Actors you can't believe you once fancied

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.

Can't get on board with dissing Tom Hiddleston!!!!! Think he gets better with age!
All the rest I agree with though.

No way, if you saw him in the street you’d walk straight past him

EmbracingTheEyeBags · 09/02/2023 18:46

Tom Cruise.

Such a cunt

Oh yes. That is sad. He was so pretty back in the day.

Show quote history

It's not only ageing though is it, because Robert Plant is still fanciable in my eyes even though he's old and wrinkly.

I've never met a fellow Andrew fan. Nice to meet you! 😃Have you seen him recently though, he's defo aged well like a fine wine.

BrassicaBabe · 09/02/2023 18:49

The chap who played Jim Carver in The Bill 😳😳

Matt Perry!

God I fancied him SO much 🤣

Me too, I cut out his pictures and put them in my diary. What a loser.

MadeOfSteel · 09/02/2023 18:50

Nigel Harman. Came across as quite arrogant when I read an interview with him.

@ShirleyPhallus** I'd love to be able to put that theory to the test Smile

I still think Tom Hiddleston is a genius actor but he passed through peak hotness some time ago. He was utterly beautiful at one stage. I remember someone on a message board saying they'd heard he got laid like tile so I hope he made the most of it.

The thing is, it's not ageing that makes the difference, or gaining/losing weight. It's generally losing their spark.

@Rebelmcstreettuff oh same I absolutely thought he was soooo gorgeous

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? 😂

Omg I meant this for you..... He's definitely looking good these days, much better than his pretty in pink days, although I wouldn't say no to that either if I'm honest 😋

Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, David Boreanaz, Sean Bean

Axel Rose ☹️

He looks like the original Bea Smith from Cell Block H now.

I really fancied Keith Gordon. I had a thing for geeks.

foxlover47 · 09/02/2023 18:56

I used to also fancy Sid Owen and Neil
Morrisey with his long hair in boon 😅

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 09/02/2023 17:36

So very, very hot as Aragon though.

Show quote history

Could not agree more about Aragorn.

As a teen, had a huge crush on Gerard Depardieu. Wtaf 😂

Tom Cruise.

Such a cunt

Just came on to say Tom Cruise...

SlippinKimmy · 09/02/2023 18:59

I used to fancy Angus Deayton as a teenager in the 90s, god only knows why. Must have been those quips on HIGNFY.

I also fancied Ralph Fiennes and Keanu Reeves, who have aged very well indeed. (Much better than me…)

Crostimosti · 09/02/2023 18:59

Tom Cruise. I adored him in Top Gun ( I maintain it was naval aviator Maverick I fancied not Tom but I think im kidding myself)

Matthew Perry was gorgeous in series 2 if Friends! I still fancy him if I watch it now!

Max Branning in Eastenders though...what was I thinking? And I used to like David Wicks back in the day when I was a young teen. He came into where I worked once when I was in my 20s and I'm ashamed to say I went all red and giggly.

Here we go Fox's junk in a teacup.

Something else to add to my already weird search history.

Steve John Shepherd as Jo in This Life. Got a terrible shock when he appeared in Eastenders years later - he wasn't very old then but just aged so badly!!

Yes! to this one. He just lost it.

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

Christ, I had that too. It must have been Spender’s gorgeous hair. I have a thing for men with longer hair. Sadly DH has been bald/shaved ever since I’ve known him.

I hope you're male, otherwise you're out of luck 😆

For me, Johnny Depp who peaked in the POTC films
Gary Oldman, now just fat and old
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, think he's only in his 50s but he looks like an old man

Some for me have got better with age though - Keanu and Robert Downey Jr

Keanu was never on my radar when he was younger now though 😍
