David Gandy, I don't know what it is about him..

[WildFlowerBees]

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?

@Coffeeonmytoffee- I agree with you entirely!

*in interviews, that should say!

41? 40 bloody 1? How does he work that one out?

No, hang on, I remember now being very taken aback by reading he was thirty something several years ago.
It's because he looks like a well preserved 49 or 50 yr old, I think!
(Albeit in a slimy, 'Just 4 Men' advertising, 80s/90s male model, himbo type of way)

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a bit liberal with his date of birth.
I remember also thinking how much older than his girlfriend he looked at the time too, she was in the Saturdays, Molly, was it?

Sorry to be so incoherent, DH just woke me up and now I'm AWAKE and he's snoring!

@Coffeeonmytoffee

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?!

I. love. this.

What a life goal. Me too.

He should just stick to modelling clothes rather than doing interviews, very boring.

He's only 41????

Surely not!

I thought he was at least 50. But now I think about it, I've always thought he was about 50. Never younger, never older. Just eternally around 50.

I just coincidentally saw an interview with him revealing his new daughter's name and I've never seen him speak before. Now I find him even less appealing. He sort of smirks when he talks in a very self satisfied way. (Lovely baby name though)

Also, I had no idea he was British! I expected him to have an Italian accent or maybe American.

Interesting. I haven't watched Loose Men from yesterday yet so had no idea of his personality. Didn't he date Jennifer Aniston at some point? Or was that a British builder guy? 🤔

Comes from Billericay. And made it to the top with one of the most unacceptable first names on MN!!

@ChorltonWheelie

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?

Yeah, I’m with you.

He’s been an active and committed volunteer/ambassador at Battersea Dogs home for about a decade.

@WhatHoMarjorie

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

To be fair to Dean Gaffney, he has all the makings of being a handsome man - strong defined jaw, blue eyes and dark hair, symmetrical features. I don't understand how it doesn't all come together for him.

I haven't seen David Gandy for years. I do think he's an attractive man though, and his job for a long time was to make very little clothing look good, which he excelled at, so I can't knock him for cashing in on his looks. Why shouldn't he, if that's what he has to offer and there's a demand for it?

He does NOT have an average face or body! Look around, people! Very handsome, seems very nice and quite down to earth. Amazing body. Too attractive for me to fancy, however, I like quirky and funny. He’s beautiful though.

He was in a program with Rob and Romesh and I think he came across really well and not dull at all.

I always found him very physically attractive. I've never seen him interviewed before. I've just watched the this morning interview with Fern and Phil, I think he's quite quiet, quite shy. He's aged a lot, but that's hardly surprising because those photos must have been taken when he was 20?

Shitty thread. Really shitty.

Shitty thread. Really shitty

Yep, it's awful

I’ve never heard of him as I don’t live in the U.K. but he is good looking in a kind of “of course I shall be an asshole to you, have you seen me?” kind of way. Sort of mean eyes.

It is the question of the century though; “why is Dean Gaffney not hot given that he has all the correct attributes?”

I've heard him speak. Came across as dismissive and arrogant. Plus his legs are too short for his body

I know this is really mean but Dean Gaffney makes me a bit sick in my mouth. I don't know why. He just makes my skin crawl. Sweaty and sleazy looking.

Really mean. Poor bloke. I bet he'd be really hurt if he saw this, hopefully he won't.

Some folk do expect celebrities to live up to impossible standards sometimes and then knock them down for any perceived failing.

He's making money from looking amazing. Good on him

I honesy have never even heard of this bloke.

What is he famous for exactly?

Blue steel.

I’m usually snarky as hell but this thread makes me feel uncomfortable. He’s just a guy doing a job he’s good at. He’s simply modelling some clothes. He’s not done anything nasty to anyone.

@DerbyshireMama yes it is really mean - and unnecessarily cruel. Nobody deserves that kind of bile based on their looks. It says far more about you than it does about him.

Horrible thread overall.

@Shedmistress

I'm sure he has a Wikipedia page.
