Strange celeb crushes

[annoyance888]

I'll go first

Marcus Wareing
Cheerful Charlie (Clarksons Farm)

Yes to Martin Freeman. Had a crush on him since watched the Office as a teenager.

Finally a true strange crush! Most of these are completely normal 😂

Mine is Ian Hislop 😬

Guy garvey from elbow..... he's got an amazing voice and a gorgeous smile ☺️

I've had some weird ones over the years, starting age 8 with Tom Hanks, Des O'Connor and Edward Woodward. I also fancied the cartoons Bananaman, Asterix and Roger Ramjet!
More recent ones have been
Johnny Vegas
Mackenzie Crook
Julian Barratt
Peter Perrett
Snoop Dogg
Jay Rayner
Louis Theroux

But I'm kind of over all of those now. I need some new ones!!

I fancy the cartoon man with a big moustache on my Spanish Duolingo

I really fancied Rishi on the precise day that he got up and announced the furlough scheme during Covid.

There's just something about a man standing at a podium and spraying out billions of pounds that really gets me going 😉😂

Also his 'only adult in the room' energy - obviously that vanished pretty quickly

During lockdown I also developed short lived but intense crushes on Dominic Raab and Chris Whitty.

I am clearly a prime candidate for Stockholm Syndrome, should I ever find myself held hostage.

Oh aye Snoop Dogg was hot especially in the 90s and 00s. Beautiful delicate and well drawn bone structure. Incredibly witty lyricist, gorgoeus voice.

Shame about the murder charge but hey ho can't have it all

Thought I was the only one who could find Chris Mason, Gyles Brandreth and Cheerful Chatlie attractive 🤣
As you are all obviously as weird as me, can I add Charles Aznavour to the mix? When he was alive, obviously....

Michel Roux Jr

Christopher Walken in The Dead Zone..hubba hubba. Also that Fatboy Slim video.
Toby in The West Wing
Michael Palin absolutely.

I think you have to imagine yourself actually having sex with a crush. Not just thinking, “Yeah, you’re hot and you don’t even know it.”

So that rules out Optimus Prime for me.

Also rules out politicians. Such a level of ego and total delusion about their own competence would have me retching long before the six pack underneath the too-expensive suit was unveiled.

Haha, yeah, I do tend win these threads 🤣

Rik Myall
Phil Glenister as Gene Hunt
Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso

Girl crush is definitely Hannah Waddingham!!

And I thought it was just me who fancied Cheerful Charlie …and Caroline Proust as Laure Berthaud

I'll play!

The fox in the Disney Robin hood film from the '70s
Ian McKellern
Peter Garrett (see user name)
Taika Waititi as Blackbeard
Capt Jack Sparrow (but not Johnny Depp)
Crowley in Good Omens (but not David Tennant)

The rest are fairly normal.

I hadn’t heard of this podcast, but I’ve subscribed now. I think I remember the story at the time, was she living in Ireland?

I remember seeing SP here and there over the years and thought nothing in particular, but then she did a documentary on the Ganges (I think) a few years ago, and the personal aspect of that, her life, her father, her loves, something in that made me sit up and take notice!

I’ve never had a crush on any woman ever so it took me by surprise.

I discovered Charles Aznavour fairly recently, this is my favourite.

And yes to Chris Mason 😍

Optimus Prime??!

He’s such a pompous dick.

@MeAgainAndAgain , I love that one but La Boheme is my favourite. Every song is a story. "She" is obviously the most well known song, clearly written by a man who understands women very well!

Jimmy Nail

@annoyance888 oh my gosh me too!! Charlie is so clever, so intelligent and knows so much, I find it really admirable! Wonder if he is married... 🤔if so she is a lucky lady!!

Kevin Keegan
Gerry from Blue Lights

Michael Scott in the US version of the Office

Not sure he's a "celeb" but Antony 'Tony' Blinken. 😳

I also fancy cheerful Charlie but that seems to be mainstream on mumsnet!
