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!

I still feel that Richard Chamberlain is my favourite My next 'fave' is the guy who plays 'Zain' in The Bill [I'm watching the 'olden days' ones.

I don’t think anybody has mentioned Colin Firth, my sister-in-law has had a huge crush on him ever since Pride and Prejudice. She used to live in Canada and was in a bookshop in Victoria once and the lady at the cash desk told her she had just missed Colin Firth, his first wife lives in BC, my SIL has never got over her disappointment. He’s not my cup of tea though.

I agree with allsorts, David Mitchell is just charming with such a lovely face & Lee Mack has a certain charm too . 😉

Think (#cautious optimism and cross fingers) that maybe I've finally stopped having crushes at last. It took quite a while and I even had 3 crushes in the last few years (despite being early 70's).

Now I can go back to reminding myself that crushes are probably/almost certainly the result of things like Mother Nature/hormones/Society - but not from me/Me. My brain and my logic is Me - crushes most certainly are not and are probably of Mother Nature trying to get us to reproduce (which is all pointless etc in my case - as I knew from a teenager that I didn't want to be a mother and so I made sure my body never got pregnant on me). Followed by telling my body "You can try to pull a pregnancy on me if you like - but I wouldn't let that last a week before I dealt with it - so don't even try that on me".

So - yep....I do think crushes are hormones/our body/etc and nothing to do with us/the person inside the body.

Dave Grohl is my no.1 crush
I’ve been in love with David Essex & Paul McCartney for years.
I really like Nick Knowles too 😊

Tenko

Viggo Mortenson as Aragon in lord of the Rings , long term crush

I'd agree with you there - as Aragorn anyway - I also used to have a bit of a crush on him - and on Legolas as well! But not in real life. I don't really do crushes these days.

Yes Nora, Colin Firth, I loved him in Brigitte Jones too. 😊
