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

New crush bot no where near as big as Eric but he plays Dr Brenner in Stranger Things. Saw him on a Frankie goes to Hollywood remix video and said whose that he gorgeous he was carrying someone, just seen clips of him on YouTube so buying series one, fanfic brewing as well.

I just knew this post would be about him before I opened it. He is just gorgeous. I have also spent way too much time gazing at pictures of him online over the last week. Although I am slightly embarrassed at discovering he's only 22 Blush

HollaHolla · 30/05/2021 03:09

Totally normally not my type - absolutely big blonde boys are my weakness... until DD showed up last Saturday. Fuck me, he’s sexy. In a ‘can’t quite say why’ way, but dear lord, I’ve come over all funny all week.
(Oh, and I actually like their music - I was a goth/mosher in my teens & 20s.)

embarrassingcrushtoo · 30/05/2021 16:21

Ladies, apparently it's not just us.

Watch this Maneskin interview (in English!), at about 5 mins in, they are asked about the most extraordinary thing a fan did for you. There is a pause, and then Damiano describes how families come to the shows, and the mums hand their babies over to Victoria and 'the mums act inappropriate with me'!!! BlushShockBlush

Poor Damiano, he's really humble and looks slightly embarrassed about inadvertently being a complete magnet for women of all ages!

It wasn't me, honest! The mind boggles at quite what happens! ConfusedShock

CuteOrangeElephant · 30/05/2021 18:59

I've been listening to Maneskin all week.

Usually totally not my type, but he is just looks so charismatic when he's performing.

They have been doing really well on charts worldwide so I hope we'll see much more of them in the future.

melisma · 31/05/2021 11:13

QueenOfDuisberg me too! I don't know what's wrong with me!

Also have been watching this video way too much Blush Such a charismatic performer.

melisma · 31/05/2021 11:25

I saw another interview with him during my ridiculous obsessive internet stalking in which he said he'd had a relationship with a 32 year old woman when he was 18!

embarrassingcrushtoo · 01/06/2021 03:32

Link, @melisma?

teezletangler · 01/06/2021 03:55

Damiano fulfills all of my Captain Jack Sparrow fantasies, and then some.

rubydoobydoo · 01/06/2021 04:10

Ooo I love a man in eyeliner....
I was briefly seeing a lad who looked like the drummer when I was in my 20s, he was absolutely beautiful but unfortunately also a bit boring Sad

Geamhradh · 01/06/2021 07:08

He uploaded a photo onto his Instagram yesterday of him sitting cross-legged on a bed with knee high white socks on and I still would. Confused

melisma · 01/06/2021 09:23

embarrassingcrushtoo here you go!

ZittiEBuoni · 01/06/2021 09:29

Blimey, they don't hold back with the personal questions!

melisma · 01/06/2021 09:34

Yes, it's pretty full on isn't it! There's a second part too:

Geamhradh I thought exactly the same. He is SO fine.

embarrassingcrushtoo · 01/06/2021 11:53

@melisma

Aaagh! I had seen the second part in my obsessive internet stalking but missed this part of the interview.

You got it wrong by the way - when he was 18, he went out with a 34-year-old, not a 32-year-old, a 16-year age difference! That's a lot for an 18-year-old.

May explain why he comes across as so...um...mature. Blush

He is stunningly beautiful to look at. Like a beautiful landscape or something. And, amazingly, he seems to be polite and not unbearably full of himself, as do the others.

The question about porn and Ethan made me laugh!

chocolatay · 01/06/2021 22:57

Anyone seen Maneskins Instagram story today 😮🥵

melisma · 01/06/2021 23:10

chocolatay Hell yes. OMG. 🔥🔥

I really am obsessed

WallinoMio · 01/06/2021 23:47

Omg I have found my people...since watching Eurovision I have become OBSESSED with Måneskin/Damiano...the ironic thing is I actually live in Italy but hadn’t really paid much attention to them until now Blush I’ve made up for that by feverishly YouTube stalking them for the last week...let me know if anyone needs any help translating something from Italian!

Have you seen this X Factor performance...?!

Lurleene · 01/06/2021 23:59

I think he has a definite touch of the Robert Pattinson's abiut him.

Nikki360 · 02/06/2021 07:29

Thank god I found this thread ! I'm not alone !

melisma · 02/06/2021 09:15

@WallinoMio @Nikki360 welcome to the den of obsessives you're not alone!

His pole dancing skills are seriously impressive Grin

ZittiEBuoni · 02/06/2021 09:25

Yes, that instagram story was rather...interesting....Grin

melisma · 02/06/2021 09:29

@WallinoMio @Geamhradh I'm interested to know how they're received/talked about in the Italian media- are they mainstream, well liked, outsiders? I genuinely really like their music so hope they make it to the UK for a gig on their tour.

MaxNormal · 02/06/2021 09:29

He is seriously beautiful. I watched Eurovision stone cold sober(!) and can confirm it was not beer goggles.
Also his English is incredibly good. I've had a lot of recent Italian crushes and that does vary widely.

Yellowcrockpot · 02/06/2021 09:41

@melisma

Yes, it's pretty full on isn't it! There's a second part too:

Geamhradh I thought exactly the same. He is SO fine.

Ohhhh God. He is just absolutely incredible. Oozes sex... made my morning, this.
