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.

Roger Allam. Warm expression, gentle eyes, and that voice!
Mark Kermode - there’s something about a man with a passion, as long as it’s not sport or cars.
Speaking of which, David Olusoga, although I concede that he is in fact genuinely beautiful.
Amol Rajan. Cute as a button.
And I agree with a pp about Inspector Japp, though I can’t imagine why.
Is Stephen Mangan too attractive to qualify? His flight air of bafflement, lush curls (better when grey), and quiet humour.
There we are, one for every night of the week either weekends off 🤣

Oh yes!

Like Aramis in Dogtanian - loads of us fancied him I seem to remember from another thread

And I get it re cartoon fox Robin Hood!

There was a cartoon called the Secret of NIMH featuring a hot rat called Justin. He was my first love.

Oh Tim. I know he was brilliant in Rocky Horror but I'll always think of him as Long John Silver. The children never got tired of watching it. You could tell he was loving it too. My now adult son says he was brilliant at voiceover work too. RIP Tim

I see Roger Allan voice and raise you Ray Brooks for the That Voice Award.
He did loads of acting , the voice of Mr Benn and play Pauline Fowlers second husband Joe .
