Gary Neville

Am so glad I’m not the only one! That man has matured like… well not a fine wine, but more like from a WKD blue to Dom Perignon.

Aniother Gene Hunt/Malcom Tucker vote here too.
Also - Richard Osman (but only listening to him - when I actually “see” him sadly not so much.

Ethan Embry, but as Mark from Empire Records.

People always start threads like this and say, eg "Marcus Wareing" but everyone thinks that

tobee · 26/06/2024 21:49

Mines always been Dill the Dog from way back

I don't think it's weird but Orson Welles. The bit people would find weird is, at ANY age (and weight).

Yeah I can go with that. The amazing brain, vision and wit. Along with the chutzpah

tobee · 26/06/2024 21:51

Oh know it's just me talking to myself now.

magnummum · 26/06/2024 21:54

Not a celeb but someone who used to be in the public eye - Mark Carney - former Governor of the Bank of England 🤣.

Cheeseballer · 26/06/2024 21:54

Tim Spector

AhBiscuits · 26/06/2024 21:56

It's not that weird because he's hot, but Taika Waititi.

Soukmyfalafel · 26/06/2024 21:57

Stephen Graham has weirdly caught my eye lately.

I also still like Bob Mortimer.

Simon Reeve is gorgeous. I don't understand how that's a strange crush.

MayonnaiseOnMyChips · 26/06/2024 22:27

Also Disney's Robin Hood. Yes, the cartoon fox.

Omg Disney Robin Hood was my sexual awakening 😆

BlackCatsandBlueMoons · 26/06/2024 22:41

Simon Pegg
Hugh Fernley Whittingstall
Greg James

LumiK · 26/06/2024 22:53

Tom Parker Bowles and Nigel Farage, and with that I should probably get me coat….

OdeToBarney · 26/06/2024 22:59

Tom Burke - but only as Cormoran Strike.

Also Richard Hammond.

Edited

Disney Robin Hood was the awakening for an entire generation. I'd still marry him in a heartbeat.

@tobee is right, there's nothing weird about fancying Marcus Wareing, he's a very good looking bloke. Michel Roux Jr is charismatic as anything, Stanley Tucci can feed me pasta any day of tyhe week and I have had impure thoughts about Jay Rayner.

Weirder crush, perhaps - Robin from Ghosts.

Pussycat22 · 26/06/2024 23:12

Alan Hickman in robin hood prince of thieves, his voice, Richard Burton again voice and Anthony Hopkins yes his voice !

shellyleppard · 26/06/2024 23:21

Marcus Wareing
Patrick Sewing Bee

LostittoBostik · 25/06/2024 02:58

Yes, Malcolm Tucker. But also Alastair Campbell. (I know, I am a bit odd.)

In the same arena, BBC political editor Chris Mason.

I agree about Alastair Campbell

Viipdatu · 26/06/2024 23:34

Hi

Meadowwild · 26/06/2024 23:37

FranticFrankie · 25/06/2024 00:37

The Rev Richard Coles
Gyles Brandreth
Michael Palin (for years now!)
Bob Odenkirk- as Saul

You win. These are weird. Loads of other posters are listing obviously attractive actors but you have truly understood the spirit of weird crush.
