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.

Glammagran. Rufus Sewell is mine, I saw him first as Lord Melbourne. Ohhh. 💖💖💖💖💖

I first saw him in either Cold Comfort Farm or Middlemarch. Can’t remember which came first.

David Olusoga - not for his looks, but his gorgeous voice
Tom Hardy and Gilou (from 'Spiral') - both rough diamonds and a bit naughty
But my all-time crush is George Clooney - especially when he was in ER, just divine 😍😍😍

He's older than me, but Greg Davies. I'd climb that man like a tree 🤣
If I had to pick younger, Evan Peters.

Graham Swift is rather easy on the eye.

Can I choose Martin Shaw as my crush. Oh and Rupert Sewell but he is betrothed now !!

These are two of mine too. Are they both quite short?

Alan Rickman for me

Oh yes, strange isn't it when he normally played amusing villains?

Just reading through everybody else's picks, definitely Idris Elba and James Norton - though the latter is so different in different roles.

Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (and Thelma and Louise, in his younger days!)

I like Michael Mando but suspect he might be gay.

Linking this thread with the one on old women and sexy young men. We may be looking but they certainly won’t be looking back.

Thierry Henry - so gorgeous.

For many years I was mad about the ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. He had a beautiful face.

Oh dear. I told my daughter that I couldn’t take my eyes of the beautiful young man who’s in the Chanel Bleu advert and she told me it’s Christopher Chalamet blush I feel very uncomfortable about that….

Adam Lambert ❤️❤️. The hips. The strut. Those eyes. Seen him solo and with Queen over the years Have met him several times and he is the sweetest, sexiest guy ever. Apart from Rufus Sewell 😂. Love him too though clearly a lot of competition for him.

Oh yes. On King Charles’ equerry Lt. Cmdr. Johnny Thompson. 💕

I agree with this.I saw him dance often when he was young, and I’ve spoken to him, too. He wasn’t very tall, but yes, beautiful.

James Norton. Stopped watching Grantchester when he left😢
Bill Nighy, but too old for me now 😁
Aidan too, but I think he’s rather on the short side. I know nothing about his feet…
Another vote for the King’s equerry.
