I think he passed by me on his bike once. I should have knocked him down and taken him to A&E (about 50m in UCH).

What do you know poorbuthappy? Envy

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/02/2012 11:27

Someone on here once said he eyed them up as they passed each other on the street.

If we're talking about shagging gingers, mine's Benedict Cumberbatch, thank you very much. And Paul Bettany. And Tim Minchin. And Seth Green ...

Thumbwitch · 20/02/2012 11:31

He's got a funny mouth. But Homeland is rather good.

Tim Minchin I like, and Julian Rhind-Tutt when in Green Wing; wouldn't touch Bendydick Cuminpatch with a ten foot though.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/02/2012 11:34

I had a brief crush on Julian R-T too, in Green Wing, but it was a very short-term thing.

Thumbwitch · 20/02/2012 11:40

yes, agreed - you only have to see him in Notting Hill and it puts you right off, doesn't it?!

Lueji · 20/02/2012 11:44

Sadly, the celebrity I have spotted the most (twice) is Ricky Gervais, when he still lived (lives?) in Bloomsbury.

I don't fancy him.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/02/2012 11:45

Didn't know he was in that, actually; I haven't seen it. I think what ended my crush was watching something in which he was playing squash or tennis naked (I know that sounds like a cheese dream, but I swear to God I saw it on telly) and he had a podgy early-onset middle-aged-spread type belly. I also realised that he was quite short.

RamblingRosa · 20/02/2012 11:49

Oooh yes. I've been lusting after him for years too. I saw him once at a arty cultural event thingy. He was there with a very attractive woman but I like to think that he gave me "a look".

I think I fancy that Julian Rhind Tutt too.

And I should also declare my undying love for Max in Eastenders Blush

Thumbwitch · 20/02/2012 11:51

Yes, it's only a small part, he's the Time Out journo. I think with J R-T, it's his hair that lets him down/makes him hot - some styles are just shocking! Although I'd agree with the naked belly thing being offputting too.

nannyj · 20/02/2012 12:55

Ricky gervais lives in hampstead. He's really skinny now.

MySweetPrince · 20/02/2012 15:06

Ahem...............I stood next to him a couple of weeks ago - he was in the V & A with his young 'un telling him all about the history of King Charles1......lovely voice and has a scruffy gorgeousness about him.

I met him once in a pub in Wales on a boozy afternoon between Xmas and new year after id drunk about 6 pints of Stella. Got so excited my pal went over to him and he came over for a chat and had my photo with him (looking pissed). Saw him few times after that he was staying in the village for new year as were we, dab hand on the pub piano he was too.

Lovely bloke!!!!

OkayGrrl · 20/02/2012 15:27

YABU, why do you have to be secretly in love with him? You make him sound like he's a weird crush, and he isn't, he is so lovely! Wink

Secret because I am married! This is the only place I dare disclose it. Blush

OkayGrrl · 20/02/2012 15:32

It's still no excuse for it to be a secret.

I'm another one who likes Benedict Cumberbatch, I think I have a thing for posh ginger haired men because I like Rupert Penry-jones too. Blush

DH irrationally jealouse even of fantasy crushes. Sad really. I quite like BC but not in the same way, if you see what I mean.

OP posts:
OkayGrrl · 20/02/2012 15:37

Because he probably realises he will never live up to Damian Lewis.

Shugochara · 20/02/2012 15:38

Ha ha! You are so right, OkayGrrl. He isn't even ginger!

OkayGrrl · 20/02/2012 15:42

What your husband isn't ginger!? Leave the bastard! Shock Or maybe not.

Shugochara · 20/02/2012 15:43

Ha ha! Maybe I will, if Damian comes knocking on the door - a tad unlikely, I know.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 20/02/2012 15:54

I thought I was the only one who wanted Damian Lewis. Nobody else I know likes him at all, my mother cannot stand him to the point that she refuses to watch anything he is in. My cousin laughed when I said he was attractive but later on confessed to liking Jeff Goldblum. It's quite a surprise to see all this DL love going on.

He was lovely as Jonesy in Dreamcatcher. LadyClarice is obviously confused and meaning he looks like one of the Weasley's.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/02/2012 15:55

EatYourEyes, I don't know who the Weasleys are. [eejit emoticon]
I think he definitely looks weaselly, as if he couldn't look you in the eye. He always appears to be smirking.

redmayneslips · 20/02/2012 16:52

Nope, he really doesn't do ti for me [and I appear to have a thing for posh gingery types too given my current obsession with Eddie Redmayne, and we'll have less bashing of him thank you very much Grin

I was watching homeland last night and thought that guy was distinctly unfanciable! It's his mouth, very strange...Good show though. And his wife in it is gorgeous.

Lueji · 20/02/2012 16:54

You get lots of random people on MN :o

I don't get all that thing about gingers supposedly not being attractive.
But then, I have some ginger genes and have green eyes.
