Late Flowering Lust !

I've just watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga for the third time, and i have to confess that Dan Stevens makes me go weak at the knees ( usually it's low blood sugar ).
I thought he was beyond brilliant in Downton of course, gorgeous in The Guest, loved him in Blithe Spirit, but the sight of him cavorting round to The Lion of Love almost gives me a heart attack !
How can anyone look so tasty ?
I'm also heartbroken because it doesn't appear to be out yet on DVD and i wanted to buy it for myself as a Christmas treat !
Who do you lust over ?

I am a long-standing admirer of Sean Bean. Aiden Turner is rather nice too (even if Aiden is -shamefully-about my son's age!) And I would seriously swoon to meet Michel Roux, the wonderful chef. A gorgeous guy who can cook! Now that really floats my boat!

My beautiful OH, especially in his Naval uniform - passed a long time now - but still get butterflies when I see us as young people in old photos.
Also David Essex, voice and looks!

Martin Shaw, like a fine wine he has just got better and better with age.

This is a toughie!? Henry cavill/Tom selleck/Andy Garcia/the biker in village People!/ always Al Pacino(specially in serpico) I think there's a pattern here......DH is a blend of all these but I only realised when my DS pointed this out to me! And I thought it was the uniform!(well it did help?)

Snowbell Wed 17-Nov-21 13:16:19

Douglas Henshall in Shetland. Don't know why, he's not particularly good looking. Just love his manner! And Robson Green - same reason

JaneR185 Wed 17-Nov-21 13:18:28

Despite my advanced age Simon Baker and Damian Lewis made me quiver. I used to rather admire, albeit in a platonic way, Lawrence Fox but he turned out to be a complete idiot.

Gabrielle56 Wed 17-Nov-21 13:19:49

Just an aside: best stunt I ever pulled? Walking up to my husband in crowded shopping mall and chatting to him for a few minutes- before giving him the biggest passionate snog in full view, he being in full uniform complete with helmet !!! The expressions on everyone's faces was priceless!

Naninka Wed 17-Nov-21 13:24:19

Idris Elba, Mark Harmon and Chigs off TGBBO.

Azalea99 Wed 17-Nov-21 13:30:04

Eric Fleming (Gil Favor from Rawhide)
Bertie Cavell
Ralph Fiennes (but only as M)
Can’t remember his name, but the blonde one in Butch Sundance

SADIEW Wed 17-Nov-21 13:40:28

Tom Hiddleston or Sebastian Stan do it for me

Merrymary Wed 17-Nov-21 13:48:33

Geovanni Pernice from Strictly. Have bought tickets for his show next March!

Curlywhirly Wed 17-Nov-21 13:49:51

George Clooney - especially when he was in ER, just divine ? Even though not in my heyday (I was too young) Cary Grant. Also Paul Newman, not only handsome, but had a social conscience and gave millions to charity- gorgeous inside and out. Tom Hardy - a rough diamond with film star looks. Aiden Turner, Jason Momoa, ....... I could go on all day! What a lovely thread!

gulligranny Wed 17-Nov-21 13:50:26

Lutalo Muhammad, the Taikwondo Olympian. Not only beautiful to look at but with a gorgeous voice and lovely manners - sigh. Wish I was 50 years younger ...

Aidan Turner, he has divine lips.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, but only if he doesn't speak. I get a great amount of pleasure watching him bending over a snooker table, but he has a horrible voice.

And voices are possibly even more important than looks, although Art Malik has both.

Annaram1 Wed 17-Nov-21 13:52:09

Gabrielle. is your husband a policeman?

Oldnproud Wed 17-Nov-21 14:00:30

I wonder what sort of reaction there would have been to this thread if it had been started by one of the male Gransnetters asking the others who they lusted after.

I can't decide whether to put a grinning or a shocked emoji now, 'cus I'm genuinely unsure how I would have felt about it!

Alison333 Wed 17-Nov-21 14:05:41

Aidan Turner, easy on the eye and he's got such a nice voice!

Ooh Gabrielle you’ve just jogged my memory - Andy Garcia in Mamma Mia II - lawdy ?

Suzey Wed 17-Nov-21 14:12:16

Too many to mention

MissAdventure Wed 17-Nov-21 14:15:08

I'm in the boy George camp (pardon my pun)
A cup of tea for me.
