Have been watching Vienna Blood, and am now lusting after the utterly delicious Max, played by Matthew Beard, new actor to me, oh my goodness not only is he beautiful, but his voice….
My daughter said, know your age mum, it should be the other lead, Oskar you should be swooning over, haha age is only a number!

Oooh, how could I forget Stephen Mangan - he seems such a lovely man.

Johnny Depp in the first Pirates of the Caribbean and also Jeff Goldblum.
I think I go for the moody type

My husband's free! Constantly ruddy moody. 😊

Another vote for Johnny Flynn, especially when singing, eg in ‘Emma’
Young Jared Leto in ‘My So-Called Life’
Leonard Whiting in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in about 1967!

I think I fancy any man who smiles at me now. What a saddo I am!

James Norton and in North & South series Richard Armitage really great versatile actors swoon.

I had a serious thing for David Gandy for many years.

Andrew Scott ( priest in Fleabag )
Ramin Karimloo - he was in Holby City, is an amazing singer, and has played leads in Les Mis and Phantom.

Aidan Turner in Poldark

What a fabulous list! My fave still being Matthew Beard, especially when he looked straight into the camera, obviously at me, and spoke in his delicious voice, about La petite mort, I am still swooning🥰 and blushing

Alex Higgins. So much bad stuff, but that face.
Bob Mortimer wanted here for dinner guest.
Benedict Cumberbatch

My OH. Met him when we were 19 and got together at 70 ! He’s even more gorgeous now and still my best pal.

I've always been a fan of Ray Winstone although the awful scene in the lift in the film The Sweeney was totally cringe making!! I do love Stephen Mangan, such a lovely voice & his hair looks so soft, I'd like to touch it...

Casdon Fri 20-Sept-24 20:59:06

Your partner doesn’t qualify as your crush tictacnana, it’s the unrequited nature of a crush that is (sadly) the unique feature!

Here’s my Bryan Ferry now picture for you hollysteers - he is my long time crush, only replaced recently by Tom Petty, and he is still gorgeous.

hollysteers Fri 20-Sept-24 21:04:25

I agree Casdon, a crush shouldn’t include our DHs, past or present. It’s usually one sided and often unrealistic.
Although I’m waiting for Bryan’s phone call to confirm our date at the Ivy😁

Bob Mortimer. I'd sit on a river bank with him all day long!

Marmight Fri 20-Sept-24 22:27:09

Michael Palin

I claimed him first!!

He's already spoken for, valdavi

You can borrow him whenever Pierce Brosnan pops round chez moi for dinner.

Babs03 Fri 20-Sept-24 22:36:32

Bill Nighy. He is just so charming but with a naughty twinkle in his eye.

Oh, I thought Oskar in Vienna Blood was lovely!

He had such sad eyes! He needed mothering and looking after!

😥

And more ☺️
Oskar does it for me, Max? Nah.

Oreo Fri 20-Sept-24 22:40:17

Jensen Ackles , played Dean Winchester in the Supernatural series. Just 🤩

missdeke Fri 20-Sept-24 23:01:52

How about Sam Heughan from Outlander.

Shirls52000 Sat 21-Sept-24 07:26:03

It’s changed over the years, started with David Cassidy then Roger Daltrey moved on to Tom Hanks (still a crush) Hugh Jackman ( also still a crush ) and Vito Coppola from Strictly since seeing him on Masterchef 😂

Emelie321 Sat 21-Sept-24 08:06:09

I thought I was well past it until I saw Sam Heughan from Outlander..younger than my own children, too.How disgraceful is that....
But I'll admit to still having a thing for Bill Nighy.
