Not interested in Orlando Bloom at all unless he’s Legolas.
Also have a weird non sexual crush on Malcom Tucker.

Who’s your weirdest TV/film character crush?

Stuart from queer as folk but not aiden gillan
nathan from misfits

My boyfriend has a man crush on picard, he tries to pretend he just admires him, but he fools noone Grin

Unevenbeard · 07/08/2018 11:50

T-bag from prison break Blush

DarlingNikita · 07/08/2018 11:56

Many of these –Aragorn but not Viggo M, Jack Sparrow, Matthew Macfayden in Ripper Street (so noble! So tortured!), Malcolm Tucker, Roger Stirling...

Also Douglas Henshall in Shetland, Philip Glenister as Gene Hunt Blush and Tom Burke in The Musketeers. In fact, Tom Burke in Strike too.

Benedict C is hot in the early series of Sherlock when he's really quite unpleasantly socially inept and pale and a bit thin, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. But I fancy them both all the time anyway so it doesn't really count.

I agree with Legolas, but no interest in Orlando Bloom. The other weird Character I like from TV, I do actually like the actor in everything, but adore him as this character for some reason, Rumplestilitskin in Once Upon A Time.

chicken75 · 07/08/2018 12:21

Jamie Faser oh yes!
I like adult Fergus too Blush
Aragorn
Snape
Walking dead's Daryl Dixon
GOT Bronn, Tyrion and Thoros (love Paul Kaye anyway Blush).

sonjadog · 07/08/2018 12:28

I´m not sure Jamie Fraser is a weird crush, tbh. It is blatantly obviously why anyone would have a crush on him. I have a soft spot for Murtagh myself.

SpectacularAardvark · 07/08/2018 12:31

Spike in Buffy is such a sexy character, I watched the series again a couple of years ago and yep, my teenage crush still does it for me! James Marsters leaves me cold though, he must be a good actor.

eyycarumba · 07/08/2018 12:34

@RayRayBidet I agree with Stirling too! I'm not getting started on Jon Hamm......... Not sure what Bert did for me, I think he reminded me of an older version of someone I had a huuuge crush on when I started watching

chicken75 · 07/08/2018 12:38

Ooh Murtagh yes!

RayRayBidet · 07/08/2018 12:39

@eyycarumba
Robert Morse has lovely eyes and was a big Broadway star with a long career. I loved it after his character died and Don saw him dancing!
Also loved Roger playing the organ pissed while Peggy rollerskates.
Mmmmm Jon Hamm...... *drools

Bowednotbroken · 07/08/2018 12:58

Risk Mayall as Flash in Blackadder - or as Alan B'stard - or as himself but never any of the Rik / Richie characters he played! Definitely yes to Captain Picard, not Kirk but Chekhov! And (another old glimmer) Avon in Blake's seven too.

lastnamefirstfirstnamelast · 07/08/2018 13:06

Tyrion Lannister - oh yes!

MrsMyreton · 07/08/2018 13:08

Detective Perez from Shetland! Brew

CheeseYesPlease · 07/08/2018 13:11

Bain from Batman 😂

Teachtolive · 07/08/2018 13:14

Huge agreement for Bane, Stirling Archer and T-Bag (although I do kinda love Robert Knepper anyway, I think I just saw him first as T-Bag)

MrsJayy · 07/08/2018 13:19

Bane he was just misunderstood bless him. I am not really into Tom Hardy at all I can see he is nice looking but meh

sonjadog · 07/08/2018 13:50

I have never told anyone about my Tyrion crush as I thought it was too weird. I am heartened by how many posters here share it!

romany4 · 07/08/2018 13:54

Neil Oliver.
Just find him so sexy!

Yippedydoodaa · 07/08/2018 14:02

Jon Ham but only in Mad Men! Not really weird, as I am pretty sure he is just gorgeous, but weird that I don't like him irl AT ALL?!

Totally with you on Legolas and Arragorn, both dreadful irl!

Ashamed to say I weirdly understand the t-bag thing too!

And Alan Rickman in most things of course

But really @eyycarumba, Robert Morse?! Funniest one on here, he is like an old twinkly eyed grandad surely?! I thought you maybe meant Roger to start with, and then I would be agreeing!

JarlBalgruuf · 07/08/2018 14:21

Legolas and Aragorn oh my god yes both of them together
Nancy from Weeds
As a teen I had a MAJOR crush on Colin Morgan in Merlin

My husband loved Alex from OITNB until we watched That 70's Show which put him off.

RiverTam · 07/08/2018 14:29

One that’s often the other way around (ie more fanciable IRL) is Mads Mikkleson who is bloody beautiful.

MrsJayy · 07/08/2018 14:32

I have a bit of a thing for Martin Crane from Frazier he has a twinkle about him Blush

BoundByBriars · 07/08/2018 14:43

Al from Quantum Leap, played by Dean Stockwell.

Pandoraslastchance · 07/08/2018 15:02

Tim Currys long John silver does funny things to my downstairs Blush

I love Aragorn,legolas and Thranduil.

I love Kili but Poldark does absolutely nothing for me.

romany4 · 07/08/2018 15:04

MrsJayy

Martin Crane was lovely! I totally get the twinkle and his voice..
