The other evening I watched the final of Celebrity Best Home Cook, and found myself thinking, ‘he’s really rather cute’ about Ed Balls! I also find Chris Whitty strangely fascinating.
Is there anyone you secretly fancy?

Richard Gere
Tom Cruise
Ben Shepherd.... been in the same room, brains and body
Don Warrington... still got it
Rufus Sewell....dark and moody
Hugh Grant, daft and sexy
Nigel Havers, even now
Simon Reeve, bit young though
The guy in Mallorca files, great to dance a cheeky paso double with.

Tom Hardy for me please.

How could I forget ‘Ric Griffin’ . Swoon .

Forgot Nigel Barber, head of the world in Spectre. I shared a dressing room with him on my first ever acting job in my 60's. He was so kind. You can view him on IMDB. Think he's gay but I am faithfully married.

Enrique Iglesias and Adam Lambert gorgeous singers, also Clive Owen actor and Goran Visjnic who played Dr Lucas in ER

Toy boy crush is Gautier Capuçon. Silver Fox would be Pinchas Zuckerman.

Definitely Aidan Turner (Poldark). Gorgeousness personified. I do love tall, dark and handsome and particularly if the man has beautiful eyes and teeth. Luke Evans, Tom Hardy, Stephen Mangan, Tom Ellis are also extremely attractive. Quite like a silver fox too - the actor who plays Ray Crosby in Coronation Street for instance. And gorgeous George (Clooney).

Simon Reeve, he is so handsome, just the sort of looks I go for.
Well, used to go for!

Michael Crawford
Jeremy Irons
Art Malik
Nigel Havers

Loving this post! I have a few, but whittled it down to a come dine with me affair.
Roger Daltrey (crush since 16)
Enrique
Matt Damon
Eric Cantona

Marvin Gaye, so sexy, wish he was still here.

My fave crushes are Jason Statham, Vin diesel, Cillian Murphy and any hunky man in the Armed forces , ?

Yorki Sun 21-Feb-21 03:58:38

Oh yes and Vinnie Jones.

honeyrose Sun 21-Feb-21 08:34:43

Oh yes - and Simon Reeve! Those eyes!!! Lovely floppy hair too. I find men more attractive if they don’t realise they’re attractive.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 08:41:10

I keep popping back to see who’s been added, and had to google Rene-Jean Page. Wow! He looks gorgeous! We don’t have Netflix, what a mistake.

Katek Sun 21-Feb-21 08:48:03

Tom Ellis from Lucifer........grin

LadyO Sun 21-Feb-21 09:12:47

Agree about Adam Lambert ?
Also Rob Bell the TV presenter ?

I think most of them are well aware of how attractive they are, but it adds to the charm if they seem a bit ‘What, me, really?’

Clint Eastwood, in the film ‘Bridges of Madison County’ Stole my heart and never gave it back.. ♥️

Forestflame Sun 21-Feb-21 10:56:06

I'm in the Chris Whitty camp too.
Cuddly: actor Mark Benton.
Lustfully: Aiden Turner, Yoan Gruffud, Cuba Gooding Jnr,

DanniRae Sun 21-Feb-21 12:10:12

It's always been David Essex for me wink

Sorry about the repeats, bit of a computer (or operator) blip. Wasn't trying to make a point.

honeyrose Sun 21-Feb-21 15:05:47

I’m afraid I can’t see Prof Chris Whitty as fanciable, but he seems a really nice man, quite shy, reserved and genuine. Whenever I see him, I think of how he must have looked as a little boy - not much different, facially, I can imagine. Are you ladies fancying him for his brainpower? This can certainly be an attractive attribute, I realise.

My mind has wandered back to Charles Dance in The Jewel in the Crown in the 80s.
Very masterful..Moved like a panther... Mmmm... Quick! Pass the smelling salts
