I'm in love with the lovely Mr Jake Gyllenhaal. I can't shake it. I may have joined this Facebook fan page (cos I'm really sad......and older than most of the other members). I may have also clocked up a good few hours on YouTube and Google images.

Does anyone else do this, indulge me!

Is that the fried chicken/meth guy from Breaking Bad?

He's just Gus to me but you can label him like that if you wish.

A real man. Not like bum-fluff Gyllenhaal (ducks).

Inspired by this thread I am watching Donnie Darko. Is it very wrong to fancy him playing a 15yo or whatever he's meant to be? Though I think he was about 20 when it was made.

Viggo Mortensen has a bizarre hold over me (especially in Eastern Promises.) Although everything I read about him in real life makes him sound like someone who would drive me nuts - always off in the woods composing poetry or music or making furniture from a tree he just cut down etc... actually I really wouldn't mind his carpentry skills ;)

BurningGubbins · 14/07/2015 23:00

Mrs Fring, is the 'barbell and weights' tab so you can be in peak form when you meet? Grin

BurningGubbins · 14/07/2015 23:07

As others have noted, I think David Beckham has really grown into himself of late, but then I have always had a thing for middle-aged men... DH is starting to go grey and I'm loving it.

Christopher Meloni in Oz. Google him. You're welcome. Grin

Your op reads exactly like my 14 year old niece wrote it. Only replace JG with Harry Bloody Styles.

I am in love with Pakorn the Muay Thai fighter.

During my Youtubing I once stumbled on the perfect cure for an Aaron Paul crush.

Look at him at 1:17 Grin

GooodMythicalMorning · 15/07/2015 00:23

Rupaul but only when in drag. It may partly be jealousy that he/she looks better in a dress than I do.

Vincent D'Onofrio for me .... be still my heart

JoffreyBaratheon · 15/07/2015 01:06

Not a celeb, but I just got a FB message last night from a classmate I had a crush on for YEARS at school... in the 1970s. Still made my heart flutter after all these years!

My bizarre celeb crush is the opera singer, Roberto Alagna, (as he looked about ten years ago) - the weird thing is he looks a bit like my husband. WHo I don't have a crush on.

mehefin · 15/07/2015 06:52

VonHerrBurton That's exactly why we're all here confessing we know this is like being a teenager. I leafed through The Sun yesterday in a shop because I knew there would be a picture on the showbiz page.

Silversun83 · 15/07/2015 12:34

I seem to develop intense and all-consuming crushes most times I binge-watch television shows... And they are painfully reminiscent of the ones I used to get as a teenager. Luckily they are relatively short-lived, but most of the time they only get replaced by another... And I'm sure, were I to re-watch the programmes, they would only get re-ignited...

In recent times, these have been:

James Marsters (but only as Spike) from re-watching Buffy
Nathan Fillion from watching Firefly (am now following on Twitter)
Aaron Paul from watching Breaking Bad (following on Twitter and Instagram)

Oh, and as others have said, they definitely get more intense around ovulation time...

Thankfully, currently in a period of respite - watching series 5 of GoT and I seem to have an unexpected reprieve...

dirtycarpet · 15/07/2015 14:17

I love Calvin Harris!

I can't stop myself.

If he met me, he'd love me too.

Fact!

(41 yo, 4dc, married)

bendybrickpumpkinpatch · 15/07/2015 14:59

Mrs fring please remove that offensive image. He caused much distress to Jesse!

ledare that hasn't worked! ! its only made me love him more! !!!

ThomasinaShelby · 15/07/2015 14:59

I'm guessing ovulation is when the naughty book gets properly consultedGrin

StarsInTheNightSky · 15/07/2015 15:01

Not quite a celebrity in the traditional sense but my most shameful crush, only recently admitted to on another thread, is Vladimir Putin Blush.
My face is on fire as I type this but there's just something about him, really attractive eyes and whne he's filmed/pictured with a gun or hunting I almost drool. Blush. I'm a lifelong vegetarian for goodness sake and I don't agree with hunting for sport, I don't know what's wrong with me.

bendybrickpumpkinpatch · 15/07/2015 15:01

Calvin Harris's sister posts on here dirty. Perhaps you should be friend her.

ooh why can't Aaron Pauls sister be a mumsnetter ????????

anonacfr · 15/07/2015 15:08

Starsinthenightsky I think you've officially killed this thread. Grin

And for the record Putin has colder emptier eyes than a Great White. And he's tiny in RL. (my DH has met him)

StarsInTheNightSky · 15/07/2015 15:14

anon Blush I know, but its the cold, ruthless empty eyes that make him so attractive . I am Envy of your DH, I've met a lot of international politicians, very senior military personnel and diplomats in my career, before I became a sahm, but he was never one of them. Probably for the best really Grin.

MitzyLeFrouf · 15/07/2015 15:15

Why does everyone fancy Aaron Paul? He's so......bland looking.

MalmseyWhine · 15/07/2015 15:17

The sister of my latest crush used to post on here. I found out through a random accident one day and then did a bit of delving Blush. It made me feel a bit like I'd crossed a line and probably contributed to the end of my crush.

YouCanDanceIfYouWantTo · 15/07/2015 15:23

GoodMythicalMorning I completely and totally agree.

anonacfr · 15/07/2015 15:23

Aaron Paul has a HUGE head. Puts me right off.

Stars I am worried about you. You don't have a crush on Jeffrey Dahmer by any chance? Charles Manson? Grin
