It's ridiculous. I've developed a ridiculous crush on him Blush

I don't know how it started... now, I'm like an obsessed teenager, watching all his films, collecting images...

Please tell me I'm not the only one with an absurd celebrity crush!

Ditto...back off bitch he's mine Grin

Battygirll · 07/11/2021 09:49

@Moooning I'll fight you for him!

He's not my bag at all but celebrity crushes are fine. Completely normal.

Bontanics · 07/11/2021 09:52

He's been my crush since the Donnie Darko days.

SweetMaryHell · 07/11/2021 09:53

I fancied him in Donnie Darko

Maverickess · 07/11/2021 09:55

He's ok, wouldn't turn him down for a date or anything 🤣
I regularly get little celebrity crushes, current one is Benedict Cumberbatch - I am rewatching Sherlock and can't believe I didn't see it before!
Lot's of his films etc coming up after this if anyone's got any recommendations 🙂

MaxNormal · 07/11/2021 09:59

I've been getting a lot of these recently, I think its related to peri.
Not Jakey Boy though, all yours Grin

Chocaholic9 · 07/11/2021 10:02

I had a crush on him then I listened to one of Taylor Swift's songs about him (we are never ever getting back together) and it wore off. He sounds like a bit of a twat.

Kanaloa · 07/11/2021 10:03

Not for me! I remember reading this really weird interview with him where he was asked what he had for lunch and said oh a sandwich, then refused to answer what kind of sandwich he had because it was ‘too personal.’ Ever since then I can’t keep from laughing when I see him because that’s all I think of.

He was very good in Brokeback though.

Kanaloa · 07/11/2021 10:05

He also has very interesting eyes though if that makes sense. When he is in a closeup you have to look at his eyes because they seem really big in his face.

eurochick · 07/11/2021 10:06

A mate of mine dated him for a while. Lucky girl.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 07/11/2021 10:09

YANBU

he's ok and you can have him.
but Charlie Weber is mine.

I was on a flight with Jake once and he came and stood next to me at baggage claim. He was good looking but not all that, and much smaller than I expected.

I agree. I've always said this. His sister Maggie Gylle-wotsit is the same.

OP, yanbu and you can have him. He's not my cup of mocha Grin

StormyCornishSeas · 07/11/2021 10:15

Maybe not so much know. But i fancied the pants off Jake in Day After Tomorrow and the following year or so

Battygirll · 07/11/2021 10:16

@eurochick!!!

I'm so jealous! Envy

A lot of them are - Apparently, TV adds ten pounds (in Monica's voice Grin) to your weight and a few inches or more to your height.

I've taken to googling to check actual height of celebs. Not a lot of tall men to go round (if it's what you're looking for).

Battygirll · 07/11/2021 10:27

@ItsAlwaysAFriendNeverMe he doesn't look that tall I may have looked up his height

OP posts:
ItsAlwaysAFriendNeverMe · 07/11/2021 10:37

@Battygirll Just looked it up too.Grin He's actually taller than I expected. 5'11 is about average or above average for a man. I wouldn't call it short.

Actually, seeing as there aren't that many six-footer+ actors about, I think he's tall for Hollywood.

Battygirll · 07/11/2021 10:43

I agree, he quite short in pics I still definitely WOULD though

OP posts:
ShinyMe · 07/11/2021 10:48

He's very attractive. And I know he's meant to be a schoolboy in Day After Tomorrow but... I would.

ItsAlwaysAFriendNeverMe · 07/11/2021 10:49
Grin

Yes he does look shorter than he is.

OTOH, I've just gasped at a couple of actors I thought were tall(er) because they look tall in pictures or videos.

You get both ways I suppose.

entropynow · 07/11/2021 10:53

Nice body. Weird face. Eyes too close together. Never got Cumberbatch either, though he's an excellent actor.

Whatevs, crush away

spookysoul · 07/11/2021 11:00

He’s not top of my list but I wouldn’t say no!

NadiaVulvokov · 07/11/2021 11:02

Unfortunately Nightcrawler killed that for me. Creepiest character ever, shudder.
