Unusual Celebrity Crushes

I know this has been done before, but a search yielded only threads a year or more older. Do you have any unusual crushes? By unusual, I mean actors or actresses who are not conventionally attractive, or are attractive only to you?
Mine:

John C. McGinley
William F. Buckley
Billy Bob Thornton
David Letterman
Bill Murray
and
Steve Martin

  1. Nicholas Brendon. Typically a very goofy looking man but he cleans up well. Obviously.
  2. Alan Tudyk. More sexy goofiness.
  3. Jenna Malone. Pretty plain and exceedingly average but she really does it for me for some reason.
  4. Nana Visitor. Has a very elegant beauty, I think, but not many people seem to agree.
  5. Chiwetel Ejiofor I’ve been mesmerized by him in all the movies I’ve seen him in but I don’t know of anyone who seems to share my appreciation.
  1. Patricia Clarkson - she just seems like such a nice lady (not to mention very pretty)
  2. Ginnifer Goodwin
  3. Carolina Kluft - I love athletic woman.

That picture of Carolina puts a specific idea in my head…

Allison Janney

Laura Kightlinger

Suzanne Whang

Doug Jones. He played Abe Sapien in Hellboy (I have a bigger crush on the character of Abe, but let’s not go into that…). I think he’s kinda cute. The fact that he’s a real sweetie helps that - he seems very genuine and kind.

Amber Benson . Y’all can have Alyson.

I’ve had a weird “crush” on Patricia Neal ever since I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was 5.

Jena Malone is an unusual celebrity crush? Hm. Well, her, then. She’s my imaginary girlfriend. :slight_smile: (note: She’s only a year and a half older than I am, so the only creepiness is that I’m a girl.)

I second Allison Janney, although that is a scary picture.

I’ve had a shameless crush on “Weird Al” Yankovic since 1999 (when he ditched the glasses and grew out the fro).

Tony Shalhoub - Just started watching Monk, and saw the third episode - there are moments in it where he is so sexy to me. Goodness only knows why.

Can’t find a picture, but I loved Will Patton in Entrapment, 70’s mustache and all.

Oh - and the guy who played the captain in King Kong. Yum.

Susan

Creepy? She’s fully legal at 21. I’d still have a crush on her if she were 16, though, and the reason I included her is mostly for her obscurity. I’ve watched a lot of her movies but that’s only because I hunted them out. Most people know her only as “that girl from Saved!”, if that.

Also, I called dibs by naming her first. So hands off.

That’s kinda why I picked the picture I did. :wink:

When I was a kid, I had a crush on Gilligan. I’m pretty sure I was the only one.

I’ve also had crushes on Steve Martin and Tony Shaloub, as previous posters have mentioned. Add to that:

Danny Kaye

Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce on MASH

Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen (Tim’s father)

Phil Hartman

Conan O’Brien

Craig Ferguson

Matt Perry as “Chandler Bing”

Jon Stewart

Gregory Hines

“Sully” from Third Watch

Michael Palin

Ben Stiller

Kevin Spacey

Robin Williams

Yeah, I like the funny boys.

:eek: at Amber Benson. Nothing unusual about having that crush.

My weirdest crush was on “erotic performer” Felecia (sorry, no pictures - NSFW). I also had a thang for both Jewel and Alanis Morrisette. However, since they refused to fight it out over me, I was forced to turn to a real woman.

And yes, being married is much nicer.

When I was a kid I had a crush on just about anyone funny.

I think that’s how I get all the weird celebrity crushes. Sometimes when someone’s being funny they act really sexy as a joke, and they can act really really dirty because it’s only kidding. Especially if that person normally looks or acts like he isn’t very sexy, then I’ll get a crush on him for sure. If he normally wears a suit, then it’s twice as bad. That’s how I have this huge crush on Stephen Colbert. It boggles my mind how he just looks like a dad, but then in the back of my mind I remember him being naked or having hot gay emergency sex in the bathroom on Strangers with Candy.

So mine is Stephen Colbert. He’s completely out of control hot.

I used to have a huge crush on Jerry Lewis, way back when he was partnered with Dean Martin, and thin (early '50s).

Adrian Brody

Dick van Dyke, back when he did the Dick van Dyke Show.

Frank Zappa

Kobe Bryant

I remember Felecia! Great tan lines, typically only performed in scenes with other women.

For me, I have an amazing attraction to Fran Drescher, to the point where I catch myself lingering on The Nanny reruns on Lifetime before realizing I hate the show and don’t even care for her character that much.

For several years in the 1990s, I had a crush on Christopher Walken.

Sean Bean
William H. Macy
Adam Baldwin
Giles was far and away the hottest

…aaaaaand to finish that thought… :smack:

man on Buffy.
