Like several others here, I find Ryan Stiles cute. I also think that Colin Mochrie (also of Whose Line Is It, Anyway?) to be very cute, though not classically handsome. (Wayne Brady is also very cute, but I don’t think that anyone would characterize him as unattractive.) I guess I’m just a sucker for a guy with a great sense of humor. ---

Sorry for bumping up this thread, but I thought of another while watching _Amadeus_—Tom Hulce. ---

Oh my gosh, I’m not the only one, then. I think he might be called “homely” (to be brutally honest) but he’s so damned funny. That alone makes him adorable. ---

**Christopher Walken** (seems to be a favourite, but everyone I’VE met responds with retching noises) **Emily Watson** And until recently I honestly thought I was the only one who wanted to hump [Hugo Weaving](http://130.94.20.88/hugo/hugo035.jpg)’s brains out and slurp them through a curly straw. ooooer. ---

Thanks to my ex-roommate, every time I think of Alan Rickman I get the weirdest mental image. We had a women’s history class together and were watching Sense and Sensibility (with Alan, and Emma Thompson and some other English people) and she was going on about how much she loved Alan Rickman and how she would watch _anything_ with Alan Rickman in it, she would even pay to watch Alan Rickman in a tutu juggling kittens. I almost fell out of my seat laughing the first time he came on screen, and now my permanent mental image when Alan Rickman is mentioned is one of him, in a pink tutu, juggling little meowing kittens. Just had to mention that. Alan Rickman’s cute, though. 🙂 ---

They’re not “hotties” in the customary sense, but they’re by no means unattractive either, but I have a thing for the women on the Weather Channel, particularly Jill Brown, though I think she works for CNN now or something. The same goes for the anchorwomen on MSNBC, particularly Ashleigh Banfield. =d She’s attractive in that way that my 7th grade pre-algebra teacher was. ---

I think Jill is back at TWC. She’s a stone babe, for my money. I also like Sharon Resultan, the perpetually pregnant little blonde. ---

**Ruby Wax**. Although I don’t think she’s unattractive, obviously, just that some misguided people might. ---

Well, there are the aforementioned men: John Goodman, Tommy Lee Jones, Ryan Stiles, Weird Al Yankovic (only since he lost the 'fro) & Oliver Platt. Then there’s Mark Messier (New York Rangers). Wow, do I get ragged on for this one; in high school, my best friend asked, "You have a crush on the _Ape-Man of the NHL_? So cruel. 🙂 And yes, I do. ---

I watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” on TV last night and was genuinely disturbed by how attracted I was to **Gene Wilder**. MMMmmmm. ---

If I saw her in a club, at her weight and figure of 5 years ago, I’d definitely have hit on her. \*\* I was in the same check-out line with her at the Watergate Safeway sometime around October 1998 or so, before she fled DC for, well, the runway or something. It was 9pm on a Sunday night, and she was wearing sunglasses. My gf was with me then, but I’ll confess I gave a second look. Not bad. Not bad at all. For the record, she bought cottage cheese. Seriously. ---

Midori. I have a thing for fiddlers. Same goes for Alison Krauss, too. And Eileen Ivers. She can fiddle like a demon, and has a degree in mathematics, too. YUM!!! And Meg Tilly, but I don’t think she’s unattractive. ---

I’ve seen quite a few women in these pages that I’m attracted to, no matter their status in other peoples’ minds. For me, I don’t know why, technically, but I’m attracted to Christine Baranski, the mature, ski-slope nosed friend of Cybill Shepherd on the “Cybill” show. I’d do her in a lot of different ways if I had the chance. ---

I don’t know she belongs in this thread really. She’s NOT unattractive… But she’s NO model. I would take her over ANY model I’ve seen… EVEN the one’s promoted to “super” status! I don’t even like models… Give me Emily Watson! I LOVE her cheeks… there, you know-- kissable! ---

I’d do her in a lot of different ways if I had the chance. Bless your heart. Whenever these debates come up in my life, I hold Christine in reserve, like Napoleon did the Old Guard. When someone thinks they’ve come up w/ the unlikeliest do-able celeb, I bring her out. 9 times out of 10, I win on the spot. Poor Cybill. She thought she was so hot, but her odd looking friend is much sexier and her two onscreen daughters (Dedee Pfeiffer and Alicia Witt) are both truly fabulous babes. 🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reveal-your-unattractive-celebrity-crush/144569.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reveal-your-unattractive-celebrity-crush/144569.md?page=11)
