Do you have an ‘old lady crush'?

Or an ‘old gentleman crush’, if you are not an old lady?
I have been watching The Good Doctor, about a surgeon with autism and savant syndrome. You must suspend belief a great deal, but I have developed the said ‘old lady crush’ on Freddie Highmore, who plays Shaun, after seeing him interviewed on You Tube.
My friend loves Harry Styles, and my daughter-in-law says her crush is Timothee Chalamet ( whoever he is)

I don’t count my Paul McCartney or Sam Neill crushes, as they are nearer in age.

My Grandmother used to say "you're never to old to appreciate a nice young man"
I'm beginning to know what she meant!.
Must say I admire most of them

I wonder if he's the same tree surgeon we used, Nell8, although I did just think "Ooh, you'd make a lovely SIL"!
I must be getting old 🙂

I have a team of very fit tree surgeons who visit once a year. The palpitations, weak knees and hot flushes I experience when they get to work make me think I must rein in my fantasies.

I've just binge watched every season of The Detectorists and now allow myself crushes on Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones.
I think they have hidden depths!

Regé-Jean Page, wish he would make some adult audio books.

Freddie Highmore was also in Bates Motel and he was absolutely brilliant.

Andrew Scott ( Fleabag ) - another lovely gay man.

How could I have forgot Andrew Scott, yes gay I know who cares, so good looking, what a priest! Sadly none so hot as that when I went to mass on a regular basis, they tended to have looks more along the lines of Michael Gove the more bog standard variety.

Just discovered Alan Richman in Reacher, who reminds me of my first fiance, and Jason Mamoa. I like tall men with broad shoulders it seems...

Great minds think alike! Jamie Fraser aka Sam Heughan definitely does it for me!! We 66 year olds must be very like minded!
I can agree with others though that it would be lovely to have a gay man as a best friend , Johannes from Strictly comes to mind. He would be great to go shopping with.
I can’t complain though, I have a lovely husband whom i still fancy like mad ( who is 9 years younger) and who feels the same way!!

Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders for me !! Love a dangerous man with a conscience !!

Regé-Jean Page

(but I'm always hoping for a call from Brad Pitt, just not sure if he's aware that I'm widowed and therefore available.....)

Oh yes Jaxjacky, David Gandy, I’ve come over all unnecessary blush

Also Ramin Karimloo. He was in Holby City, and also well known for main roles in Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera.

teachkate years ago, the house next door to me was rented out to a Newcastle Utd player - Les Ferdinand used to pick him up to take him for training just outside Durham.

David Gandy I. His underwear - used to lighten any visit to M&S
Idris Elba
Les Ferdinand
Regé-Jean Page

Will Young - Oh young man!

Didn't think I had one until I watched an episode of 'the Couple Next Door' last night. Don't know his name but the blonde haired neighbour ( with the body) who with his wife is into non-monogamy.

If you like Sam Heughan, I can highly recommend Outlander.
Quite a bit of body in that..... thankfully!

Mine is Gillian Anderson . It’s just like a schoolgirl crush and I love it. Also Jason Mamoa ….. maybe it’s long hair 😂
