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.

You can’t have Roy Keane! He’s hot! 😍

George Obbourne. I just can’t explain it.

The cat bloke from Celeb BB? 🤢

And Jason Isaacs. First noticed him in The Patriot and fancied him on the spot, despite playing a horrible character. He's aging well 😋

Nope! Jason Isaacs is hot! A bit like a poor woman’s Daniel Craig 😍

Tom Davies, Danny Dyer (especially now he’s in his Dad-Bod era), Ken Stott… oh I’m sure I’ve got loads more but I can’t think of them right now.

And yeah, I completely get David Baddiel. Have you read his memoir about his family OP? It’s so funny, makes him all the sexier.

Danny Dyer is hot 😍

How is Mark Rylance not a pretty conventionally attractive man?

He’s gorgeous!!

Gay ?

Don’t think so, more he’s not exactly modestly endowed. Allegedly

Bob Geldof

Me too.

Can't believe I'm not even namechanging for this - my embarrassing ones were/are:

Eddie Izzard (pre: the Suzy days); and
Keith Lemon 😳

@AutismMum2017 Dave Grohl is a God! In fact I have a photo of him and Josh Homme on my phone as wallpaper (obviously I have a thing for redheads and beards)

It’s the music video for No-One Knows that set me off. Josh is hot too! 😍 🤤

SorcererGaheris · 02/08/2026 20:33

John McEnroe.

I've been watching 'My Family' quite a bit of late, and am finding Robert Lindsay rather attractive.

Laurence Fox 🦊 Only to look at, it's purely physical. He'd have to never speak to me as I can't abide his views.

YES!!! 😍 I’d happily go there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s just reminded me……. As a 14 year old I fell in love with Graeme Le Saux, send him a get well card when he broke his leg AND he wrote back 🤩

Haha nooo 🤮🤮 that’s George Galloway…although George Osbourne is equally as repulsive I’d say!

That is proper sweet, I loved Graeme Le Saux too

If anybody says Ed Milliband I really think I will be 🤢

Richard Beckinsale. Not unusual in the sense that he’s unattractive, he was absolutely gorgeous. But unusual for the fact he’s been dead getting on for fifty years.

My teenage far too old for me politician crush was Dr David Owen the SDP leader 😂

Omg I had completely forgotten about David Owen I had the same teenage crush

Is it odd to slightly fancy Sam Ryder?

Nope, very normal!

Pastasaladaddict · 02/08/2026 20:48

Mark Chapman. Does the football stuff on TV. Just something very sexy about him.

I don’t know what it was about him but I just really bloody loved him.

I’m a Liverpool fan as well 🤣🤣

AutismMum2017 · 02/08/2026 20:51

I am absolutely loving this thread. Best one I’ve seen in ages!

just waiting for the really odd crushes to come in overnight 🤣🤣
