To think Tim Curry in Rock Horror was something else?

[Fangisnotacoward]

Since Tim's passing last week, I had a mind to re-watch Rocky Horror Picture Show

And dear god, that man does something to me. 😜

Im not into Tim Curry in anything else, Im not into men cross dressing/transvestitism. Neither are a "thing" for me. But what.is.it.about.Tim.Curry.in.Rocky.Horror? Seriously. He makes me shiver with antici...pation! 😂😂

Please tell me there's at least someone out there in mumsnet world that agrees so I dont feel so alone...
Or tell me im weird...I dunno.

I love him in general not just in Rocky Horror!

i understand. In a strange way he was so sexy and masculine!

Yup, I feel exactly the same. And I usually have an aversion to men in makeup

Oh yeah, I love him. I love him in Clue, in Legend, Treasure Island etc. But they dont make me thigh rub a la Vic Reeves in Shooting Stars like he does in RHPS😂

You may be weird, but you are not alone.

I also love him in Clue.

Not normally my kink at all but he was amazingly sexy in rocky horror

I think its the raw confidence and power he has in Rocky Horror

I loved him in everything.
He was marvellous.

Oh my gosh, I thought it was just me and I didn’t understand it!

Oh yes. Frank was sexy as hell

I was 18 and returned home one evening after a night out. Mum was in bed, Dad was still up and I turned on the TV to see something, I didn't know quite what it was, but I remember being blown away. My Dad on the other hand pulled a face and made noises of disapproval. Since then I have watched it so many times, been to the live shows and absolutely adored Tim Curry. His presence in Rocky Horror was just outstanding.

Yes, I always feel like I blush a little bit watching him in Rocky Horror! I do quite like a man wearing something a bit feminine - painted finger nails, a really floral shirt, even Eddie Izzard years ago in lipstick - it gives off such an attractive confidence. But Tim Curry....

Well he's meant to be the embodiment of giving yourself over to absolute pleasure!

I can't ever be sexually attracted to a cross dressing man, but as the character he's just magnetic, like he was in everything.

I know exactly how you feel. I think it’s the fact he looked so good in the basque/ stockings that made me realise there is more than “normal”

On the radio last week, they played a clip of him singing in the Rocky Horror Show. It was so impressive. He was amazing in it (they all were).

You are not alone! I love him generally and think he’s pretty sexy in anything to be honest but this was something else entirely. Incredibly sexy and charismatic.

Totally agree, he's everything I'm not normally into but compellingly attractive in that film. The muscles, the strides in heels, the lipstick, it's witchcraft 😁

I think he was criminally underused in the industry.

Me too! I was drawn to him.

Also, in my early 20s, I was disturbed to find myself somewhat attracted to Herr Flick in Allo Allo, who sometimes wore a corset and stockings. But my unease wasn't due to the cross-dressing, it was because Herr Flick was an officer in the Gestapo. 😬

You’re definitely not alone! There’s something so sexy about a man being confident enough in his masculinity to dress in ‘women’s’ clothing and wear make up, but still unequivocally be a man. Prince had a similar vibe.

Bowie too.

Absolutely detested The Rocky Horror Show.

First husband loved it and liked to rewatch the video (that ages me!) but one viewing was more than enough for me.

I loved him as Rooster in Annie!

Oh my goodness, yes! When he’s coming down in the lift and you see the high heel tapping, I get shivers!

Rocky Horror's not for me, but Muppets Treasure Island?
