I'm the same age as him! As i get older I've developed a massive crush on him.

Please tell me I'm not the only one & that it'll go away 😀

Who was the female vocalist on Stan? Was it Sophie Ellis Bextor or another posh British singer?

What made you pick up on this when the post is about Eminem - a man who has also called women bitches and would wax lyrical about killing his mother?

That he's a raving misogynist but didn't sell women for money.

Dido! No idea what ever happened to her

I expect Dido made a pile of money from songwriting.
Eminem seems fairly bright, he'd look better (and younger) if he'd stop dyeing his hair.

Tittat50 · 12/10/2024 13:32

I'm kind of glad that Dildo is no more. Even though Stan is such a clever song.

Not that it matters but Eminem seems Neurodivergent. I think he refers to Asperger's ( now would be called high functioning autism) in one of his songs. It would explain his unique and fierce independence and refusing to just fall in line.

I imagine life was incredibly difficult growing up feeling so different and having a mum who was clearly not able to meet his needs.

When I watched 8 mile, I wondered if mum's boyfriend Greg was really so vile. ( Although I love the actor playing Greg; Michael Shannon).

Tittat50 · 12/10/2024 13:32

I'd like to see Eminem's natural hair

PGmicstand · 12/10/2024 13:37

I don't find any of them attractive, but you're entitled to have a crush on anyone you want.
This is more my type.

Tittat50 · 12/10/2024 13:39

@PGmicstand ooh no. Who is that

Back21970 · 12/10/2024 13:46

I hadn’t seen a photo with the dyed hair, he always seems to have his hood up now.

I too am a fan of him and most of his songs - I took my nephew to see him over 20 years ago.

Cant believe he is 50!

pavementgerms · 12/10/2024 13:47

He fairly is good looking and probably quite bright but I can't get over his attitude to women. Even if he was rapping as a character, some of the misogyny in his lyrics is unforgivable and deeply unattractive.

SausageShop · 12/10/2024 13:52

I've loved him since I was about 12. I used to kiss a poster of him 😂

I don't rate the dark hair and painted on beard but I'll still love him til the end of time

Chaoseverywhere · 12/10/2024 14:00

He’s a genius lyricist and I’ve recommended him to my teenage daughter who is studying literature. He’s a great writer and musician

PGmicstand · 12/10/2024 14:01

Tittat50 · 12/10/2024 13:39

@PGmicstand ooh no. Who is that

Peter Garrett - singer, activist, former MP. I've had a raging crush on him since I was 20.. .which was some considerable time ago.

Createausername1970 · 12/10/2024 14:12

I can see the Eminem attraction. I am going through a bit of a Jellyroll phase. Not that keen on the tattoos though.

Cardboardeaux · 12/10/2024 14:22

Eminem's never done it for me but yanbu to fancy whoever you like! But if we're talking bad boys then... Damiano David 😍

Missionimprobable · 12/10/2024 14:34

I've had a crush for years on Fatima Whitbread.
There! I've said it! Feels good to finally admit!
I'm a straight female btw but there's something about Fatima 😍

BeautyPageantDropout · 12/10/2024 14:41

I don't fancy him (especially with the aforementioned David Gest beard) but I always found the sex scene between him and Brittany Murphy in 8 Mile incredibly hot. Movie sex scenes are usually so blah.

Hellskitchen24 · 12/10/2024 14:45

I definitely don’t fancy him but love his music as I grew up with it. I’ve never actually come across anyone in the industry with anything but praise for him in terms of his character. People rave about him as a person and I guess that’s way more attractive than looks to me. Especially when he could have so easily gone the other way!

LeavesOnTrees · 12/10/2024 14:46

He called out PDiddy a long time ago in one of his songs.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 12/10/2024 14:46

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 12/10/2024 12:54

Have a crush on Dr. Dre.
And yes I know he has a terrible history with women.

Always loved Dre even though he represents everything I dislike in a man 🤷

Drawfulofbitz · 12/10/2024 14:47

He’s talented & intelligent but as a pp said the David Gest dye job is just ruining everything

CrushOnEminem · 12/10/2024 16:12

I'm going to rewatch 8 mile this evening! It's on Netflix & I haven't seen it in years! That's me sorted for the night now!

He's OK but he's no Harry Styles

FloofPaws · 12/10/2024 16:40

I'm 52 also (albeit he's 51
For a few more days!) - I adore him! I have dreams about him lol 😂 he's hot 🥰 and very clever too with his music - and a good actor too, very funny as well - perfect 🤩

Sethera · 12/10/2024 16:43

My sister's been in lurve with him for about 20 years, pictures on her walls and everything! Can't see the attraction myself but each to their own.
