Ricky Gervais and Joe Lycett. I'd give Jeremy Corbyn a go too. Possibly all three at once.

IamaRevenant · 26/06/2024 23:46

Oh I could go for James Blunt. He must only talk though. Any suggestion of singing and he's dumped

I forgot my biggest crush: Monica Galetti 🥰 I would love her to watch me make an omelette and be unimpressed

Optimus prime and i am not ashamed!
It's his voice and the command he has over those robots 😂

Yes, I had a crush on him too. I do think it's the voice, I also crushed on Darth Vader, up until the prequels came along and ruined it.

Boofoof · 26/06/2024 23:56

Alex Horne for me- clever and funny!

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

I like Richard Coles too. He comes across as self effacing, intelligent, interesting and a sympathetic listener if you needed one.

TempestTost · 27/06/2024 00:00

I think the thing is with most of these people is that they are celebrities or successful in large part because they are very charismatic.

Some of the actors have a hard time turning that off even when they aren't supposed to be attractive. But others, like Philip Glenister, seem to be able to turn it on and off at will.

Richard Hammond - I literally remember the episode of Top Gear I saw him on where he had this sea shell necklace on and a leather jacket and ever since I’ve been smitten. Don’t even care he’s short.
Jarvis Cocker - I didn’t think I’d fancy him now but I saw him in concert and even tho he’s too old for me he’s still got it. He kind of looks like he smells funny tho I can’t lie.

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

Haha fucking hell, I'm so glad you elaborated because I was convinced you were talking about Snoopy the Dog. "Beautiful delicate and well drawn..."

HappyHippyChick · 26/06/2024 12:12

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

Mine is Ian Hislop 😬

Get away from Ian! He's been mine since I was about 14.

You're welcome to Paul 😅

TotHappy · 27/06/2024 00:24

In addition to Robin Hood, The Beast from Disneys Beauty and the Beast. Oh YES!

I was stuck walking behind Jarvis in a really crowded bit of Soho once, he is charismatic. I was probably close enough to smell but I didn't think to take a whiff 😂Hair a bit greasy iirc.

Right up until he transforms into the prince, to the great disappointment of little girls everywhere.

Acornsoup · 27/06/2024 00:42

Ulysses 31 if we are going there

Remember Jarvis in fantastic Mr Fox - hard no from me

You can distract Reece which leaves the field free for me o run off with Steve Pemberton.

SP has the most amazing eyes , evil, sorrowful, bawdy .

Even as Pops Blush

Got to agree with you, he has the most amazing eyes. I fancy him more when he’s playing someone evil.

hahahaha

although talking of cartoon characters, I will admit that my first "crush" (not erotic obvs) was the Fox Robin Hood in the 80s children's cartoon series

I'm with you on The Hamster. I took a shine to him when he was wearing the pink motorbike helmet and goggles in Vietman. He looked so manly and cool in a short way.
