Mentioned in another thread, someone admitted to liking Tony Blair (you know who you are), and just wondered if there was any other non obvious people whom we have crushes on. I must admit to liking Quinten Willson, I am sure others will come to me later.

I don't think that any hot blooded woman can deny that for his age there is no-one sexier than Sean Connery, i've recently watched him in a bond film (first time i have ever watched a bond film) and i think that he has definately improved with age. I also like Meatloaf (now that his hair has been cut off).

Quite like designer Paul Smith, love Jeff Goldblum (be still my beating heart), Gerard Depardieu (have met him in real life, very romantic, oozing gallic joie de vivre, very big (bear of a man!)) Jeremy Paxman, David Attenborough.

Also have crush on Ian Charmicheal - the now ancient actor who played Lord Peter Wimsey in the 70s TV series.

This is turning into a new celebrity one night stand thread!

Clarinet60 · 30/01/2003 22:26

Yes, I had a crush on Gerard Depardieu in Green Card. Lucky you, Aloha, fancy meeting him!

aloha · 30/01/2003 23:32

Well, he had come to have lunch with his extremely beautiful girlfriend (Carole Bouquet) who I was interviewing at the time. She told me he kept giving her spontaneous gifts of beautiful antique jewels. That's after she told me that as the face of Chanel she could choose anything by Chanel that she liked and keep it as her own. It was a bit dispiriting really. He was so romantic though, paying a surprise visit in his motorcycle leathers just to cheer her up because she'd been ill, and being all French and passionate... sigh.

Also have a big crush on Jeremy Northam, but that's a pretty obvious one, isn't it. Oh, he's gorgeous.

WideWebWitch · 30/01/2003 23:36

aloha, one of my sisters went out with him briefly.

Inkpen · 31/01/2003 00:43

Tommy Lee Jones (just watch The Fugitive for the bit where he smiles right at the end). Nelson Gabriel (does radio count?) Bit of a weakness for Alan Titchmarsh too ...

wwww, is your sister stunningly beautiful? Cos he seems to only go out with models! Was he nice?

prufrock · 31/01/2003 12:08

Oh come on aloha of course www's sister is stunningly beautiful - it runs in the family

willow2 · 31/01/2003 12:39

fms - agree that Clarkson would be a laugh - but definitely not xxxx material. Sorry.

CAM · 31/01/2003 12:48

EmmaTMG what about the dance scene with Uma Thurman? Anything that brilliant and makes me laugh that much...

loopymum · 31/01/2003 14:06

Crikey, genia - I think I would have just melted if Michael Palin had spoken to me! I think Bill Bailey is sexy too. Men who can make you laugh have a certain charm about them...

lou33 · 31/01/2003 14:09

He is v sexy whatever he does cam, except maybe that weird scientology film he made. But i could close my eyes i spose.

star · 31/01/2003 14:45

Jeremy Paxman would just scare the pants off me,all that 'come on'on university challenge.My sister has the hots for him though.Was pleased to hear he apologised for interogating nice Charles Kennedy that time about his drinking on newsnight.He is ok I think,just a bit scary.
Derek Jacobi anyone?

Frieda · 31/01/2003 15:12

Oooh, star, fraid I can't take Derek seriously after all that stuttering in "I Clavdivs". Does seem like a nice man, though.
Anyone else remember as far back as David Soul? (My friend's dh went on a bar crawl with him once, and DS left a message on their answerphone, which she rubbed off. I wouldn't have!)

Frieda · 31/01/2003 15:14

BTW, I do know what you mean about J Paxman and all that impatience, but I'm afraid that would just add to the attraction for me!

WideWebWitch · 31/01/2003 15:35

Oooh prufrock thank you, but look again at the video you've got of me gurning at the Christmas meet up and I don't think so! Aloha, my sister was a peachy skinned, wide eyed, lithe 16 year old and yes, very gorgeous at the time. Still is but she's 32 now! JN wanted to take her home with him but our mum put her foot down and came to collect my sister instantly to get her out of the grip of gorgeous predatory older man. So there it ended! She bumped into him in Covent Garden many years later and thought he was a total arse.

star · 31/01/2003 16:22

Lol Freida-b b b but I can't imagine anyone wanting to be interviewed by him.

bossykate · 31/01/2003 19:30

oh that's right prufrock, you've got video of that night! aaargh!

sis · 31/01/2003 19:57

when did the video camera come out? - you can tell just how observant I am!
