Having a bit of a sh!t day, week, month (year?) and feeling a bit sad that I have a celeb crush being almost 40 living an alternative life in my head (I do have hausband and kids and things are mostly OK, but been feeling a bit low about myself for some time, long story), hopefully I am not the only one, so cheering up is most welcome!

Having a very interesting crush on Jodie Whittaker as Dr Who - making me question many life decisions Smile

Raffles1981 · 12/12/2021 12:55

I am 40, happily settled. But in my head, since I was 17 (!) I have been with John Cusack. So..yeah..you're not alone Blush

Nomilkinmycoffeeplease · 12/12/2021 13:13

Haha @Raffles1981 nice one.
My crush is 4 years younger though, I think this is what makes it particualrly sad lol

Still Keanu Reeves. Always has been, since 1994.

Since binge-watching "Reign" I am totally obsessed (Blush) with Toby Regbo (who played Francis). He is absolutely GORGEOUS (photo proof)

Jensen Ackles, always will be Grin

You’re not alone. There’s always some celebrity I’m fantasising about and I’ll be planning our whole life together in my mind.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 12/12/2021 14:04

When they occur my celeb crushes usually last about 6 months.

At the moment it's Taylor Kinney from Chicago Fire. He's prettier than my usual type but he's just so phwoarsome.

I watched the Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey and got a bit gooey eyed over Smithy ?? Didn't see that one coming ( my actual DH is more like wolverine so I am confused !)

OrangutanLibrarian · 12/12/2021 14:04

Unless you’re between the ages of 16-21, there’s nothing wrong or shameful fancying someone 4 years younger than you.

JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx · 12/12/2021 14:16

John Whaite, the dancing baker on Strictly. I know he doesn’t really deserve to win, but ooh I’d be so happy if he did.

Nomilkinmycoffeeplease · 12/12/2021 14:43

@OrangutanLibrarian It's more about the fact that a few years ago actors I fancied were 10 years older, while now they turn younger and younger ^^ It's not like I realistically fancy marring some dude off the screen, but it sort of sunk how Im getting older, and let's face it, not getting more attractive.

LuckyAmy1986 · 12/12/2021 15:06

Not new, but Joshua Jackson, always!

Nomilkinmycoffeeplease · 12/12/2021 16:41

@Madbadandusuallysad Henry Cavill as WIthcer, hello!

@LuckyAmy1986 - good one! I kind of forgot about him until my sis told me about a film she recently saw with him and I was surprised how GOOD Joshua Jackson looked, almost better than when he was younger!

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches Mine are a bit shorter but very intense :)
