Inspired by DS obsession with Steve Backshall.

He would be off round the world "too busy to do childcare darling", would come home reeking of bar poo, and would insist on taking the children to play with venomous snakes "it won't hurt them if they don't bother it".

James corden. Very smug.

SunsetCocktails · 18/05/2025 10:20

Was just about to say James Corden. Cannot stand him.

Cloudyvibes · 18/05/2025 10:24

James Cordon and Danny Dyer popped in my head.

drspouse · 18/05/2025 10:28

Should have said BAT poo though I guess bar poo could be a thing.
James Corden would insist on you doing karaoke in the car All. The. Time.

He wouldn't. He'd be too busy smarming around with celebrities and letting you do all the driving the kids around.

Ben Fogle. Women drooling at every turn.

HamSandwichKiller · 18/05/2025 10:34

Tom Cruise. I actually enjoy him on screen but suspect he’s got no off button in real life.

Whiteflowerscreed · 18/05/2025 10:35

I really like him but watching Stacy and Joe makes me think I couldn’t be married to Joe, he’s too much of a loose cannon! He seems lovely but just hectic

Hufflemuff · 18/05/2025 10:37

Mark Whalberg. I actually like him, but his workout routine would piss me off. Doesn't he wake up at 4am and go to bed at 8pm to maximise working out or some shit.

Its too much!

MoistVonL · 18/05/2025 10:38

@Whiteflowerscreed - I only managed about 20 minutes of that programme before I turned it off in self defence. I would have strangled Joe if I lived with him.

He is a puppy, no practical help, probably needs to be banned from caffeine.

PaperBlinds · 18/05/2025 10:39

Surely all of them. Except Matthew Mcfadyen.

jeaux90 · 18/05/2025 10:40

David Tennant, insufferable.

Hahaha 🤣 love how blunt you are. Yes I agree

He'd know everything about everything and if you disagree he'd act all fake concerned about your mental health. Or say he wished you'd stop talking forever.

John Travolta or Tom Cruise, or any of them in the Scientology cult.
I just couldn't imagine living under all those batshit 'rules' like no medical interventions etc

I can't see past the racist hate crimes tbh.

I wouldn't like being in that world, with someone I loved. But, at nearly 60, I can see the attraction of having your children to a rich, well connected man, with him going off and doing his own thing.

NeverOneBiscuit · 18/05/2025 11:00

Vernon Kay. He rose to fame from a reality show (modelling). On a behind the scenes for his radio show, he was eye rolling & complaining about having to interview ‘these reality people.’

Jeremy Vine. Pompous, virtue signalling bore who’d be polishing his penny farthing in the orangery.

Alexander Armstrong. See above 👆minus the penny farthing.

Walker1178 · 18/05/2025 11:02

Shane Richie, I just find him so annoying. Can you imagine sitting on the sofa watching a movie whilst he’s rabbiting away and giggling at himself?

ColinOfficeTrolley · 18/05/2025 11:05

Peter Andre popped into my head immediately. If he was chocolate he'd eat himself. Vile man.

JHound · 18/05/2025 11:24

Most of the male podcasters.

Thepeopleversuswork · 18/05/2025 11:28

Any celebrity would make a poor spouse. It’s only really workable if you’re also a celebrity or if you’re prepared to be a complete trad wife and blend into the background.

Famous people are incredibly busy and have frantic work and travel schedules. They are almost always vain, image obsessed and thin-skinned people who surround themselves with hangers-on and bag carriers. Family and close family relationships are always going to be some way down the list of priorities.

My dad was a minor celebrity in the late 70s/early 80s and my mum’s entire life got swept into being his admin assistant and support animal. He wasn’t even that well known.

I wouldnt do it for any money.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 18/05/2025 11:30

My first reaction was Robbie Williams - thinking of him fucking around attention seeking when his wife was in Labour

Those saying Corden, thinking of him causing a scene in restaurants and also that story someone told I think on here about seeing him on a flight and thinking he was so patient totally ignoring the woman with the fractious baby next to him only to realise it was his wife and child

KimberleyClark · 18/05/2025 11:33

I do like his brother Tim though, seems a sweetie.

I've always adored Harrison Ford in his movies but in real life he seems so very grumpy even when he was younger.

God yes he was horrible to Carrie Fisher.
