Who are your current celebrity crushes?

[mvd]

Last topic of this kind that I saw was in October, so I will start a new one.

At my age in my 30s, crushes are not so much a go wild about put their picture on the wall thing - they are more of a normal attraction you have while paying attention to real life things more. But I still get them.

My list is pretty much the same as before. Actresses include Kaley Cuoco, Zooey Deschanel, Yvonne Zima, Sharon Case, Adrienne Frantz, Elizabeth Hendrickson, Alison Brie, Amber Tamblyn, Ashley Greene, Natalie Portman, Salma Hayek. Music crushes include Alison Sudol, Bee Sharp, Kelly Ogden, Jilette Johnson, Michelle Branch, Stacy DuPree, Kacey Musgraves, Christina Perri

So who are yours?

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Theo James

Small role in Downton Abbey (the 'Moor' who died at DA) and then CBS short-lived 'Golden Boy'
Soon to be in Divergent, London Fields, Franny, Insurgent, Allegiant. (busy boy!)

[Liberalynn]

2. Still Julian Mcmahon

even though he hasn't done much lately.

[Still Blue in PDX]

19. He's high on my list, too. Reminds me a lot of Montgomery Clift with those beautiful eyes. nt

[Liberalynn]

71. There is a strong resemblance!

[pipi_k]

3. This guy...

And yeah, the photo is from like 35+ years ago, but damn...

[mvd]

4. I remember my first ones in the 80s

Debbie Gibson and Tiffany and Molly Ringwald. I was so thrilled to get to go to a Debbie Gibson concert.

[Xyzse]

5. Sam Elliott

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000385/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t28
He tends to play the old style cowboy grizzled veteran nowadays.

[pipi_k]

15. Yep, he does...

and he's still hot.

[Skittles]

31. aw that voice

*SWOON*

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. He's still hot, and he has a great voice n/t

[monmouth3]

36. Jason Statham..n/t

[TexasBushwhacker]

70. Yup, guys who think bald isn't sexy just don't get it

If you were sexy when you had hair, you will be sexy when you lose it.

Jason Statham with hair:

[Xyzse]

6. I don't know.

I mean, there are many attractive celebrities, but I don't equate them with a crush any more.

If it is basically just who I find attractive, I can name some, but an actual crush... No one really comes to that point any more.

[mvd]

7. I see what you mean. I call them crushes because I like them more than the usual..

But yes as said, they aren't like when I was a teen.

[Xyzse]

8. Ok, then... I'll create a quick list

Intellectually:
-Donna Edwards
-Vanessa Mae
-Emma Watson
-Natalie Portman

Physically:
-Keeley Hazell
-Gina Carano

Vocally:
-Shana Halligan
-Skye Edwards

[Aristus]

9. Morena Baccarin.

She has my vote as one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[rocktivity]

10. Shawn Boburg, the local reporter who broke Bridge(t)-Gate

got a Polk Award out of it, too!

[NewJeffCT]

11. I've got a few

they're always changing, though.

Melissa Rauch, Bernadette from Big Bang Theory
Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld movies, and many others
Emilia Clarke, Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones
Freida Pinto, from several movies, including Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Alyssa Milano
Chloe Bennet from Agents of Shield

and probably some others that I'm currently forgetting

[mvd]

12. Oh yes forgot Alyssa

She 's still one of mine

[mvd]

53. Also could have listed Amy Heidemann of Karmin

Not a huge fan of their music, but she is quite attractive..

[dawg]

13. I pretty much only crush on women I know in real life.

Good looks can only take you so far with me.

I'm actually more interested in this thread for the men. I need to find ways of making myself look more like the crushable male celebrities. Or at least to project a sexier image.

[pipi_k]

14. Oh yeah, and...

[Skittles]

16. Dr. Tyson

*SWOON*

[rocktivity]

20. You're too late

He's already spoken for.

rocktivity

[Skittles]

26. she is formidable but I think I can take her

I will distract her with shiny objects and hope her extraordinary cuteness and beauty won't distract me

[Manifestor_of_Light]

30. See my post further down about the Studmuffins of Physics, as I call them.

[shenmue]

17. Benedict Cumberbatch

[Coventina]

40. Ditto for me on the Cumberbatch!

I'm also fond of Clark Gregg as "Agent Coulson", Michael Emerson and Jim Caviezel on "Person of Interest"*, and Jim Parsons.

*I know Jim Caviezel is a right-winger, but love him as Mr. Reese on POI, and, it makes shipping Finch/Reese just that much more fun!

[Callmecrazy]

21. Let's see...

Charlize Theron
Amy Adams
Michelle Pfeiffer
Lindsay Vonn
Katy Perry

[alarimer]

23. If by crush you mean, follow them on Twitter and hope desperately they will reply to me just ONCE

That's all I ask. Is that weird? Well, okay, it is weird.

It would be James May. I don't like the other two much (in fact I pretty much hate Clarkson, yet I hate-follow him on Twitter, too, so whatever).

But James is sort of a disheveled, nerdy type that just sort of appeals to me.

I really need to get a life.

[My Good Babushka]

35. Those Top Gear guys?

My son watches Top Gear on Netflix and that show makes me crazy. They are so rude! They are always destroying public property and messing up traffic patterns and spoiling other people's stuff and setting fires.

[alarimer]

47. I think most of that is faked.

I enjoy it though.

[pitohui]

49. one of my celebrity crushes tweeted back to me

now i am too shy to comment in his feed or even mention his name, he's a session musician so he doesn't have millions of followers & it seems like he tries to answer everyone

fortunately he was only the side crush or i probably would have fainted, my main crush is a musician who modeled a few times, he's truly beautiful but only tweets back to other famous people so he's pretty safe as a celebrity crush

[kwassa]

24. Kerry

[Chan790]

25. All my crushes are intellectuals and academics.

Probably more than anybody else currently is video blogger, educator and sex-positive feminist Laci Green.

No picture, go read her blog or watch her YouTube channel. http://lacigreen.tv/

[Manifestor_of_Light]

29. Smart people are interesting!

[mvd]

32. Definitely!

I also can't get a crush on any Republicans. Not one in my list to my knowledge is a Republican, and many are Democrats/liberals or liberal for their genre.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

34. Ever notice the snarl that lots of Republicans have?

Dick Cheney being the major example. Busy being mean to people.

[mvd]

48. Yes I do

Sometimes they do have a certain weasel look also reflecting what is inside.

[a la izquierda]

27. Gael Garcia Bernal

'nuff said.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. My avatar, Dr. Brian May.

1. Rock star/ staff astrophysicist for Queen.

2. Lewis Black who is adorable. He's very very nice despite his salty language.

3. The past Studmuffins of Physics: "Big Al" Einstein, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan.
The present Studmuffin of Physics: Neil deGrasse Tyson.

4. Science person I could have an intelligent conversation with: Bill Nye.

5. Movie stars: Liam Neeson and George Clooney. Dug Neeson ever since Schindler's List.

[applegrove]

33. Timothy Oliphant of "Justified"

[Frank Cannon]

37. Olivia Wilde.

Good Lord. It helps that she seems like a fairly nice, intelligent person, too.

[architect359]

38. Ashley Suzanne Johnson

[logosoco]

39. Neil DeGrasse Tyson!

He is cute and he is making science cool!

At my age (almost 50), I find myself looking at "celebrities" differently. I will see a nice looking young man and then realize I am old enough to be his mother! Ew!

[rocktivity]

51. See Post #20

[Broken_Hero]

41. Salma Hayek, nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

42. At my age (64) I feel embarrassed about calling it a crush

especially if it's about a young actress. But if you're talking about a celebrity whose beauty or charm is so irresistible you have to acknowledge it at whatever age, I would say the most awesome I've noted in recent years is French actress Vahina Giocante. She just looks like a glamorous star the way stars were beautiful and glamorous in the old Hollywood. If I were a young man, it's probably her poster I'd have on my wall. She's extraordinary. Cate Blanchett is someone who also comes to mind, for her combination of regal beauty and acting talent.

In this film she appears with Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame) and you can see her extraordinary young beauty on display.

[TuxedoKat]

44. What movie is the second clip from?

I love historical movies. TIA.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

46. That would be "The Libertine"

[derby378]

65. I always thought that movie was drastically underrated

Great ensemble in this one - Johnny Depp didn't have to carry the whole production. His opening and closing remarks, however, sealed the deal for me.

[blueamy66]

43. Tom Hiddleston and Bradley Cooper

and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon....

And, forever and ever and ever, Steve Perry.

[Coventina]

54. D'oh! Forgot Tom Hiddleston in my earlier post

He was amazing in National Theatre's Coriolanus.

And, of course, Loki.....

[blueamy66]

55. How can you forget those blue eyes??

[Coventina]

57. They are gorgeous! But I don't have as many opportunities to admire them as the others. Tom needs

more TV work!



But, oh man, would I ever love to have him yell "KNEEL!" at me!!

I'm a bad, bad, girl......

[blueamy66]

58. Yes, you are a bad, bad girl...but I must be too!

I have "liked" a page about him on FB, so I get to see him at least once a day.

I watch his dancing video, from the Korean talk show, as much as humanly possible.

His suits kill me!

[Coventina]

59. What? Video you say? Would it be on YouTube?

I'll be back, uh, later......

[blueamy66]

60. Yes, just Google Tom Hiddleston dancing....

You will be mesmerized for quite a while....watch it over and over and over and over.....

[Coventina]

61. Man, I need a cigarette.....and I don't even smoke!!!

Thanks! This will totally ruin my day, if not my week.

[blueamy66]

62. I met a guy in a sportsbar that looks just like him, without the blue eyes....

I told him he needed to buy a nicely fitted suit and grow just a bit of facial hair and, well, I can't go any further....

[Coventina]

63. LOL!

As long as you didn't mention "rocking a horny helmet" you're probably OK.

[Demoiselle]

45. Matthew Rhys. (The Americans.)

And if I can't have him, I'll settle for Benedict Cumberbatch.

[RebelOne]

50. Since I first saw him in "Pitch Black", I have loved Vin Diesel. n/t

[JohnRogan]

69. Pitch Black was a great sifi, those night flyers, something else.

[Vashta Nerada]

52. Khaleesi

Emma Watson:


Jenna Coleman:

[Tribalceltic]

56. influenced by my wife of 33 years

Cher, Angie Harmon, Blythe Danner

Back in the 70's there was only Linda Carter and Susan Dey

[steve2470]

64. Morgan Fairchild

[JohnRogan]

67. Ginger Zee EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WOW!

va va va voom!

[benld74]

68. Jessica Alba - Hasnt changed in years,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[NewJeffCT]

72. I've liked her for years, too

since she was on Dark Angel many years ago.

[Xipe Totec]

73. What's her name with the pouty lips and the killer eyes. nt

[fizzgig]

74. i'm married to this guy

he just doesn't know it
