07

Mostlywilliow · 25/06/2026 20:14

I’ve always fancied the arse off him.

Me too
the trip is my favourite

Thor is so me, you are my person 😂

TheyreJustNormalCheeses · 27/06/2026 02:49

I’ve thought for a while he’s hot but aside from the sleaze he seems like such a bore and would be telling you his opinions endlessly. Also he seems to rarely laugh.

I would have agreed with Joe Wilkinson but I thought he looked quite nice when he had his hair long, was it on Traitors? I can’t even blame the heat for that 😳

Stephen Mangan now we're talking.

I totally would ))

Tony Ferrino anyone ?
"The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon"

Sleazy AF (but not real thankfully ) and a step up from Paul Calf

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