To have developed a stonking crush on

[catgirl1976]

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

I know I AIBU but bloody hell he's hot

Damiano just looks like a moody bitch sorry. I've known too many brooding Heathcliff types to know they are just mardy arses

Agreed. If I met him at a party I would move into another room.

Also I think I’ve posted this before but I love this song (and the video)

And this is in my top 5 at the moment too I think (again, the English translation is a must!). They all just look so amazing in all their videos, I love their look (especially Damiano obvs)

If ever there was an argument for guyliner.

Good choices too, @WallinoMio, love both of those too.

Just had to post this, it's the wrong Maneskin member, Ethan rather than Damiano, but it's hilarious, bless him!

Shows what their life was like when they shared a little flat in E London last year for a couple of months while learning English. Not glamorous st all, but Ethan is adorable!

I thought that too, @Beetlewing, when I saw them at Eurovision. I thought the lead singer was gorgeous but would be really annoying.

But then you see him in interviews (see links on this thread), and he's not like that at all. He's actually very courteous, considered and sweet.

Damiano seems like a sweetheart in interviews. And according to Ethan, he cooks too!

[/quote] Ha yes Ethan is adorable and more to the point I want to know his haircare routine 😂 I loved all the memes of him after his Eurovision reaction face

[quote WallinoMio]This song was huge here in Italy and I think it’s still one of my favourites….make sure you google the English translation of the lyrics too (even though they don’t really do it justice)

[/quote] I love this one it's beautiful

Holy shit I need a lie down.

That was in response to For Your Love! A new favourite for sure.

@Beetlewing I can see where you're coming from - I agree with @embarrassingcrushtoo that initially I thought he seemed full of himself, but I've really changed my mind. Now I mainly just think naughty thoughts about him

Oh and I loved the Ethan video! What a sweetie. I loved hearing that Damiano does all the cooking too. Reminded me of this rather gorgeous pic.

Hmmm, tasty food pic.

Indeed, an ideal man - can cook, sweet, incredibly hot.

What's not to like?

By the way, sorry @melisma, I should probably have put a health warning on that For Your Love video recommendation! Could definitely cause palpitations in those not prepared! Lyrics definitely NSFW.

Keep away from desi boys if you’re a fan of guyliner!

The madness. It’s just not wearing off, is it?

I Wannabe Your Slave is my favourite. What possibilities it conjures up...
And i’ll bet he doesn’t put cream in his carbonara. Good Roman boy like that.

I know the madness I’ve even ordered a throw with mages on I so want a single duvet next

Oh no each to their own though! I used to work with a lady who loved Steve Tyler! Goodness no way! I’m more of a Chris Evans type the captain American one though 😍

Just ordered a mug and coaster as well now should I have bath towel as well, 😍😍😍😍😍😍

This has caused a strop in our house today 😂

I pointed out that he follows stalks my coach on instagram, watches all of his live workouts and has his first dates episode saved and watches literally any youtube video with him in it, he also bought himself a personalised video from him.

Apparently this is different and he doesn’t fancy my coach oh no he is just ‘showing an interest’ and being ‘supportive’ 🤣 so he is having a little strop while watching rugby with me.

Where are you ordering from ? ! I need some !

Funky pigeon would you believe although mine are Eric Roberts.

The comments on the For Your Love video are good!

"He is pure sin"
"Prince Dracula is alive, so dark, sexual, handsome"
"With makeup he is full of dark infernal beauty, without it he is a pure fragile angel"

C'mon ladies, admit it, have you been frequenting the YouTube comments again?!

The comments are fab!

I love the community among Maneskin fans - the Italians volunteering translations of lyrics and interviews, and then fans around the world thanking them profusely for their service to fellow fans!

My daughter who is only slightly younger than the youngest member of Maneskin is deeply, deeply amused at my interest in the band. But she did admit to liking them at Eurovision (she prefers Ethan though) and is happy for me to send her links to more songs (will NOT be sending her For Your Love or I Wanna Be Your Slave though ).

@melisma - Just saw this video and you will love it, they are all so adorable. My favourite bit is where they show us round the house they're staying in, and Daniano says 'Let's show the outside, so we will seem like big artists!'

I think they honestly have no idea how huge they are now, all over Europe and beyond.

Off to have a look !

I’m sorry ( this is as far down the thread as I’ve got so far!) I just kept seeing Meghan Markle whenever i saw him…
