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!

Easy come, easy go OP - with our hormones it'll be a new one in a few weeks!

But whilst my crushes vary, I'll always come back to my one and only, the beautiful Andrew Scott. Even though he is totally married to a man he still makes my ovaries melt.

JG, yes I do like the smoulder of a man with big eyes that are a touch too close together.

@Nandiniti Andrew Scott in Fleabag was... wow.

No never found him attractive, if anything disturbing and creepy even before all too well being re recorded. But after seeing the 'short story' he was one sick weirdo and honestly how could anyone still find him attractive. As a victim of EV and DV he is a gaslighting spiteful nutter.

@halloweenie13 which is the short story? Is it the Taylor Swift 14 minute film which I watched in the middle of the night ?

He was obviously awful to her. Took advantage of a much younger girl and not attending her party was just plain cruel.

I think he was using her as his "beard". I had a similar experience with an in the closet man who treated me badly but enjoyed being seen with a woman.

It's a shame that in 2021 anyone has to hide their sexuality.

@halloweenie13

So sorry you were subjected to EA and DV Thanks

I'm in the process of planning my escape from my EA husband. Probably why I'm escaping into a ridiculous fantasy who, ironically, sounds like an abuser...

Absolutely love him, crushed on him for years! He's in my top 3, up there with the 2 Ryan's (gosling and Reynolds) Grin

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

Can your imagination make them straight in your little fantasy world?

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 13/11/2021 11:57

No.

MaxNormal · 13/11/2021 12:01

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches I actually totally get where you're coming from.

But that said, Andrew Scott's straight priest in Fleabag was very convincing!

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 13/11/2021 12:09

Funnily enough, @MaxNormal, I knew Andrew Scott briefly when I was a teen. He went out with a friend of mine for 5 mins. He seemed very brooding and cool back then too.

MaxNormal · 13/11/2021 12:14

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches that's so cool. He's definitely someone with charisma.

I actually wasn't sure if my current crush was straight or gay as he's pretty discreet about his private life and has played a number of gay roles, and weirdly it bothered me, not for homophobic reasons but just as it would mess up my fantasies like you said.
Then I unearthed some pictures with a girlfriend so was just jealous instead Grin

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 13/11/2021 12:19
Grin

It's plain rude when they value their privacy instead of littering google images with evidence,

MaxNormal · 13/11/2021 12:23

I know right! That was next level stalking I had to do GrinBlush
