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!?

Johnny Depp is pretty standard?

Yeah, for my mum. Not for me when I was a schoolgirl, he was way old then.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney I met him when he was in a play at the Everyman in the 80's - he signed my program - been crushing ever since

I have a huge crush on Sean Pertwee ...and his dad!

Pumpkinspicewhatever · 13/02/2020 14:32

also and this one is really odd: gene wilder as willy wonka. Dd has been watching this movie a lot lately and he is strangely attractive...

MunaZaldrizoti · 13/02/2020 14:34

I fall in love with Jon Snow a little bit more every time I watch him on Big Fat Quiz

Zurina · 13/02/2020 14:34

Like if I say David Bowie was a strange crush of mine. Plenty of people may say that is standard, but is it standard when you are 11 to fancy men in their 40s/50s? Generally not, it's usually teen hearthrobs and young band members etc

YasssKween · 13/02/2020 14:35

Larry Lamb (a good 30 years + my senior)

Louis Theroux (though I think this is a common one)

Steve Coogan. All day long.

Andrew Marr Blush Blush Blush

Jurgen Klopp. Before he had his teeth done. He's the same age as my dad.

Christoph Waltz ❤️

@Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav I love House! 8 seasons of intelligent, sexy Hugh Laurie!

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 13/02/2020 15:05

Ricky Gervais
Louis Theroux
Hugh Laurie (as Dr House)

@Zurina David Bowie was my first celebrity crush at 9 years old!

Chesntoots · 13/02/2020 15:08

Chris Packham here too, but not in a sexual way. He is clever and committed to doing what he thinks is right. And he has awesome taste in clothes!

I also like Steve Buscemi too. Now that really is odd!

Louisesp82 · 13/02/2020 15:09

I used to like Mr Tumble 😕

JenNtonic · 13/02/2020 15:13

Gorgon Ramsay 🤤

YasssKween · 13/02/2020 15:17

Oh and Jeff Goldblum. Weirdly since I saw Jurassic Park for the first time which was probably when I was about 11 Blush

Aureum · 13/02/2020 15:25

Lots of these are leading men in romantic movies, so I’d be very surprised if they weren’t generally considered attractive. Jeff Goldblum, Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, etc.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 13/02/2020 15:32

Lowbrow yes they are all attractive men but not in a Brad Pitt hunky guy kind of way, what I think is noticeable from this thread is how personality affects who women are attracted to, it’s really not just the physical, and to be honest the gorgeous male model looks can often leave me cold, I wonder if men have weird celebrity crushes.....somehow I don’t think they do the way women do.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 13/02/2020 15:35

Mr Tumble = weird
Jeff Goldblum/Johnny Depp etc have no place on this thread

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 13/02/2020 15:37

Another one of mine is Mark Carney, used to be head of the Bank of England, all that power!

timetravelquestion · 13/02/2020 15:39

Philip K. Dick and Anton LaVey.

Zurina · 13/02/2020 15:50

@Zurina David Bowie was my first celebrity crush at 9 years old!

I too loved him from very young. But he was born a year before my grandma.

I'm not mentioning these people cos they aren't conventionally attractive. I'm saying they are weird crushes for me because they are either as old as my dad or as old as my granddad.

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2020 16:00

Alan Richman is lovely ; my sort of man looks wise.
Phillip Glenister is also intriguing.
Frank Skinner is funny and I like that about him. Probably have some great tales about his drinking days.
(None of these people would like me :( too old and not nearly glam enough!

  1. Pete Dinklage 🤤
  2. Alan sugar. I must have a thing for tiny men!
