I'm a bit obsessed with him. I spent almost two hours googling images of him earlier and thinking bad thoughts. BlushConfused

I'm pushing 40 ffs. I thought this odd kind of crush was a thing of days gone by!

He is a billionaire, that is at least 1 reason to fancy him. Other than that he seems to be a rat. Each to their own.

He's publicly and repeatedly accused one of the people who rescued the Thai cave boys of being a paedophile - an accusations that appears entirely made up. He's a total fuck wit.

This. Fucking idiot.

I'm not talking about him as a person. I'm talking about his looks. I realise this will put me in a minority! Confused

He just has a smug, powerful look I find attractive.

He has weird, pointy cheeks.

I used to have weird crushes on Dracula (Gary Oldman) maybe it's an extension of an evil crush. Grin

God, really? He is joint top of my list of Rich White Pricks Who Take Far More Than They Give to the World.

He's fucking dreadful.

Splurge77 · 05/10/2018 02:49

Seems like a real PoS. Like a young Donald Trump. Hope that cave diver wins big in that libel case.

MawkishTwaddle · 05/10/2018 03:10

Still fancy him, OP? Grin

He’s very handsome in person, and very sweet and soft-spoken.

I don’t see what’s so bad about his wife’s account, not if you actually read everything she wrote. She wrote in her blog about grieving at him, trying to get a reaction out of him because he wasn’t grieving the way she thought he should be. Speaking from experience that is highly manipulative (and agonising to deal with).

She complained about not having shared finances, but in another blog post wrote about how she knew absolutely nothing about managing money and had never taken any interest beyond spending it (she was almost 40 at that point). She complained that he told her her hair would look better platinum, but her blog is loaded with references to him not being attractive and her wanting to change his appearance.
She also wrote about how she decided to marry him because she hated his lifestyle and figured if she was putting up with that she should get a commitment. No surprise a marriage built on that foundation blew up badly.

YABU I think he is creepy looking.

EmperorTomatoRetchup · 05/10/2018 04:56

He's a dead eyed sociopath with hair from the 90s.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 05/10/2018 05:06

I think it’s more disturbing that you think that you should stop having these kinds of thoughts at 40. Do you think your vulva shrivels up once you hit 38 or something?

FurryDice · 05/10/2018 05:21

Maybe it’s in the name ‘musk’? Cos he’s a bit of a bellend

WilyMinx · 05/10/2018 05:24

He is my secret crush; no one in real life knows. And nope, wouldn't fancy him without his hair.

Figural · 05/10/2018 08:09

There are some strange people on here...

bibbidybobbidyboo · 05/10/2018 08:13

I don't get the appeal of him at all, he looks like a carp.

If any of you lot are nosy like me, you'll enjoy this interview with his first wife:
www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/amp5380/millionaire-starter-wife/

Fascinating insight into the dynamics of a relationship where one half becomes very famous and very rich a few years in.

BabySharkAteMyHamster · 05/10/2018 08:14

Ye Gods no..........mind you, I have a crush on Jack Dee so what do J know ?? Blush

FlappyFish · 05/10/2018 08:16

I worked with him. He’s a sociopath. That’s as far as my NDA will let me go. Grin

ResistanceIsNecessary · 05/10/2018 08:18

God no. Just reading the thread title made my flaps slam shut.

Neshoma · 05/10/2018 08:25

Bond villan sums him up perfectly.

ShatnersWig · 05/10/2018 08:29

Absolutely astonished someone who lusts after this guy and spends hours on the internet drooling over him has somehow missed all the stuff on the internet about what an appalling human being he is.

crispysausagerolls · 05/10/2018 08:33

YANBU I bloody love him
