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?

He's a man who's made a lot of money for looking like he does and I'm sure he will get over people finding him dull and unattractive (which I'm sure you all have sparkling outgoing personalities and high levels of good looks)

He's done well for himself and used what he has to full potential.

Some bitter bitchy people on here

@OooPourUsACupLove

This thread is pretty nasty Sad. I know it’s meant in fun but it would be horrible to read comments like that about oneself.

On a different note….

DH and I had a silly game of making up rhyming celebrity side hustles, like “Halle Berry’s Discount Tellies” or “Jan Leeming Cleaning”.

DH came up with “David Gandy’s Garlic Brandy” and it tickled him so much he says it any time David Gandy, or indeed brandy, is mentioned.

Holly and Phil's Arthritis Pills? Taylor Swift's Office Lifts?

I like this game.

Shame this thread is so nasty.
I've always liked him. I just remembered that I have a photo of him, stored in my photos since March 2018, that I use to show people MN'ers the type of man I like!

David Gandy, I don't know what it is about him..
Oblomov21 · 20/11/2021 15:30

He's a model. 6 ft 3. Often best known for being an underwear model.

But everything changed in 2006 when he appeared in the now famous Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue TV commercial. Or as he’s been known to call it, the “On
the boat with the pants” ad.

The raunchy TV ad with David ­frolicking in the boat with a sexy female model got 11million hits online and saw a 50ft billboard of him displayed in Times Square.
Everybody wanted to know who the hunk in the trunks was and then David Gandy mania ensued.

Why is everyone being so nasty?
Few people could be an underwear model. The sight of me in my undies is frightening!

I’ve met him through work because he was an ambassador for an organisation that works with schools to improve outcomes for children who are underachieving. He was a friendly, handsome man! I liked him and hadn’t really heard of him before that.

@Ileflottante

Shitty thread. Really shitty.
Agree
Mummadeze · 20/11/2021 20:10

I don’t know anything about his personality but Hugo from MIC was always quite funny and charming I thought!

FlowerFlour · 20/11/2021 20:17

The Dean Gaffney thing is interesting. I wonder why he's not considered attractive, despite possessing all the attributes of a devastatingly handsome man. Is it just because we all know him as dopey 'Rickkkaaayy' so a seed of revulsion for him was planted in our collective subconscious in the 90s?

HomeSliceKnowsBest · 20/11/2021 20:20

The Robbie Fowler thing is uncanny Grin.

I've also met him. He He really nice, maybe not the most exuberant person but very genuine and decent.

And he does LOADS for rescue dogs. And loves dogs a lot.

Robbie remember

Damn, I am mixing up my 90s soap men!

BlackCatMum · 20/11/2021 20:38

Is he meant to be interesting?

RJnomore1 · 20/11/2021 20:43

Models are not particularly meant to have personality, they’re meant to look good quietly enough for the product to take the spotlight.

David G is very handsome but he is not my type, slightly too pretty boy (im sure he is devastated to learn that). We have no idea of his personality though, unlike reality celebs his jobs never been to showcase himself.

MrsColon · 20/11/2021 20:44

I've never met him. I try not to judge a book by its cover (try being the operative word - no-one's perfect).

iklboo · 20/11/2021 20:46

Yep. Definitely the Selfridges Dean Gaffney. Or is Dean Gaffney the Pound Shop Gandy?

MeredithGreyishblue · 20/11/2021 20:49

Not a good look, this thread. Nasty.

MrsBerthaRochester · 20/11/2021 20:50

He is very handsome but just doesnt do it for me.

Naughtynovembertree · 20/11/2021 20:51

I don't find him in the least bit attractive at all!!

Naughtynovembertree · 20/11/2021 20:52

It always amuses me just how many mn have been propositioned by Dean BlushGrin

CounsellorTroi · 20/11/2021 21:10

Anyone who loves dogs is fine by me!

and a significant % of MNers seem to have shagged Russell Brand too!

Thanks for the eyeful, I'd forgotten how damned gorgeous he is....
