He's the reason that when I was 17 I bought my boyfriend a feather boa and encouraged guyliner.

FriarTuck · 19/03/2019 17:52

Totally agree and I'm gay! No idea what it is about him in that but ..... Blush

ewenice · 19/03/2019 17:52

LOVE him. I saw him Pirates of Penzance in London in the 80's - omg he was so sexy. Totally, totally brilliant.

SweetAsSpice · 19/03/2019 17:54

Yes! He very much...awakened me Grin

Jimbalaya · 19/03/2019 17:57

I dreamt of jumping in the swimming pool with him! And now I am again.

BejamNostalgia · 19/03/2019 17:58

YANBU, I was thinking about getting a ‘boss’ tattoo the other dat

WonderTweek · 19/03/2019 18:00

Oh yes. My friend and I saw Rocky Horror when we were 14 and we both went "whoa!" Grin 20 years later I still think he was silly hot. It's the evil grin and eyebrows. Halo

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 19/03/2019 18:03

ineedaknittedhat · 19/03/2019 18:09

Enjoy 😁

AGnu · 19/03/2019 18:17

I remember being fascinated by him at age 10 when was one of my favourite films. It's the noise he makes while opening the envelope...

DollyPartonsBeard · 19/03/2019 18:20

@littlecandle In the Beggars Opera? So good I went twice!

ByGaslight · 19/03/2019 18:23

TC in Rocky Horror reminded me too much of Miss Jones in Rising Damp I'm afraid ...

LittleCandle · 19/03/2019 18:35

@DollyPartonsBeard it was! We had a meet and greet with one of the well respected cast members the following morning and what a jealous, spiteful little man he turned out to be and said some really unprofessional things about Tim.

RevealTheLegend · 19/03/2019 18:42

Oh my wordy, I’ve had a crush on him since I was 15. after seeing RHPS.

He is hot.

Metheven · 19/03/2019 21:07

@ewenice you lucky, lucky thing, I bet he was brilliant. I saw Oliver Tobias in Pirates of Penzance in the 80s , my goodness he looked good in those leather boots.

But yes, Tim Curry was hot, hot, hot in Rocky Horror.

WikkiTikkiWoo · 19/03/2019 21:34

God yes. Many many Frank n furter fantasies!!!

UterusUterusGhali · 19/03/2019 22:11

YADNBU.

Really glad it's not just me. 😅

Tighnabruaich · 20/03/2019 10:42

another one of him as Shakespeare

HarrySnotter · 20/03/2019 10:46

Goodness, Oliver Tobias was absolutely smoking hot back in the day.

KnitFastDieWarm · 20/03/2019 10:51

YES! He awakened a) my awareness that being bisexual was a thing as I don’t think I’d ever see a bisexual character before him and b) my enthusiasm for all things androgynous.
I so would. His legs in those stockings! fans self

StormTreader · 20/03/2019 10:52

It's the rampantly unashamed "Hah!" laugh that does it for me every time :D

SweetAsSpice · 20/03/2019 11:49

He also played the character Hexxus in FernGully: The Last Rainforest.

Here's the song he sang, Toxic Love. Enjoy.
