I’ll admit that having Tom Selleck (in his Magnum PI days) while James Earl Jones was whispering in my ear would be pretty hawt.

Is your wife in my bookclub? Its almost a requirement to have a crush on Gaiman, Chabon, Firth and Rickman.

I don’t think TheElf has celebrity crushes. None that I am aware of, anyway. Which I think is a little weird, but he’s a pretty weird guy. He gets attracted to people he knows personally.  
My current one is Allan Rickman. My long time one is Cary Grant. He knows this and is prepared for fangirl squealing when either show up on screen.
