Watching Michael Mcyntyre- I remember Chesney Hawkes first time round and he was a bit of a joke if I remember? He’s 52 now and looks great! I think I quite fancy him now (and only a few years younger than him)
Aibu? Or has he got better with age?

I met him once 😉

Heartshapedboxed · 17/02/2024 22:18

🤣 I went to see him in concert and fancied him loads when I was about ten.

The one and only?

Cheesy Hanks is how he was known In our household. Decades on it's still unshiftable 😃

My friend/acquaintance slept with him! (A very long time ago). AP if you’re on here - hi!

OppsUpsSide · 17/02/2024 22:21

I met saw him perform when he must have been in his 30’s, he was pretty good. Jason Donavon was his opening act

I’ve seen him at a couple of retro festivals recently - his family came to one and stood in the wings watching. They came across as a really nice family.

He was very sweet! It was after a concert. I was about 15. I asked for his autograph and he asked how old I was and how to spell my name so he wrote it correctly. My claim to fame 😉

I saw him live a few months ago. Exactly what I said at the time - he is much hotter now than when he was younger!

3luckystars · 17/02/2024 22:28

I’m off to have a look at him now.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 17/02/2024 22:36

Oh I thought the exact same thing a few months ago when I saw him on TV. He just came across as so nice, without being too wet. Quite charismatic and confident without being up himself. I think he's been married a long time and the kids seem great, they seem like a brilliant unit.

mintbiscuit · 17/02/2024 22:40

He was so out of tune. It’s a no from me…

whatsappdoc · 17/02/2024 22:43

His dad was my first crush. Used to kiss his picture every night. Can't believe he has a son in his 50s! 😱

OMG I would have died at that line up! Love them both❤️

User19798 · 17/02/2024 23:00

I saw him in Panto when DD was about 5. It was love at first sight, she was swooning and went bright red when he sang and danced near her, and sort of trembling 😂What was incredibly sweet was that he noticed and at the end came back over during his BIG NUMBER and winked at her and blew her a kiss. We have never heard the end of it. What a lovely man.

Papergirl1968 · 17/02/2024 23:01

Always loved the song but he was a bit cheesy back in the day. Definitely improved with age!

Wheresthescissors · 17/02/2024 23:02

Where is the photo??

Daria32 · 17/02/2024 23:51

Have now delved down a Chesney Hawkes shaped rabbit hole! Was that his son on guitar this evening?

It was his son! I love Chesney and have done for years… so polite and charming!

Flipflops123 · 18/02/2024 00:08

Same! I loved watching that tonight!

AdamRyan · 18/02/2024 00:13

I just googled! He's improved with age

BigWillyLittleTodger · 18/02/2024 00:16

I’ve fancied him for years! Saw him live and he caught my eye and smiled directly at me! swoon.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 18/02/2024 00:17

Yum!

OMG- I quite fancy Chesney Hawkes.
