And I'm sure he speaks very highly of me, also I'm aware that this is so mean, however I just don't like him.

He's very Hugo from Made in Chelsea and seems to have very little personality or sense of humour.

Is it just me being a bitch?

I am not a fan either. Like he cares, lol.

Handsnotwands · 19/11/2021 13:57

Is he the one that looks like Robbie Fowler?

Toastytoads · 19/11/2021 14:15

@Handsnotwands Robbie Fowler????

WhatHoMarjorie · 19/11/2021 14:19

Ever since someone said he looks like Dean Gaffney I've been unable to break that connection in my mind.

WhatHoMarjorie · 19/11/2021 14:19

I've no comment to make on his personality though. Not sure I've ever heard him speak.

furbabymama87 · 19/11/2021 14:21

I don't really know anything about him. He's good looking I suppose but not my type.

JadeTrinket · 19/11/2021 14:22

I have absolutely no idea what he’s like as a human being, but I do find his particular brand of good looks quite repellent.

FKATondelayo · 19/11/2021 14:24

He's what a women's magazine in the 80s would consider good looking. Kays catalogue model.

Sundancerintherain · 19/11/2021 14:24

Doesn't do it for me , cant comment on his personality.

VsgKitt · 19/11/2021 14:25

He's not attractive at all. 0/10

ChorltonWheelie · 19/11/2021 14:37

This is a journalist fishing for an article on the hypocrisy of Mumsnet right?

Or some sort of post modern irony that my old brain can't comprehend?

RedwineforSantaplease · 19/11/2021 14:37

Do any models have personalities?

He does have a touch of the Gaffneys about him.

GreenNewDealNow · 19/11/2021 14:38

You are all wrong, he is exquisitely handsome.

I'm definitely not a journalist, I'm far too fond of the truth to be one of those!

I saw him on Loose Women earlier and he was just so dull, seems to take himself very seriously. He does look a bit like Dean Gaffney!

MancMum2000 · 19/11/2021 14:45

I don’t think he’s aged particularly well, was surprised to see he’s only 41. He was quite lovely when younger though.

Yes, maybe that’s it — it’s a kind of ‘flatpack cliché modelling knitwear in a catalogue’ version of good looks. At any rate there’s something terribly depressing about it. Like those Ann Summers’ window ‘five assorted women, one of whom will be black, one of whom will be fat, pouting in scratchy scanties’ look.
GiantHaystacks2021 · 19/11/2021 23:23

Nah.
He's been around the block a bit hasn't he?
His look is quite dated, not contemporary.
Always found him a bit sleazy..

immersivereader · 19/11/2021 23:24

He's a bit generic for my liking

Catflapkitkat · 20/11/2021 02:07

Remember him in this ad

David Gandy, I don't know what it is about him..
Coffeeonmytoffee · 20/11/2021 02:18

He is very dull in interviews. I’m not sure why he bothers because he has nothing to say.
He has some menswear line out which seems as dull as him.

Coffeeonmytoffee · 20/11/2021 02:26

He said he wanted to create the definitive T-shirt.
The definitive T-shirt.
How do these people say these things with a straight face?!

Shasha17 · 20/11/2021 02:39

He's not for me, either, OP.

I find him a bit sleazy and cringeworthy but I can't put my finger on why.

He looks like he uses really bad pick up lines, and wears too much aftershave, and looks in the mirror all the time.

Shasha17 · 20/11/2021 02:44

I feel like if he was a really rugged man in a certain kind of job - like a soldier or a builder or a firefighter - who really didn't care about fashion/his appearance much and just got on with things and didn't seem to really notice that he was attractive - THEN he'd have the potential to be attractive.

But his whole shirtless model in tiny pants/other cringeworthy dated photoshoots, and the fact that he seems to take himself SO seriously, makes him very unattractive to me.

Anordinarymum · 20/11/2021 02:53

He's a very successful male model - extremely attractive, and he has a 'window' which he is making the most of. He is using what God gave him to his best advantage and he has dated some high profile celebs.

Good on him I say. I don't think he takes himself seriously at all, but he certainly exploits his looks and talent, and why on earth wouldn't he?

OnwardsEverStridingOnwards · 20/11/2021 03:05

I don't like him either.

He just seems very 'average' and I think he's very boring an interviews. He doesn't seem to sound interested or get excited at anything.

I read an interview with him in You Magazine recently when he was discussing his 'menswear.' line... he came across as dull
to me and I thought all the clothes were awful Confused
