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!

Do you know I am SO GLAD it's not just me.

I was wondering what the fuck was going on with my hormones, It was like David Bowie in Labyrinth all over again Blush

I've got a huge crush on kit Harrington. I like to pretend I'm a make up artist in game of thrones and slowly,over the course of filming the latest season he falls madly in love with me-non of the Hollywood actresses he's met come close to my beauty,personality or intellect. He invites me out on a date and we go to a crowded London pub-loads of women ask for his autograph but he's only got eyes for me. He says 'lets get out of here', grabs me by the hand and we run through the streets of London,in the rain until he pushes me against a wall and we passionately kiss.

Oh god,I'm such a loser!

PontyGirl · 12/07/2015 19:48

whoever said mark strong, back of because he is definitely mine Grin

I got a bit weird over Paul Walker not that long ago Blush

LoveVintage · 12/07/2015 19:51

I've just posted on another thread that since seeing him at Wimbledon i have developed a huge crush on David Beckham. I never used to be fussed about him, but oh my he is looking hot as he gets older..

WireCat · 12/07/2015 19:53

When I'm ovulating, I'm like a dog on heat. I lust after Harry Styles ffs. I'm 41. Blush

Fantasyland · 12/07/2015 19:55

I'm 35 and had a crush on this guy ever since xfactor. He was on same year as one direction.
He is called Aiden Grimshaw.
My obsession got that bad I actually enquire how much to privately hire Him for a gig!

This thread has made me feel so much better!!

Oh and I so agree with Chris Pratt and Matthew McConaughey. I have a weakness for the us southern accent. And shirtless, slightly sweaty, buff men.

LoveVintage · 12/07/2015 19:57

Too far Fantasy Too far

WhirlpoolGalaxyM51 · 12/07/2015 20:02

blimey fantasy he's beautiful

HemanOrSheRa · 12/07/2015 20:07

That's it Jackie! That is what does it for me and my crush with Matthew McConaughey - slick with sweat, shirt sleeves rolled up, buttons undone and the southern drawl Blush.

NashvilleQueen · 12/07/2015 20:18

Cillian Murphy but ONLY as Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders
Saul Berenson from Homeland (as well at Peter Quinn)
Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker
Roger Allam either as Douglas Richardson on Cabin Pressure or as Peter Manion in The Thick of It (talking of which I had a random rude dream about Chris Addison the other night so I quite like him now as well)
And another vote for Zayn Malik. Big brown eyes and nice hair. Terrible tattoos mind.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 12/07/2015 20:19

Sooo glad it's not just me!

Another one for Tim Burgess (circa 1993....not now, with that bizarro Andy Warhol hair thing going on! Time is indeed a cruel mistress.)

Another one for Paul Rudd. Have only seen him in fairly lame rom coms, but it's those eyes and that smile!

I have also briefly been obsessed with the lead singer from The Vines (this was about 9 years ago - am actually struggling to remember his name so can't have been a very good obsession) and (wait for it).....

The Captain of the Indian cricket team (Sourav Ganguly).

Random.

ReallyNotAMorningPerson · 12/07/2015 20:21

And another one for Cillian Murphy. And Zayn Malik.

God, I'm anyone's clearly.

Emiliasmumtobe · 12/07/2015 20:22

I've been in love with Gary Oldman since I saw him in Dracula when I was twelve (yes, 12). Even now, decades later, I still have sexy dreams about him!

I also watch him on YouTube in old South Bank Shows.

I am not ashamed! Grin

HemanOrSheRa · 12/07/2015 20:24

I've got a random one - Om Puri. It's his craggy face and deep rumbly voice. He sounds remarkably like DP so I put it down to that Grin.

MetallicBeige · 12/07/2015 20:24

Oh god Brandon Flowers, yes! Beautiful man.

I have a thing for Hugh Dancy in his latest role in Hannibal. He's not my cup of tea usually, bet he's gutted.

SweetDreamsAndFlyingMachines · 12/07/2015 20:32

Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights) - the obsession is getting a bit worrying now Blush

Haggismcbaggis · 12/07/2015 20:36

Just to feed your crush .... I was boarding a flight from JFK to London a few years back and JG was there boarding in the First class queue. As he approached one of the flight crew approached him saying "Ah, Mr Gyllenhall ..... your sister is amazing!" He laughed heartily and I swooned. The whole flight which was a little bumpy I fretted that Jake wasn't getting enough rest up at the pointy end. My DH was ready to thump me by the time we landed.
I love him too EnvyEnvy

Was feeling better because these crushes seem to be fairly common. Then realised that it matters that Zayn has as many likes as Harry now. Seriously need to get a grip or cultivate a more grown up crush.

tobee · 12/07/2015 20:54

Just catching up on this thread while listening to music with earphones in. Obviously snorted with laughter too loudly as dh shouted "you on mumsnet?" and then nodded as he knew the kind of thread I was on. It was Huw Edwards that did it btw.

In the past I've had my kids and even the dog check up on me howling and crying with hysterical laughter at this kind of thread. What could be better on a Sunday evening when dinner is cooking?

southeastastra · 12/07/2015 20:56

maybe it's an age thing Grin i had a mad crush on john cusack for a year or so, it's was embarassing really i followed him on twitter and was so happy when he replied to one or two of my tweets. not really bothered about him now but i was crazy for a while.

ShelaghTurner · 12/07/2015 21:00

I quite like Om Puri too.... Blush

TheSultanofPing · 12/07/2015 21:05

I don't have a celebrity crush at the moment, but have had quite a few in the past. My longest running one was Donald Sutherland after watching him in The Eye of the Needle Confused
