WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

John Barrowman is on Lorraine right now... WITH AN IRISH ACCENT?!

I thought he was AMERICAN?!

Am I missing something? AIBU?!?! HAVE I HAD A STROKE?!

I started a thread on the exact same thing - odd and I honestly cannot believe that people fancy him. Yeuch.

He is smarmy and fake and loud and showbizzy and just ick.

SantasStrapon · 28/11/2011 09:53

He is utterly lickable.

StealthPenguin · 28/11/2011 09:54

Bad children, naughty children. :o

The thought of licking john barrowman or actually of ever being within 10 feet of him makes me feel a bit sick tbh.

now, derren brown.....

SanTEEClaus · 28/11/2011 10:12

Although I do find him a bit yummy, I lost some love for him when I read his autobiography. Total tripe.

PomBearAtTheGatesOfDoom · 28/11/2011 10:13

JB is "everyman" - he is just a persona with nothing behind it (that he lets anyone ever see). It's a very clever tactic, he appears to be what he thinks the people he is interacting with want to see/hear. (Its also a bit of a sociopathic tendency but because he's in showbusiness nobody seems to think anything of it) Would the real John Barrowman please stand up? not a sodding chance...

schroeder · 28/11/2011 10:18

Eww! he is all shiney

Bossybritches22 · 28/11/2011 10:19

He has said before that his accent is all over the place depending on who he talks to, & he naturally slips back into his birth accent/lingo when talking to other Scots.

He doesn't hide it & it annoys him but at least he doesn't pretend he doesn't do it!

I like him even if he is a drama queen. His partner Scott must be a saint & bet the hissy fits can be amazing to witness!!!

Ihavewelliesbutitssunny · 28/11/2011 10:19

I think I read somewhere that he speaks with a Scottish accent when with his Scottish family and American/Canadian (I thought he had lived in Canada Confused) the rest of the time. Perhaps Lorraine is secretly family, or maybe its just because shes Scottish. I think hes lovely tbh and people like him usually annoy me.

jenfraggle · 28/11/2011 10:31

I've found him creepy since he did Live and Kicking. I don't find him in the slightest way attractive and he spends so much time with his head up his arse that his breath must be rank

QuietNinjaTeacup · 28/11/2011 10:56

I knew ambloke once who moved to England when he was 2 but as soon as someone Scottish starting talking to him he would change to a Scottish accent. It was quite funny to hear. I would lick John barrowman too

ShowOfHands · 28/11/2011 11:02

He may not have adopted a Welsh accent in Cardiff but Cap'n Jack certainly had a bit of Welsh in him.

I loved Ianto and Jack.

Serenitysutton · 28/11/2011 11:05

Ahha, hes a plastic scot, long lost brother of the plastic paddy

Hang on, Derren Brown is GAY? Shock

I have the worst gaydar in the world.

And if you don't want John Barrowman, pass him over here. I'm bored and need someone to do.

RalphTheRedNosedGnu · 28/11/2011 11:38

Derren Brown fanciable? What am I missing? He's creepy as hell!

SantasStrapon · 28/11/2011 11:40

Derren Brown is creepy as hell.

Derren Brown is
A) about as gay as Gino D'Camp-as-Christmas acts. Which is a fuckload lot.
B) Is insanely fanciable. I really like him anyway!

Just stop at the insane bit, Stealth. And leave it at that.

openerofjars · 28/11/2011 14:35

It's the thought that, should his predilections run that way, he could get you to do anything. Brr. No.

kreechergotstuckupthechimney · 28/11/2011 14:42

I've only ever seen Derren Brown in the programmes he did recently.
I wouldn't want him, and bear in mind my dream boat is Adrian Chiles, that is saying something.

blobtobetter · 28/11/2011 14:44

Derren Brown?? Gay??

He is super creepy though. He could hypnotise you into doing anything = creepy.

I was shocked to read that Neil Patrick Harris was gay. So cute in HIMYM.

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 28/11/2011 14:55

Nooooooooooooooo! Gino Di Campo is NOT GAY

StealthPenguin · 28/11/2011 14:57

WHAT?!?!?!?! NEIL PATRICK HARRIS IS GAY?!?!
