Unconventional cruahes

Off the back of the thread asking about who you think is stunning. Who do you have a crush on that would make most people raise an eyebrow as they aren't what most people would call conventionally good looking?

I've always had a huge thing for James Gandolfini. If he was still around, he would probably be old enough to be my dad but I've always found him incredibly charming and just thought he was lovely.

Anyone else want to share?

Chris Mason. Think it’s the northern accent.

Tom Hiddleston as Loki

Ed Balls. This goes back YEARS, way before he did strictly. I almost found him more attractive because he wasn't attractive, if that makes any sense?

At the moment my crush is the operas singing guy from gocompare, he’s quite a cutie irl. Or is it just me.

YonderTweek · 24/09/2020 23:44

@LosersClub Totally! It's the mischief isn't it? Wink

@WholePlaceIsPickled

Robson Green 🤤
I mentioned in another thread I have a thing more for characters then people themselves so I fancied Robson Green in Wire in the Blood a bit but not the recent-ish show he was in set in a beauty salon, A while back James Nesbitt but not recently.

But yes more the unconventional ones then the usual ones people speak of are my thing

@AlCalavicci I'm with you on Gibbs 😉 but I don't think he's a weird crush? 😆🤔 he was voted People's sexiest man alive in one year in the 80's. And here's the killer that will bypass anyone under 44. He's married to Mindy, as on Mork and Mindy. You're welcome ❤🤣🤣🤣🤔

🤣

Babyroobs · 24/09/2020 23:55

Jarvis Cocker.

AlCalavicci · 25/09/2020 21:33

@Mapletreelane Ah you are right , I think I was just getting carried away ( wish one of them would carry me away Blush ) with the n/cis theme

I went to a lecture once and Gordon Brown was the speaker...much to my surprise I actually thought he was quite sexy! Lol. I think because I was in the front row and he was quite charismatic! Weird huh?! When I was a kid I remember fancying darth vader and alvin from the chipmunks.

Frazzled13 · 25/09/2020 21:39

Lee Ingleby - no idea what it is about him.

oreshina · 25/09/2020 21:40

oh and the ultra orthodox main guy from unorthodox (yanky) and akiva shtisel. I think I have a thing for these hot blue eyed guys in the orthodox clothes. Irl the actors are very attractive too so not that surprising.

Ed Balls for me too!

And Jools Holland.

And Bob Mortimer.

None of my ex- boyfriends/husband resemble any of these!

Jim Dale. An actor on the old carry on films. 😛

When I was a teenager I had a crush on Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Confused

Snap, but as an adult. His eyes are beautiful!
