Chris Hemsworth 💕 Oh my goodness he's gorgeous! (Have told my DH that if he ever dumps me, I'll give Chris a call!! (because he would obviously reciprocate my love!!) DH is obviously my number one though!!!)

I don't think it's just you OP, but I don't think I've really ever had a proper celebrity crush and the Hemsworth brothers certainly do nothing for me, a sentiment which I'm sure would be heartily reciprocated!

rightonthyme · 05/08/2022 16:02

Haha YANBU, I regularly have enormous celeb crushes! They're just a bit of fun :)

TheVolturi · 05/08/2022 16:09

I've got a huge one and keeps my little world going round. Also, if you like Chris, give Kellan Lutz a Google, similar looking 😊

Lottie2shoes · 05/08/2022 16:10

I'm the opposite. I used to have loads of celeb crushes and I realised this a few days ago but there has not been anyone recently that I have taken a fancy to. Not celeb nor real life!

All my ones are dead. Hemsworth are too neanderthal for me.

Ponoka7 · 05/08/2022 16:16

I'm in my 50's, Chris used to be one of mine. Then Tom Hardy, went off him then watched Taboo. There's films that I watch just to perv.

ZiggysTarbrush · 05/08/2022 16:18

Gives me the out and out ick but there you go we're all different

neverbeenskiing · 05/08/2022 16:55

I never had celebrity crushes, even as a teenager, until I became peri-menopausal and started developing crushes on film stars, musicians etc. Thanks, crazy hormones! I googled it and apparently it's a thing.

My first ever celebrity crush was when I was age 39.... I actually honestly have the hots for the Dad in 'Bluey' Confused

@bigbeautifulmonster who doesn’t want a bit of bandit?! 🤣

As much as I hate to admit this, I'm with you on that one.

I have several celebrity crushes OP, although mine are very unique and I hardly ever find anyone who likes them as well.

I'm the same well I fancy my OH, but fantasy crushes - not a one. I used to love fancying celebs, it was a bit of silly escapism.

I could quite fancy Harry Styles, but he's just too young - I'm 15 years older and it seems off for me to swoon over him.

I think this is what is happening to me! Menopause must be round the corner!!!

I recently stopped in my tracks passing a very large poster of Chris and had an moment of Yummy. 😳

EmeraldShamrock1 · 05/08/2022 17:36

I've had a few over the years.

I was in love with Shemar Moore years ago.

Not just me then! I am even following him on Twitter (not that exciting to be fair!) I feel like I'm 15!! Hope this menopause arrives soon so I can go back to only fancying my DH!! 👍😀

I love an avenger too. A different one though. Robert Downey junior ❤️

APJ1 · 05/08/2022 18:40

I didn't think Chris Hemsworth was anything special until I watched him as Thor in one of the Avengers films and then...suddenly, I understood the appeal! It's weird though that it happened with that particular character, since I don't ever find long-haired men attractive otherwise.

Lipsandlashes · 05/08/2022 18:43

Mine is Chris Evans (the American one!) He’s definitely the best Chris’ 😜

AFS1 · 05/08/2022 18:43

YANBU to have a celebrity crush on Chris Hemsworth.
YABU to have never had a celebrity crush before!
I’ve had several through the years. Lovely daydream potentials!

Muscles repulse me.

Kerrrmieee · 05/08/2022 18:51

I'm always getting celeb crushes. They tend to be weird looking. I'm late 40s, I'll take Ken Stott 🤣

ditalini · 05/08/2022 19:00

Have you seen Rush op? Mercy 😳

DisforDarkChocolate · 05/08/2022 19:05

I am secretly in love with Brad Pitt, started when I saw World War Z. Chris Hemsworth is the next best thing, it's not just his looks either.
