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!

Have you seen Jake in Prince of Persia? Oh my!

Avarua · 07/11/2021 23:21

I have a crush on his sister.

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 07:33

@Avarua

I love his sister! I googled their dad and he's quite tasty too

@Battygirll @Avarua me too!

I never thought about him being in the closet but I sort of get it...what makes you think so?

Heath Ledger and Jake in Brokeback. I thought I'd died and gone to cowboy heaven

I used to carry around a magazine wallet size cut out of Keanu Reeves. And there's nothing to say that if that cut out hadn't disintegrated years ago I wouldn't still be carrying it around today...

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 08:19

@LemonDrizzles

I love Keanu too!

@Moooning

I did a obsessive search on Blind Gossip. I feel bad for him that he can't be open about his sexuality Sad

What's absurd about that? He's good looking and a very talented actor.

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 08:22

@DrSbaitso totally agree... I feel a bit like a silly teenager Blush

Sorry to burst your bubble but he said in an interview he thinks bathing is "less than necessary" sometimes...

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 09:05

He's gorgeous. Lovely smile.

There’s a podcast about solving tiny mysteries (which is great) and one of them is bout how tall he is. He features in it at the end and it will definitely make you fancy him more. Buggered if I can remember the name of the podcast though.

@Pleasedontputthatthere

Off to look for it now!

Found it! It’s called Mystery Show. Really short episodes, they’re all great. Enjoy.

Was just watching an old interview with him on Ellen, he’s the perfect mix of funny/shy/sexy/down to earth

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 10:22

@smoko

I know... gorgeous

Ah, that makes me happy Smile

I am currently crushing hard on Tom Hiddleston.
My insta and TikTok are full of him and it's lovely.

SummaLuvin · 12/11/2021 10:29

Two of Taylor Swifts saddest (most epic) ballads are assumed to be written about him. The vast majority of Red is probably about him, though not confirmed anywhere.

All Too Well - the story of their relationship breakdown, considered by Swifites to be her best ever song. Containing the cutting lyrics "And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, So casually cruel in the name of being honest".

The Moment I Knew - a song about how he failed to show up to her 21st birthday party after promising to be there, leaving her upset and humiliated.

Mistlewoeandwhine · 12/11/2021 10:33

He’s sexy as hell. I bet he’s good in bed.

Battygirll · 12/11/2021 10:40

I've listened to that whole album... he doesn't come across very well... poor old Swifty

@LuckyAmy1986

Why would him being gay make any difference to someone having a crush on him?
I personally can't fancy gay celebrities as part of the enjoyment of a celeb crush is knowing that if they saw me, in the frozen food aisle of Sainsbury's or some other similarly glamorous locale, that they would immediately full madly in lust with me, ditch their starlet girlfriend and move me to their NYC loft/Malibu beach house. My imagination can't make this work if they're gay.
