Maybe they aren’t great at acting, maybe you love them for nostalgic reasons or because they seem like a great person IRL!

Chris Kamara is clearly not an irrational celeb to love but I don’t see football much so he’s not obvious for me. Will always stop and watch something he’s on.

Also love Jeff Stelling, his voice is very relaxing.

Can’t believe nobody has said Tom Hardy, he loves dogs, he reads stories to kids, an amazing actor and have you seen him?

I feel like this is just obvious 😂

Stacey Solomon, she just makes me smile, so daft and kind.

Mama2many73 · 09/07/2025 07:34

Ive read the whole post and I think 'irrational' could be used because its irrational to love someone you've never met, never spoke to!

I didnt think I had many until I started reading and I'm like 'oh yes' ! BUT there's also some 'WHO? NO WAY? thoughts about some of these suggestions, guess that would make them irrational!

Love Claudia W. and Tom Hardy (came to THAT party late!)
Josh Gates (adore him)
Mae Martin (massive, massive girl crush)
Sandra Bullock

I really like Stephen Bartlett. He comes across very confident, honest but kind with it. He's also quite lovely to look at imo

I also love Andrew Scott. Brilliant actor and has a smile to light up a room

Richard Ayoade. He’s perfect.

Joseph Morgan, aka Klaus from The Originals/ Vampie Diaries. I don't know why but I so would.

MorrisZapp · 09/07/2025 19:49

Joe Lycett. I'm a terf, he's a TRA but I'm convinced we'd still be besties.

Barry Taylor from Sorted Food
Love them all but Barry especially , he has a daffy innocence (and in the Hallowe'en Pumpkin Cupcakes YouTube , even in all that horror make-up !)

Baarrrrrrrr-eeeeey Grin

My girl crush is the fabulous Dame Margaret Ebunoluwa Aderin-Pocock
She's so clever, upbeat and enthusiastic. Lovely personality & very inspirational. Not really an irrational one!

Oh I absolutely love Maggie. She just glows with warmth and intelligence. Her voice is so full of enthusiasm and genuine character.

And she has a wonderful, infectious sense of humour too.

I mean it’s not irrational but George Clooney 🤷🏻‍♀️

Which Richard Whiteley sex scandal? I can't find anything about this

I'm sure I remember a woman doing a kiss and tell about Richard - he got the nickname 'Twice nightly Whiteley' 😂

I had the pleasure of working with her once (actually a few times). I was the only (very young) woman in the room, alone with some very high profile men in the world of maths and science (Roger Penrose for one!). When she walked in, she ignored all the men and walked straight over to me to introduce herself. I was a nobody, really, but I’ll never ignore that beautiful and powerful act of microfeminism that reminded me that in a room full of important men, l still mattered and I shouldn’t shrink myself. I’ll remember it forever!

I’m now a fan just on the strength of your post! What a woman. And a lovely tribute you’ve paid to her. I hope someone on here knows her and passes it on! (Or if she’s on here I hope she reads it! 🙋🏻‍♀️)

Oh I absolutely loved Patrick Swayze. I think he was very underrated as an actor but very sweet & humble

I recently found out Bea Arthur was once a marine! She was quite a woman.
