AIBU to have a crush on Benson Boon?

Person93369 · 12/11/2025 21:19

Because I’m over twice his age. He’s younger than my oldest son. But my oh my! If I was 27 years younger! He is popping up on my social media constantly. I know very title about him!
For context Burt Reynolds and George Michael are my first loves!
Any other aides want to join me in Time out?

I voted YABU based on his moustache.

I have a crush on Toby Wallace tho so I’m no one to talk.

His songs are so true to life for his age- how can a 27 yo have experienced life enough to write pretty slowly- it sounds like a mid life marriage break up song! (I listen to it and cry!) Would love to see him live!

Oh girl, yabu sorry 😭😭

I dont get it at all - nice voice, cringe man

HundredMilesAnHour · 12/11/2025 21:27

We saw him at the O2 last week and his voice is absolutely incredible. He also does a pretty decent English accent which was a surprise.

Doublebubblegum · 12/11/2025 21:30

Totally agree with you. I love him.

@reversingdumptruckwithnotyreson weirdly it's the moustache that is somehow the cherry on top

Person93369 · 12/11/2025 21:31

I think I like the Moustache the most! I’ve fallen down a TikTok hole filled with boon 😄

Agreed. Love a bit of face furniture 😍

He is sex on legs.

MysteryMZ · 12/11/2025 21:37

He has very nice arms!

Pollqueen · 12/11/2025 21:37

Oh hell no. Did love Burt Reynolds though, but he was all man. This Benson chap looks like he bats for the other side for a start

Dontlletmedownbruce · 12/11/2025 21:41

I don't know if he writes his lyrics but I always feel emotional when I hear the line:

And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all

His looks wouldn't attract me straight off but the voice and talent and emotional maturity is extremely sexy and something that would really draw me in. YANBU!

TheGreenWitch · 12/11/2025 21:44

YABU. You should be crushing on Spencer Sutherland.
You’re welcome.

Oh god when he whipped off his jacket during Cry in Manchester I nearly died. He is bloody sex on legs and has an incredible voice! Such gorgeous songs too.

Yanbu

Saw him live last year ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Muttley17 · 12/11/2025 21:48

I could quite happily watch his backflips on a loop

He's 23

briq · 12/11/2025 21:53

Ick. Hate the moustache, but his face also reminds me of Trudeau, which is an even bigger turn-off. 🤢

ConnieHeart · 12/11/2025 21:53

He's not my type at all but then I'm nowhere near his age. My dd thinks he's nice. The mustache & mullet is all the rage apparently

I can't stand Beautiful Things but think he seems like a good guy. I liked his Tik Tok of What's Going On with Brian May

DrMickhead · 12/11/2025 21:54

if I was 10 years younger I’d ride him into the sunset.

Stopsnowing · 12/11/2025 21:59

Saw him live recently and was struck by the number of middle aged women were there alone! (I was taking ds - my excuse!)

Oh really???? That’s hilarious. Maybe we are harking back to mullets the first time round lol.

FrangipaniBlue · 12/11/2025 22:34

he looks a lot like my DS(17), even down to the curly mullet…… so obviously I’m a bit biased on what constitutes a beautiful young man 🤣

there must be something about the hair do though because when we were on holiday recently I did notice a couple of women checking him out who were considerably older than the girls I usually notice 🥴

ah ok, sorry, I saw 27 somewhere above, I was too caught up in my musings!!!!
