Long time lurker, first time poster (family funeral tomorrow and been on the gin for comfort, please don't judge!) In bed now and cannot sleep so thought you lovely lot could entertain me!

So my weird crush is Noel Fielding. Don't know what it is but he is GORGEOUS.

Friends do no agree - can you enlighten me with your weird crushes!?

I wouldn't call it a crush but my family always teased that it was... Tyrone the cartoon reindeer from Backyardigans. He was my favourite (when my daughter watched it) and I was always pleased when he had the main storyline in an episode!

Probably not really weird but not been mentioned - Simon Reeve and Gary Sinise

And quite a few that have already been mentioned - DEF not Wayne Rooney though! That really is weird...

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 16/02/2020 09:27

Oh, god yes, I'd forgotten Hywel Bennett! I wrote fanfics and everything...

SerenDippitty · 16/02/2020 09:36

I used to have a crush on Gary Sinise, until I found out he’s a Republican.

Charley50 · 16/02/2020 09:44

Tom Hollander

Gordon Ramsay
May or may not have had a naughty dream about him last....

Trudij123 · 16/02/2020 09:50

I had a HUGE thing for Mark Gruffalo until I realised how much PETA rubbish he supports. Love the sentiment, just not his choice of activists.

SpottyShoeBow · 16/02/2020 09:51

Gary Sinise is gorgeous. Politics be damned.

FleetwoodMacMummy · 16/02/2020 09:52

Oh and also Larry Lamb and Tim Healy!

SerenDippitty · 16/02/2020 09:52

Data in Star Trek TNG.

Rhod Gilbert
Richard Ayoade
Jim Carrey

When I was a young girl around 11 I had a weird crush on the colonel from Kentucky fried chicken, and I would collect things with his face on. 🍗💝

Ferrisbuellersdayoff · 16/02/2020 10:13

Sporticus and Ace Rimmer.

I used to be obsessed with Nigel clough when I was about 14!

Agree with pp saying that lots of people on this thread don’t understand the concept of a weird crush. People like Jude Law, Colin Firth and particularly Hugh jackman are conventionally good looking and have appeared in worlds sexiest men lists numerous times.

I can see something appealing in most names mentioned on this thread apart from Adam Driver. I think he is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen.

TypingoftheDead · 16/02/2020 10:53

I like Noel Fielding, too! He just seems like a lot of fun (though I hated the Mighty Boosh...)
Ross Noble is another one - I don't normally like the permed hair look that much, but it suits him. I think he's just lovely and he has a similar sense of humour to me.
Jack Black
A fair number of 'nerdy' guys - also going to second Richard Ayoade here, though it's more because I loved "Moss" from the IT Crowd.

Smileyaxolotl1 · 16/02/2020 10:53

Trudij do you mean Mark Ruffalo?!
He’s not a big monster with a poisonous wart!

Trudij123 · 16/02/2020 10:57

😆😆😆 spot what I type most often

Yes. Him too. Mark Gruffalo wouldn’t be daft enough to support PETA 🤣

drina27 · 16/02/2020 11:38

I hesitate to admit this because he’s a Tory but recently Rishi Sunak. 🤣
That smile...

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 16/02/2020 12:37

Garrus Vakarian, Councillor Sparatus and Primarch Victus from Mass Effect.

Evfra de Tershaav from Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Gul Dukat from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Yep, I find fictional Aliens sexy.

But my Weird Crush ....... Steve Pemberton grin ( I think Mrs Pemberton is a MN) , madam I will fight a duel with you
If that is true; Mrs Pemberton could you please pass on that I think your husband is an absolute writing genius!

slipperywhensparticus · 16/02/2020 12:46

Jeremy clarkson 🤔 not a clue why

ForestYeti · 16/02/2020 12:47

Paul Kaye

Louis Theroux is lovely, he’s intelligent, sarcastic, quietly funny and caring. Louis sees the humanity in everyone. He’s incredibly likeable and fanciable.

MrsToothyBitch · 16/02/2020 14:12

Oooh I forgot Louis Theroux. I quite like him too!
