It struck me last night watching "Delia through the decades" on TV that I've always had a bit of a crush on Delia Smith.
Whilst not wanting this thread to go down any sordid or sexist routes, I was wondering what secret crushes shipmates would admit to.

WW. This is going off at a tangent but your posting has triggered something I've never understood. Do you know why is it some gay men have crushes on Judy Garland (as Dorothy) and Doris Day for example?

![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) I have a secret crush on Howie Mandel The one time I confessed this to someone she didn't stop laughing for the rest of the evening and she still likes to joke about me being "hot for Howie".
I also have a small thing for Eddie Izzard, but mostly my crushes are on fictional characters (it's not Colin Firth, it's Mr Darcy as Firth portrays him; it's not Johnny Depp, who I could take or leave, it's Jack Sparrow, and so on).
My husband has pointed out that all these people are rather odd in some way and often rather narcissistic. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

For a long time post-LOTR I had a secret crush on Orlando Bloom (yes, I know, I know). I think it was the pointy ears that did it. I must have been quite badly smitten, because at the time I didn't even find it embarrassing.

OMG, Prettyfly, I've got an anti-crush on Howie Mandel. I literally have to turn the channel when I catch him on anything but the odd re-run of St. Elsewhere, which I liked.
I used to be an ardent X-Phile and adored David Duchovny as Fox Mulder. I still think he is a cutey and try and catch him when he appears on talk shows.

Fox Mulder definately.
Neo is a real crush, not Keanu Reeves, just the character. Oh and of course Jack Sparrow. Odd isn't is that it is so often the character not the actor.

I once had a boss named Leo who was very good-looking. I had a secret crush on him.
This may be why I appreciate the postings of a certain Shipmate, even though I know that that's not his real name and he probably looks nowhere like my old boss.

I have a list.
1)Phillip Glenister as Gene Hunt. Such ill-manners, loud brash, drunkard yet tenderness and loving at the same time. Those blue eyes and that masculine face. YOWZA.
2)Robert Downey, Jr. as Sherlock Holmes. That wit, brains and brawn...sharp, dark piercing eyes. Such intensity. Detective, come inspect me now!
3)Kevin James as Paul Paul Blart. Such pretty eyes and makes me laugh, plus he can kick some butt. The Segway PT looks cool to me. I know I am weird but hey.
4) Secret guy-I-know-through-church. Nerd, quirky, sensitive very bold guy, came right up to me and told me his life story. I want so badly to rip off his...read his bible with him. *sigh*

Not such a secret crush but definitely an embarrassing one - Phillip Schofield. Especially since he stopped dyeing his hair and has gone beautifully grey! He was my first crush as a little girl and has stayed with me ever since

My first was (blush) Gil Gerard, from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
In my defence, I was about 9 at the time.
My first real, send-the-actor-a-birthday-card crush was Lee Curreri, who played Bruno in Fame. Strangely enough, a few hundred miles away a certain Hugal was having similar feelings for Valerie Landsburg who played Doris. Funny old world.

My male friends and brothers think she is ugly, with a terrible voice; but I have a crush on (Australian Deputy Prime Minister) Julia Gillard. This is not new but started 12 or so years ago when I first saw her on a late night news programme. My partner knows and is not jealous or worried (there are resemblances).

Purple Daisy - don't worry. I'm with you on Philip Schofield (altho it's not widely known!) Whereas my Alan Rickman "Thing" is.
I'm afraid I had a bit of a (really I can't explain it at all, because it wasn't due to physical attraction) Thing for Baldrick in Blackadders 2 & 4. Now that really is wierd.

Yes to Alan Rickman - in fact YES! Yes! Oh, YESSS!!! to Alan Rickman.
Years and years ago when I was a little lad just becoming aware of such things my first serious celebrity crush was on Barry Curtis who played Ricky North in Champion the Wonder Horse. I wanted us to ride off into the sunset together - I don't think I was clear at that point what we do once we got wherever we were going but I was in lurve!

Have you done anything? If not, why not give it a go- needs courage but what have you got to lose?
If someone owned up to having a secret thing about me, even if I wasn't interested (as I wouldn't be, being very happily attached), I might be a bit embarrassed but I'd probably also be very flattered.

Lorraine Kelly.
To me she is the embodiment of the not-too-common phenomenon of the friend's really nice mum that you fancied in your teenage years. Sort of like Perry's feelings towards Mrs Paterson (both of Harry Enfield's Kevin & Perry)
My wife is aware of this crush, but I can't recall if I explained the above rationale. Plus I like her accent.

Not a crush in a sexual sense, but I love Lorraine Kelly, I think she must be a great entertaining friend to have. She is the person that I would most like to have lunch with.

Oh heck, me too. I'm also developing a bit of a crush on Renee Fleming. Fine, except I'm a straight female. Mind you, opera's pretty good at mucking around with gender and sexual identity at the best of times (trouser roles etc), with general diva-worship too it can be a heady mix!

Nein, chap. Nyet. Thanks for your concern about my state of affairs.
I've left out
5) Alan Rickman - that voice, melts me like honey...loved him in Love Actually, even though he was not very nice in that movie
6) Simon LeBon - new wave retro. Ahhh. Vanilla Chocolate
7) Michael Tait - DC Talk black singer who loves heavy metal. I dreamt once like 6 or 7 years back we were engaged and my friends were giving us a party at Chevy's.
8) MacGyver - that ingenuity, that charm, that mullet.

most of my celebrity crushes aren't so secret, I am happy to announce them.
BUT - a few weeks ago I happened to admit a strong attraction to Jack Black. I was teased and ridiculed by my friends.
but there's just something wonderful about him. perhaps it's the 12-year-old in the 40-year-old body. I don't know.
shut up.

WW. This is going off at a tangent but your posting has triggered something I've never understood. Do you know why is it some gay men have crushes on Judy Garland (as Dorothy) and Doris Day for example?
Also Joan Crawford; also Bette Davis. To quote a lyric, 'I don't know why, but I do.'

I suppose as I started this thread off I should fess up to various crushes over the years. So by way of confession being good for the soul, in no particular order:
Daphne from Scooby Doo
Sarah Greene (one time Blue Peter presenter)
Claire Grogan (lead singer with Altered Images)
Wonder Woman (not fussed about Linda Carter though)
Nigella Lawson
Anna Chancellor ("Duckface" in Four Weddings)
Fiona Bruce
And as others have mentioned opera singers Leslie Garrett.
There I feel so much better for sharing!
Does anyone know a good therapist?
