Damiano David from the Italian Eurovision winning group Maneskin?

I'm 44. I actually googled tickets for Eurovision 2022. I'm not far off adding up the number values of the letters in our respective last names and adding them up in my jotter to see if we are a match Grin

I know I AIBU but bloody hell he's hot

I can see the attraction but I wouldn't fight you for him! I have an odd type... -stalks The Weeknd's Instagram 🤤🤤🤤🤤-

afrikat · 24/05/2021 21:13

Honestly I don't know if I am more attracted to him or Victoria De Angelis. Both so hot 🔥🤣

I had to google The Weekend. He did not look like I expected from his songs.

I thought he was hot on Saturday but I was also quite pissed. Not so sure now I've sobered up 😁

@Getawriggleon I may have spent some time googling him when I should have been working and can confirm he is indeed very hot and it was not just the beer goggles on Saturday :)

:) @ReginaaPhalange HIjack away - this can be inappropriate crushes thread :)

The Weekend is not for me but when Damiano and I tie the knot you can come and bring him as your plus one :)

@catgirl1976 oooo then he can do the unforgivable and propose to me at your wedding, but I figured that would be ok cause you married your rocker babe haha

Fauvist · 24/05/2021 21:27

Damiano David is absolutely gorgeous. YANBU.

@ReginaaPhalange. I would totally forgive you because I’d be all floaty and happy but I would one day start a bridezilla AIBU thread about it at some point when the honeymoon vibes had faded 🤣

ReginaaPhalange · 24/05/2021 21:34

@catgirl1976 hahahah then I'd be quick to follow with the "friend announced her pregnancy at my baby shower" post 🤣🤣 but really, who cares, we have our men ;)

AngeloMysterioso · 24/05/2021 21:51

Is there a reason why you could put his name in the title?

Nothappyland · 24/05/2021 22:00

Mine was on the lead male singer of Iceland’s Eurovision group Blush

I think it was the confidence 😂

embarrassingcrushtoo · 25/05/2021 06:22

OMG Shock I actually came on MN looking for a thread on him. I am older than you OP and totally embarrassingly swooning .

This thread is actually my spiritual home, as I ALSO have a huge crush on Dadi Freyr, the lead singer of the Icelandic Eurovision group. Blush And have booked to see him play live not once but twice! Blush

I will sound like a sex-obsessed Eurovision obsessive, but honestly, it's been years since I've had a crush on anyone famous, and in fact was just joking to DH that all the men I used to have a crush on were now dead! (eg Alan Rickman or Bowie.

Damiano looks like a cross between a young Johnny Depp and a young Hugh Grant but with the wry swagger of say a young Jarvis Cocker. What's not to like?

Good name too. Damiano David sounds like a rockstar name!

@embarrassingcrushtoo I am so glad it's not just me. I don't mind sharing him :)

The Iceland singer definitely had something but Damiano is the sexiest man I have seen in a long time. If a little short but I will graciously over look that on this occasion.

DD has the same 'flames licking up my skinny hips' tattoo peeking out of his snakeskin strides as Justin Hawkins. Once I noticed that on Saturday night, Maneskin were less supercool Bowie/Ronson and more Don't Let the Bells End.

embarrassingcrushtoo · 25/05/2021 09:45

Does he? Not on the pictures I could see. Shall ignore and enjoy 'handsome man in eyeliner' vibes.

Here's hoping for a return to the men in make up look, which I sadly miss.

SteveArnottsCodeine · 25/05/2021 10:03

I just googled him- I see he’s from Rome.... where the local time is apparently 2001. That’s a lot of eyeliner @catgirl1976 and I really think that he’d be more than you bargained for (yet).

embarrassingcrushtoo · 25/05/2021 11:21

A lot of eyeliner is the best amount. Wink

babyinthacorner · 25/05/2021 11:29

I thought he was quite hot. My current crush is Taika Waititi. Not sure what that says about me, except that I’m a sucker for an exceptionally funny Polynesian Jew...

topwings · 25/05/2021 11:35

YANBU. I am a similar age to you and in all my years I have never fancied the rocker eye liner type but he is gorgeous. The singing in Italian also helps.

topwings · 25/05/2021 11:38

If a little short

He's 5 9; I thought he was quite tall on Saturday night but of course he was wearing heels.

He could keep the heels on. That's definitely the first time I have said that.

Holothane · 25/05/2021 11:43

Me again enjoy your crushes I certainly do no he’s not my thing my thing definitely at the moment is this, he does things to me no other crush ever has fanny gallops whoever thought that up brilliant.

I liked the drummer from Maneskin! He looks a bit like one of The Lost Boys. There was a great shot of him looking all amazed and angelic when they announced the scores with his long dark hair and eyeliner
