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?

Yes to Martin Crane, he definately had a twinkle Grin

mycelialnetwork · 07/08/2018 15:18

If we're talking Tim Curry, I give you Darkness/the devil in Legend. Seriously wrong on many levels, but seriously sexy.

mycelialnetwork · 07/08/2018 15:19

Also I have never understood the love for Benedict Cumberbatch, looks like a constipated snake imo, but Dr Strange.... yes, yes I would.

eyycarumba · 07/08/2018 15:29

@RayRayBidet Jon Hamm is top of my 'list', but nothing weird about that

@Yippedydoodaa I told you it goes past daddy issues! Grandad issues must be a thing? It's very much him in character though, no so much irl but I am partial to an older man with a full head of hair!

Ennirem · 07/08/2018 15:35

Michael Fassbender as Magneto but NEVER EVER ANYWHERE ELSE - he's creepy as fuck in real life. shudders

Bit of a throwback here but Stanley Tucci in the 90s drama Murder One as villain Richard Cross... so suave! So charming! So eeeeeevil! swoons

When I was a kid, Mr Data in Next Generation Blush So much did I not fancy the actor in real life I don't even remember his name! So disappointing as time went on and he got jowlier and pore-ier and more and more obviously not an immortal robot... sigh

RayRayBidet · 07/08/2018 15:35

@eyycarumba
I agree, he is in my top 3. Definitely nothing weird about it.

RayRayBidet · 07/08/2018 15:39

@SpectacularAardvark
Oh my god I forgot about Spike, oh how I lurrrvvved him! Never thought Angel was nice at all.

haribosmarties · 07/08/2018 15:39

jaqueshammer yes! Tom Hiddleston in Crimson Peak... never had any other interest in him... but then he plays an unhinged aristocrat having it away with his own sister and im enraptured.....

Im honestly worried for myself.

Ennirem · 07/08/2018 15:40

Oh God yes, Spike. Yum. Another sexy immortal character let down over the years by their sadly aging human actor... Sad

Yippedydoodaa · 07/08/2018 15:40

@eyycarumba grandad issues hahahahahaha

get the older men thing though, totally love a silver fox!

Ennirem · 07/08/2018 15:40

haribo

Oh another really strange one is Gary Oldman in Dracula.....
He looks completely ridiculous at all points in that film.... but honestly is also just really sexy at all points.... even when hes in that weird costume that makes him look like a 90 year old geisha

"I love Kili but Poldark does absolutely nothing for me."

He does make a ridiculously good looking dwarf!

And as many have said Loki. Though I like Tom Hiddleston now, it started off as just Loki.

JacquesHammer · 07/08/2018 16:28

We have very much the same taste. That’s not strange he’s divine in that movie. The way he says “Elisabeta”

fassone · 07/08/2018 16:29

Kylo Ren.

So much so I’ll be very upset if he dies in Star Wars Episode IX.

Furx · 07/08/2018 16:42

Agree with Aragorn and Greg House but not the actor that plays them. And Jack Sparrow. but Depp gives me the creeps.

I also fancied Tim Curry as Frank.N.Furter.

Fassbender as the Android David, an oddly compelling mix of creepy and hot.

I’d probably do Kylo Ren, given a chance. And I don’t think Gary Oldman as Dracula is an odd choice. He’s very sexy in that.

eyycarumba · 07/08/2018 16:42

"I love Kili but Poldark does absolutely nothing for me."

Yes! I fancy him so much in the hobbit but normally....nah. Also like Thorin. OH has a not very subtle man crush on Poldark though.

Looking at my previous post, maybe I just a thing for short men and I never realised..

Oh another really strange one is Gary Oldman in Dracula.....

Definitely get this. I used to like him irl too until my Sil started gushing about how much my DB looked like him (vom) he doesn't, but I can't look at Oldman without thinking it now.

WilyMinx · 07/08/2018 16:52

I started fancying Professor Snape in the HP films once I read the last book and found out why he'd always been such a dick to HP. Blush

RiverTam · 07/08/2018 17:06

Kili is nothing in comparison to Thorin, nothing, I tell you. Though nothing beats Aidan Turner as Mitchell in the first season of Being Human, the archetypal tortured vampire.

canonlydoblue · 07/08/2018 17:16

So glad other people have mentioned Robert Carlyle as Rumple/Mr Gold. I thought it was just me! Blush

DarlingNikita · 07/08/2018 17:29

Speaking of Poldark, I love love love Doctor Ennis, but is that weird? He is quite hot, isn't he?

Mumsnut · 07/08/2018 17:32
