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!

I just looked at my Internet history to find a legit website that I accidentally closed. It's like a pervy shopping list. I blame you all.

Christian Slater.

My celeb crushes last for years, the latest one is just now dying out and no new one in sight yet so I might have a very productive few months ahead of me instead of spending endless hours on youtube and google images :D

BurningGubbins · 12/07/2015 21:17

Oh, BTW, I met Huw Edwards on a school trip to BBC Wales. He's as nice as you'd think.

I am so glad to have read this thread....I am 46 years old and got an insane crush on Aaron Paul....and to a lesser extent, Bryan Cranston. I feel so embarrassed...it is like a guilty secret. I have spent hours watching and re-watching Breaking Bad and looking at You Tube etc... I am possessed! What is wrong with me? Mid life crisis? So relieved it is not just me...

I've developed a distressing habit of crushing on men who were gorgeous 20 years ago. Remember David Sylvian from 80s band Japan? He was totally exquisite then and now resembles a gentleman of the road. It's confusing; how can I be in love with both versions? I have to ration my YouTubing to 15 minutes every day to ease my kids complaints.

Similar situation with Brett Anderson although he's still shaggable now.

HemanOrSheRa · 12/07/2015 21:24

Shelagh glad it's not just me.

NashvilleQueen I think we're on exactly the same page with Cillian Murphy ONLY as Thomas Shelby, I never normally go for men who are prettier than me Grin

Allofaflumble · 12/07/2015 21:27

My woman crush is Audrey Tatou the French actress.

LucilleBluth · 12/07/2015 21:33

Haggismcbaggis, great story Grin

Zamboni...yes to fan fiction too....and even worse slash fanfic. Uuurgghhhh..someone save me!

squishy Jeff.... Jeff stelling? Off sky sports?! You'd love our house, when we had to get a new tv I told Dh it was very unlikely I could tolerate a screen big enough to make Jeff larger than real life. There's an expression on my face now it's impossible to convey digitally ... Grin

Since no one else has mentioned him I'm adding Chris Pine onto this list.

"Of course ds, we can watch Star Trek again...."

Before him kevin mckidd, that bloke off the wire whose name I have forgotten, plus many more questionable ones.

LucilleBluth · 12/07/2015 22:10

Jeff Sterling? The one who narrates the football matches that aren't being shown on sky? Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Jake is quite a safe choice, but we are meant to be....we are the same age, I am eight days older, I feel like if we met that would be it for him Wink ........he really isn't gay!

Mine Kristen is Scott Thomas. It's lasted for years and I'm pretty certain we will end up making a life together.

CoffeeAndOranges · 12/07/2015 22:48

FlipFlops which one in Cordon? Jokke? Lex? The Horseman/Gryspeerts??! We have been catching up with it on iplayer, v good. I have a bit of a soft spot for Jokke.

I have had weird crushes when I've had other important things going on - it's like a displacement thing I think. When I was doing my gcses My So Called Life was on and I developed a very strong crush on the gay, overly feminine character Ricky - no idea why really.

And recently I went a bit crazy about Matthew McConaughey in True Detective - yyy to everything said further up thread- the sweaty shirtlessness, the southern drawl, both the moodiness of his character and the sheer swoon-worthiness of his dimpled smile in real life (he never smiled on TD!). It was definitely pregnancy hormones when it struck a few weeks ago. I went on to watch a couple of his earlier cheesy romcoms on the Now box and felt embarrassed for the guy having to be in them, and one where he had to be attracted to SJP. It was awful. Poor soul (yeah poor him, raking it in..)

Ahem... This recent crush is still clearly going strong...Blush

TheWintersmith · 12/07/2015 22:56

I'm struggling with David Tennant at the moment.

He is actually a bit too pretty.
But

HemanOrSheRa · 12/07/2015 22:58

Forget True Detective Coffee. A Time To Kill is the film you need to see.

LucilleBluth · 12/07/2015 23:10

The scene in True Detective where MM has sex with Woody Harleson's wife up against his kitchen counter was one to watch that's for sure.

Colin Farrell is doing ok in series two.....but he's just not the same.

SaulGood, which fictional character?

ScorpioMermaid · 13/07/2015 00:44

Mine is (amongst others) Stephen Amell from Arrow.. especially when he's dressed as 'The Arrow'.

Excuse me whilst I die.. Google/youtube stephen amell salmon ladder Grin

JointheJoyride · 13/07/2015 00:59

Norman Reedus. Doesn't even have to be as Daryl Dixon. I'd ride that like a blackpool donkey. I have a signed poster by my bed that I do NOT say goodnight to every night. And Daniel Dae Kim. He's just beautiful. Cheekbones you could grate a turnip on. And the arms....

JointheJoyride · 13/07/2015 01:01

Also, weirdly because I don't fancy skinny nerdy types, David Tennant. Many a fabulous dream about the filthy little git.

JointheJoyride · 13/07/2015 01:04

Lastly, then I'll shut up, the utter filth monger that is the Danish beauty who plays Jaime Lannister in GoT. He's just.....stunning! Have I sexually objectified enough men now? Grin

Ledare · 13/07/2015 01:06

I've just googled Jason Bateman because I quite liked him in Teenwolf 2 although it is a dreadful film. Time has been very kind to him Smile

He looks absolutely nothing like his sister. I really wanted to look like her when I was growing up, she was so lovely.
