Inappropriate crush on Julien Baptiste

I’m home ill and binging the latest season of ‘Baptiste’.

I have no idea how old the actor is but he could easily be my father.

He’s so considered and determined. AIBU to have developed a rather substantial crush on this man?

I’m delirious aren’t I?

You crush away, I’ve got two silver foxes believe they brighten my days I can tell you. Can you post a nice picture of him so we can see. If he’s a silver fox I bet he’s lovely.

Sillybillypoopoomummy · 23/07/2021 15:02

why is it inappropriate? asking for a friend... :-)

Merryoldgoat · 23/07/2021 15:04

@Sillybillypoopoomummy

Because he’s old enough to be my dad Blush

'tis true.

FlamingGoat · 23/07/2021 15:07

Have you seen him in the The Missing? He's a very nice looking man.

Merryoldgoat · 23/07/2021 15:11

@FlamingGoat

Yay! Another goat!

Yes, The Missing is where I first saw him - I’ve watched them all and thought he was fantastic but this is first time I’ve had… stirrings…

Good grief OP, you are most definitely not BU. Watch him in Saving Grace with Brenda Blethyn

DoucheCanoe · 23/07/2021 15:18

YANBU, I developed a bit of a crush on him in the Missing and having done a bit of Google rummaging he's definitely a silver fox that's improved with age!
.
He's 15 years older than my Dad...

hellcatspangle · 23/07/2021 15:19

I've got a soft spot for him as well!

oldwhyno · 23/07/2021 15:19

even when he's series 2 contemporary shaggy Baptiste?

He's wonderful. I do prefer him without the bushy beard, but what a man.

Tcheky Karyo has always been lovely on the eye Grin

Untrained · 23/07/2021 15:24

Baptiste? Totally fine for an older man/ seasoned detective type crush. I see your Baptiste and I give you... Poirot. David Suchet with his twinkly eyes, cuddly form and ‘Belgian’ accent. So cute!

TooBigForMyBoots · 23/07/2021 15:25

YANBU OP, he is silver sauce on a stick.😜

bilbodog · 23/07/2021 15:25

Merryoldgoat · 23/07/2021 15:28

Oh all of you have made a sick old goat very happy Grin

I’m having that as my bedtime story! 🤩

Baptiste is a dish. So handsome, kind, intelligent and courageous.

Also, highly relieved to know I'm not the only one who fancies Poirot. I've had a crush on him/Suchet since I was 15 😳

tiredanddangerous · 23/07/2021 15:35

Oh I totally would. And he's a whole 2 years younger than my Dad so I'm sure it's fine.

NCforsafety · 23/07/2021 15:35

He is lush. I've had a crush since first series of Baptiste. Oh that voice. And luckily for me he reminds me very strongly of my DH :)

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 23/07/2021 15:35

Oooh that voice....!! 😍

Holothane · 23/07/2021 15:43

Get rid of the beard then I would, sorry beards don’t do it for me at all.
