Urgh, it's so disappointing. I used think Gerard Butler was every kind of phwoarrgh but have finally had to accept that he's an unwashed, bloated smelly looking guy who just isn't what he thinks he is. Arrogance without any kind of respect or charisma is just a flattened pizza with no topping stuck behind the sofa.

Orlando Bloom. It was the naked paddle boarding which gave me the ick.

Robert Downey Jr was absolutely gorgeous in Ally McBeal and earlier stuff, loved him.
But now urgh, he manages to look smug and creepy at the same time.

Jimmy Nail. Must have been during a drinking phase ….

A bit before my time so never actually fancied him but Mickey Rourke was hot in the 80s! He's completely ruined himself with surgery so I bet there's a few people that think that about him.

David Duchovny. It was Mulder, not him.

Mel Gibson... I supposed he's just aged but I fancied the pants off him in his Lethal Weapon days.

Russel Crowe but to be fair only really in Gladiator. 😂.

I can't agree about Gerard Butler though. He's still hot in my eyes.

Ross kemp 😅 once the grant Mitchell days were over so was my crush

Mrstwiddle · 09/02/2023 06:46

Agree with Mickey Rourke and David Duchovny. Keane Reeves is still okay though!

Yep! Mickey Rourke was sexy as hell in the 80's.

My exhusband morphed from Brad Pitt into Peter Stringfellow. Delighted to have divorced him

Will Smith. For decades since Fresh Prince. Then his autobiography came out and I thought he sounded like an arrogant dickhead. Followed by the Oscars debacle and now I look at him and it's like ew what was I thinking.

Leonardo DiCaprio - an absolute dish in Romeo and Juliette, less so in Titanic (sorry Jack) ... but fast forward to now ... gammony and very wrong.

LaurieFairyCake · 09/02/2023 07:02

Kevin Spacey - always thought he was really charismatic

Now.... in line for creepiest predator on the planet awards

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 09/02/2023 07:10

I rather liked Mr Pastry... the rough version.

Mine was John Thomson from the Fast Show!

Gerald Butler is known as Mr Potato Face in this house.

I fancied him in the Night Manager but then he posed in white boxer shorts and my crush melted away instantly

I thought I was the only one! I fancied him sooo much!

DisforDarkChocolate · 09/02/2023 07:28

Oh I love older David Duchovney!

newposters · 09/02/2023 07:29

I had a thing for Andrew McCarthy but mostly as the character he played in Pretty in Pink. I still have school books with big love hearts scrawled on the front with my name and 'loves Andrew McCarthy'.

Looking back now his character was actually a stuck-up rich boy who 'lowered' himself to date Molly Ringwold. He also looked malnourished. What was I thinking? 😂

Yes! I was a little bit obsessed with him as Loki (in the earlier films, before it got silly) and The Night Manager was peak hotness, and then the Taylor Swift "relationship" and white boxers killed the crush stone cold dead. Now he's looking older and thinner and a bit pinched and hair is thinning. Sad times.
