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.

Agree with Johnny Depp and Tom Hiddleston. Also Alan Rickman, I always loved him but having read the first few chapters of his diaries much less so.

What does he say in his diaries that put you off?

TakeMeToKernow · 09/02/2023 20:38

Brendan Fraser

I’d only seen him in The Mummy

Tom Cruise.

Such a cunt

Everytime he lands his helicopter to "Surprise fans" I always assume his church has just 'offed someone.

I got the reverse with Orlando Bloom!

I DIDN’T fancy him, and then I saw the paddle boarding pics!

BCBird · 09/02/2023 20:43

I liked Philip Schofield and Ross Kemp. Tend to still favour the bald chunky liook🤣

Russell crowe, maximus decimus yumius to Zeus fatso repulsivus although to be fair it all went down hill pretty sharpish soon after Gladiator.

This has made me snort 🤣

I don't think I regret any of my crushes.

Leonardo DiCaprio was as fit as back in my teenage days. Titanic <fans self>

Toby Maguire was a strange choice but he seems nice enough.

I agree with you re Steve John Shepherd in Eastenders @JaneJeffer; they gave him some fabulous lines. But then I'd never seen him in anything else.

I think he made them up himself! I was gutted when he was killed off.

ItsCalledAConversation · 09/02/2023 20:49

Leonardo Di Caprio. I adored him. I now have to accept he’s a bloated old sex pest.

So very, very hot as Aragon though.

Show quote history

Totally agree it’s Aragorn not the actor at all!

PlanningTowns · 09/02/2023 20:55

Jared lehto from my so called life. Oh when the rumour went round that he had died 😭😭😭. Now not so much.

catsareme14 · 09/02/2023 17:32

Viggo Mortenson but only as Aragorn . Any other role is an absolute No !

Yes.

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

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 09/02/2023 21:03

@Theunamedcat and definitely not Gary as Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses!! Although he is brilliant in it.

mine? Jeremy Renner

I can't tell the difference between him and Walter Matthau

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? 😂

Watched this the other day! They were sooooo young looking!

Daffodilis · 09/02/2023 21:09

Val Kilmer

I really fancied Richard Madley as a teenager.

Confused proper belly laughed!!

Spaceprincess · 09/02/2023 21:13

When I was about 12 I totally fancied William Shatner as James T Kirk. Those tight trousers and Beatle boots!
this was early 80s, I was a bit of an odd kid.

flapjackfairy · 09/02/2023 21:16

I had a thing for the bloke who played Boon if anyone remembers him. I think he turned to the drink and turned up in eastenders years later v much changed . He passed away a short while later . V sad.
Ditto Neil Morrisey in his long haired phase . V nice but I went off him when he had a fling with Amanda Holden when she was married to Les Dennis.

IClaudine · 09/02/2023 21:16

Richard E grant. Tbh I still fancy him …

He seems to be a genuinely lovely person, so I think that's why he is still attractive.

I had a humungous and secret crush on Robbie Coltrane when he was playing that Scottish psychic detective whose name I now forget. Went on for ages - the crush and possibly the series as well. Then he turned up as Hagrid and - yeah, it was just a hairy man mountain too far.

KillingMeDeftly · 09/02/2023 21:25

To be fair, Richard has aged well @Pardon44!

Ewan McGregor urgh! What a wanker!

Yes! I loved him when he did the Long Way Round motorcycle thing. Then he ditched his beautiful wife and went the whole clichéd new young girlfriend thing. Bleugh.
