a lot of women like Mick Jagger but probably mostly for his large … bank account. 🙂 ---

Jagger is/was a good looking guy though and a fantastic vocalist, so you can’t really say that would be an “uncommon” crush, except maybe for people under 40. ---

Sudden, new crush, [Philomena Cunk](https://youtu.be/zMgZPTbB5Hs). Her expensive vocabulary! Her deep knowledge historologizing! That mole on her throat that you’d think she’d have removed! Oh, NSFW ---

There are two option for “uncommon.” 1. Few people know that person. For many that was what they went for. 2. Below (or well below) average physical attractiveness for basically everyone (e.g. Conchata Ferrell) that you somehow like. At least for the women, none are that. Most, for the women, have gone for either less-than-spectacualrly hot (Marissa Haritgay) but still beautiful, or cute (Miucci), but non are “man, you need glasses; pronto”. I’d say that Sarah Rue (when she was fat) could’ve qualified in my view. Even then she had big boobs and a pretty face, but she wasn’t Samantha Hoopes. ---

Jean Bruce Scott (Who played Maggie Poole on Magnum PI) sexy woman in uniform. Jennifer Finnegan who’s just so cute. ---

Speaking of redheads and women in uniform, is a celebrity crush on Honeysuckle Weeks uncommon?

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I have a thing for David Thewlis. Damn, I saw him on the third season of _Fargo_ and I found him to be pretty much the most terrifying, loathsome, grotesque, abominable screen presences ever (in a good way, I mean - props to his acting skill for carrying it off.) Yet in all the pictures of him outside of that role, he looks like such an affable guy. Damn! ---

She’s pretty much the opposite of my usual type, but anatomist, anthropologist and palaeontologist [Alice Roberts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Roberts) is [mad hot](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/alice-roberts-shes-done-pretty-well-for-a-boffin-without-a-beard-9701801.html) and I’ll watch anything she presents: [The Incredible Human Journey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTdcASxv17A) was a wonderful series.
