Me? Bruce Dickinson, whats not to like? Might be over 20 years older than me but He could do anything he wanted! Martin Freeman -can’t quite say why but wouldn’t turn him down

Simon le Bon - he has aged so well!

Modwolvesrock · 23/08/2019 13:17

Bowie. He was absolutely beautiful Sad

sunshinesupermum · 23/08/2019 13:18

Not to make you jealous OP but my OH's friend is Bruce's girlfriend!

My crush from my teenage years was George Harrison (I am very old!)

Freddie Mercury, so much sex appeal.

Another vote for Rupert Graves. I had a bit of an Awakening in the middle of an English lesson once when we were shown the naked Rupert-featuring Merchant Ivory production of Room With a View, although that quickly went away when naked Simon Callow also hoved into view.
Damon Albarn was so beautiful in the 90s but not sure if he's aged that well. Who am I kidding, I still would.

isseywithcats · 23/08/2019 13:23

David Bowie
Marc Bolan
Keifer Sutherland
Charlton Heston ( was still fab in his 70s)
Sean Connery got better as hes got older
Jon Bon Jovi
Wesley Snipes as Blade

T0getherindreams · 23/08/2019 13:29

Morten Harket
Bruce Springsteen
Willem Dafoe

And bizarrely, even though I'm not gay, there's something about Drew Barrymore that gives me a fanny flush Blush

historysock · 23/08/2019 13:31

Tim Burgess. I love him, always have, always will.

FishCanFly · 23/08/2019 13:32

Leonardo di Caprio Grin

beccarocksbaby · 23/08/2019 13:36

Leo di caprio - he's got even better with age

I was once mistaken for Gillian Anderson. Do you want my number?!

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 23/08/2019 13:45

@JacquesHammer totally agree on Jared Leto

InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud · 23/08/2019 13:47

....nikki lauda ( even after his accident....I have a thing for men with an overbite)
Billy bob thornton...filthy

And.....

Brian Clough ( in his Derby and Leeds days).....

I am very old and strange

HighNetGirth · 23/08/2019 13:49

Beige adventure slacks!
Yes to Yul Bruner and Keanu Reeves
Richard Roundtree (the original Shaft)

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 23/08/2019 13:50

@MooseBreath Viggo Mortenson BUT only in character as Aragorn 😂

Pericombobulations · 23/08/2019 14:00

looks like I get mine to keep as no one else has suggested them.

Dave Gahan
Wayne Hussey

Or maybe I just have slightly odder tastes. I am getting to see Wayne twice this Autumn which will just have to keep me going a bit longer! He did offer my mate a quicky in the loo in the 90's, she turned him down, no idea why!

Always had a soft spot for Colin Firth (as far back as his Another Country performance long before his P&P role), but the singers always get me! Shame DH cant sing for toffee.

Can't believe no one has said Lloyd Cole! I was so I lurve with him in the 80s. Still hot IMO! (I like them craggy and grumpy-looking...)

@InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud

Aw I remember Niki Lauda's beautiful wife was 30 years younger than him and people accused her of using him, then after less than a year of them being together she donated her kidney to him to save his life at that point and he lived for I think another 15 years. She sure showed the naysayers up! 😍
