Who is your unusual crush?

Who do you find attractive but they're perhaps not attractive in a conventional way?

I'll start with David Baddiel. Something about him. His facial hair is sexy. He did a series cycling round France with Hugh Dennis (who I also have a crush on) and the pair of them were a joy to watch. Witty and intelligent. He's also fiercely proud of his Jewish heritage.

Ah but a lot of women feel that way. He was on HIGNFY years ago and Victoria Coren told him that she found him 'incredibly attractive'.

it really is. Beauty has to come from within aswell, and there’s none in there. Also the names he gives his kids is knob head behaviour.

Vic Reeves (Jim Moir) in the Big Night Out days about 30+ years ago. Think my husband fancied him a bit too

Those mentioning Adrian Brody - check out "Summer of Sam", an early film of his. Few people have seen it, but I thought it was great.
