Brilliant, I'm adding this thread to my watchlist, I feel some excellence coming on!

Mine would be Steven Tyler from Aerosmith or Jack Nicholson. I never thought either were that bad, but others beg to differ....Grin

UnseenAcademicalMum · 09/08/2010 22:40

I'm with you on that embarrassing crush. I adored David Essex when I was about 14 or so (though not now - disclaimer!)

Another embarrassing crush is Mags from A-ha.

Can I join you in David Essex.

I remember writing in my diary at the age of 11 that I was going to marry David Essex one day.

He was just soooo dreamy and yummy in 1973. He must be well into his sixties now Grin. Maybe he'd fancy me right back these days.

mumblechum · 09/08/2010 22:41

These days I have a really weird thing going for Bill Nighy.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 09/08/2010 22:42

I need say nothing

TheLadyEvenstar · 09/08/2010 22:44

I also fell in love with him but only in this form Grin Blush

I couldn't marry David, he was married to Maureen when i was available. And also hewas a lot older than me. He doesn't seem too old now!

Is it just me, or does anyone else get reminded of David Essex when they see the actor that plays Dev on Coronation Street?

iamamug · 09/08/2010 22:46

Donny Osmond as a youngster but my best weird crush? Robbie Coltrane in Cracker - I know!!!!!!!!!(but you would wouldn't you?)

John Nettles as Bergerac

Fibilou · 09/08/2010 22:49

Hecate, are you being quite serious that you have a thing for Worf ? Because I used to as well, thank goodness I am not the only weirdo !!!!!

TheLadyEvenstar · 09/08/2010 22:50

OMG the Michael Ball insanity happened to me too. Even in Hairspray. Oh the shame.

SpanishHarlot · 09/08/2010 22:52

I just loved Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) and ended up going out with his lookalike in school. He would dump me then ring me up again and I would just be soooo hooked on him..

think he is old and fat now (the boy not PMG)

Can understand the David Essex fantasy too...and can see the attraction of John Nettles strangely enough although that is scary....

Loved Lovejoy too...must be the dark and handsome look ..

HecateQueenOfWitches · 09/08/2010 22:53

I am totally serious, Fibi. That character (not the actor, the character) does something to me! Blush

BettyTurnip · 09/08/2010 22:53

David Essex isn't embarrassing!

Fibilou · 09/08/2010 22:55

My private crush at the moment is BA Baracus - the TV version, not the film - and specifically the character, not Mr T.
I also have an odd crush on Alan Rickman but believe I am not alone in that.
When I was about 8 I had a thing for Peter Davison (of It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet fame). So I have a long history of odd crushes....

TheLadyEvenstar · 09/08/2010 22:55

Spanish for you and me phwoarrrrrrr

Hecate, I had a life size cardboard cutout of him while at university.

constantlytired · 09/08/2010 22:59

I just sat and watched Twilight to see what all the fuss was about....OMG, the character (not the actor) of Edward makes me physically shiver...Oh to be 15 years younger!! Then again, he is supposed to be over 100 in the film, so maybe i'm not too old Grin
