Do you fancy Jarvis Cocker?

I know I'm not alone.

From the moment I first saw him when Common People came out, and he was staring into my soul on Top of the Pops. His voice, his sass, his talent. Even today, I have fancied him since he appeared and still do.

Anyone else?

Yes!! Always and forever!

Foreverinjeans · 13/08/2022 10:16

Yes. Think he'd be amazing in bed!

Alconleigh · 13/08/2022 10:18

To the end of time. Glorious man.

Glorious is the right word.

Back in the day he had a certain something but he doesn’t do it for me now.

This. He doesn't do anything for me now

Nope. Not noticed him since the 90s but then he struck me as self-absorbed, underweight, pale and into drugs.

Brad Pitt or DiCaprio in the 90s, now 😍

He is almost 60. I don't usually like older men either but this was just an instant attraction. I remember being totally mesmerised at the time, when he appeared on TOTP. I was 14. I'm now 40 and just still adore him. Crazy.

Nooooooo, too cocky for my liking.

BlueKaftan · 13/08/2022 10:31

I’m so put off by his name. I can’t explain it but I find it hideous.

Sparklingbrook · 13/08/2022 10:33

My heart remains with Rob Lowe. He had it back in the day and at 58 he still does.
I think Jarvis might be a bit gloomy these days.

JorisBonson · 13/08/2022 10:34

Oh yes, always and forever!

Haha jinx!

Atomicspider · 13/08/2022 10:38

Until his latest Glastonbury performance.

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 13/08/2022 10:40

Nope, never did. I can see why other people might, but I prefer a chunky rugby player’s physique myself. I did love their music though.

Have never fancied him (or Brad Pitt).

But Leo still looks amazing, even with his intermittent paunch!

x2boys · 13/08/2022 10:41

I saw pulp live at the Heineken Festival in Leeds in 1995 they were amazing and best of all it was a free festival !

MacKenzieMcHale · 13/08/2022 10:42

I'm going to see him in a few weeks, I'll let you know 😘

GranolaHolmes · 13/08/2022 10:42

He's mine sorry

I loved him as well but Jarvis just has this magical effect on me, persistent over three decades.

I saw PULP live, dad took me. I would never ever want to meet him. I'm married. I'd probably faint if he spoke to me.

Show quote history

Leo's talent is attractive and I found him most fanciable in Don't Look Up, but I've never had a huge crush on him.

I also love Jeff Bridges and Olly Alexander.
