...on Matt Smith. He's just my type - funny looking, tall and highly talented. I am however 42 and pregnant. I nearly had an attack of the vapours with him in Christopher and his Kind last night. It all started when he announced Orbital at Glastonbury last year and was really cool.

Do you have inappropriate crushes?

Chunkymunkey, Bupcakes and Marlinspike, thanks for that, I now feel so much better admitting I've had a decades long crush on Jack Straw. Thank God he's unlikely to ever become Doctor Who or I'd be a ruined woman :)

Marlinspike · 24/03/2011 08:40

Itchywool, I can see where you're coming from with jack Straw - can I throw a Tony Blair into the mix for consideration?

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 24/03/2011 09:17

oh, yes, and Inspector Grim form 'The Thin Blue Line' and Gene Hunt of course, and Matthew Parris. And Hugo Rifkind. And occasionally Robert Crampton. And Mark Austin.

I am weeping with laughter at the poster who had a childhood crush on Mike Baldwin Grin

PureBloodMuggle · 24/03/2011 10:17

Kieran O'Brien, started when I first watch Gruey.

Haven't seen 9 Songs though!

neil oliver....bit odd i know.although im sure his wife loves him.
i hate long hair on men, and his teeth aren't good, but in a weird way that kinda adds to it.
it's the voice...swoon...

Homebird8 · 24/03/2011 15:34

It's got to be Bill Nighy!

DumSpiroSpero · 24/03/2011 15:46

Can I throw a Tony Blair into the mix for consideration?

Eeeeeewwwww! That is just wrong on so many levels, surely?

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 15:46

Oooh, first mention of Nighy ? congrats! He's quite a popular one, I think.

HarrietTheSpook · 24/03/2011 15:58

I've got an annoying one too at the moment. "Can't get you out of my head" sort of kind, much younger bloke, makes me feel like a stalking perverted old woman and fourteen year old girl all at the same time. Not exactly self-respect enhancing!! And unfortunately he's on Twitter. So sexy though.

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 15:59

Tell us who it is, then!

HarrietTheSpook · 24/03/2011 16:03

Not even sure I can disclose under an alias. The TV show he was on came and went ages ago...

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 16:06

Such a tease! Would it help if I disclosed mine?

  • Aidan Turner (inappropriate because I'm considerably a bit older than him)
  • Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman
HarrietTheSpook · 24/03/2011 16:06

The sensible one I will admit to is Hugo Rifkind as well.

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 16:07

. Cute!

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 24/03/2011 16:15

my name is Beaker and i rather fancy Rik Mayall

and Hugh Lawrie

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 16:19

NOT unreasonable. I wouldn't do Mayall any more, but circa Grim Tales, oh yes.
Also Hugh Laurie, believe me, is v common on other 'crush' MN threads. You are definitely not alone.

TheLadyEvenstar · 24/03/2011 16:28

Haven't read all of this thread but I am with you all on Matt Smith but also have a ffew others Blush

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 16:34

Go on then ...

BBL1 · 24/03/2011 16:39

I find Jarvis Cocker wildly attractive.

TheLadyEvenstar · 24/03/2011 16:40

David Essex, and
hmmm and
yum

I will stop there!

BringBackGoingForGold · 24/03/2011 16:41

BBL1, as do lots of people! Evenstar, I say, hot lady crushes! I don't know if that's inappropriate, but it's a refreshing change from all the blokes ...

Nearest I get to lady lurve is a minor girlcrush on Rebecca Hall.

BBL1 · 24/03/2011 16:43

Gabriel Byre is another - those dark eyes
