Ooh yes I have got a girl crush on Tamsin Greig. Also Vicky McClure.

Agree with pps who said Stellen Skarsgaard. And the wonderful Toby Jones. And Paul Merton (a proper crush that one.)

MrsJamesAspey · 14/08/2017 00:05

Tom Hardy and Alan Rickman

And I know he's not an actor but Derren Brown....bloody love him and could watch him all day long

blameitonthebipolar · 14/08/2017 00:05

David Jason- my favourite ever

Ben Stiller
Adam Sandler
Jennifer Aniston

As a teen it was River Phoenix, I cried when he died, I was 15.

Now it's Danny Dyer, for obvious reasons.
Dp said he will allow it if he can have Jessica Alba...

Every film with Morgan Freeman or Katherine Heigl I know I will enjoy albeit for different reasons but I will admit...I also love a Tom Cruise film!! Grin

Jjpeston · 14/08/2017 00:27

Jason Bateman. So good in Arrested Development and loved him in Ozark. Kinda reminds me of Michael J Fox back in the 80s - just a lovely warm likeable presence

JaneJeffer · 14/08/2017 00:34

Special I love Katherine Heigl as well but I remember reading rumours that she was difficult to work with and that's why she hasn't been in too many films lately.

Toomuchcoffeetoday · 14/08/2017 04:02

i love John Krawoski esp. in Aloha and also in It's Complicated and A Drew Barrymore film I don't remember the name of with Ginnifer Goodwin about a man called Dex????.

I have a huge thing for the man who plays Endeavour in the TV series. Shaun someone. Not sure why but I totally love him. Those are my slightly odd ones.

(I am not going to tell you that I think I have a soft spot for Philip Schofeld and secretly wish I was Holly's replacement. But that is not so much a sexual thing, I just want to giggle with him over stupid stuff)

ollieplimsoles · 14/08/2017 07:37

I mourned Rik Mayall like no other

Someone mentioned Tom Cruise - for all that's he's totally unlike able in real life, he does (or did, I haven't watched anything very recent) have an annoying tendency to do good films, and to be good in them.

Cumberbatch I love, but I don't love a lot of what he's been in so he's not one I watch everything, quite circumspect about his films.

good to see another Lee fan!

Bemusedandpuzzled · 14/08/2017 12:52

If by 'love' we mean "respect their work" - Mark Rylance, Simon Russell Beale, Olivia Colman. Increasingly also Elisabeth Moss.

Coconutspongexo · 14/08/2017 12:56

Robert De Niro I am obsessed with him, he can do no wrong in my eyes.

LightDrizzle · 14/08/2017 12:58

Harriet Walter
Eileen Atkin
Ralph Fiennes
Alan Rickman
Emily Blunt, even though Girl on a Train was very disappointing.

HappyLollipop · 14/08/2017 12:58

Idris Elba, he's not even all that great of an actor but he's so dreamy 😍
