How to put yourself off a favourite actor.

[Lonelymum]

Go to one of their fan websites and read the obsessive drivel written by women who sound about 15 years old. That is what I have just done and it is cringe making. My current interest is 56 years old and surely can't be admired by teenagers, yet the comments he attracts are so immature. Perhaps I am getting old. I am only just 40 though!

Go on.....!

Kevin Spacey? (Is he in his 50's though? Seems a bit young, but I like him !)

Isn't Kevin Spacey American?

sorry, I've tring to remember his name, I'm sure it's Art (something? not garfunkle, that would be sad!) Seal, Kevin Spacey as well, for a while even Alan Titchmarsh

Oh, KS is too young. And whoops, sorry, just realised you specified he's a Brit. Hmmm, will have a think..

Don't know your Art chap, except for Art Malik (?) Oh Alan Titchmarsh, that's very housewifely of you makealist!

Ian Holm (older than 56?)

Bill Paterson? Scottish chappy - funny looking but certain twinkly something...

My List

Alan Rickman
Kevin Spacey (who as far as I know is single - no doubt gay)
Patrick Stewart (v sexy older man)
Tom Wilkinson (also sexy older man)
Colin Firth (Mr Darcy - one is overcome)
Kevin Kline (No I don't understand why either)
Johnny Depp
Bill Nighy (love anyone as deadpan in comedy as he is)
Liam Neeson
er... think that's all. I'll post more as I remember them

Mandy

That's it Art Malic, Mmmm he's really lovely. Also Jeff Goldblum and Morgan Freeman. Come on now Lonelymum, do tell???

Oooh, yes, I've always liked Kevin Kline too, Mandy. Don't think he's the one lonelymum is thinking of though

kenneth branaugh?

kenneth branaugh?

Well, no-one has mentioned him yet but of Amanda3266's list, I like Alan Rickman, Colin Firth (he went to the same school as me!) Kevin Kline and Liam Neeson (or anyone with an Irish accent!!!!!!!!)

More confessions please before I come out!

Forgot the well travelled Mr Palin. Now there is a sexy older man - too old for our guess though.

Colin Firth went to the same school as you!!!!!! Do tell more.

Can you give us another clue?

It's not Jim Broadbent is it? Or is he too old and not sexy enough.

ooh ooh i've remembered another one,
Tommy Lee Jones.

Please don't say it's Jimmy Nail. Yuck!

Oh yes! Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black II with his post office shorts on. Hilarious.

richard dreyfuss??

Well, when I say Colin Firth went to the same school as me, you have to know that I went to an all girl's school but he went to the all boys school on the same campus as my school (they have since amalgamated into one school). Also, he is about 5 years older than me so he wouldn't have been there when I was and I only found this out after he was famous. However, I found out at the same time where he lived as a boy and it was about 5 minutes walk from my home so I must have seen him at some time or another.

Anyway, none of the above has anything to do with my man. What other clues to give? He has been on TV a lot recently. Mostly period drama. Certainly used to be (if not still) a Shakespearean actor. Most recently played a character connected to the law.

Hmmmm!!! Puzzled

Can only think of Martin Shaw...

Rumpole of the old bailey ???
