Time to go ultra-nerdy on this one! Have you ever had a crush on a celebrity who is completely NOT your typical Hollywood stud-muffin? The ones who you would never or rarely see on the covers of GQ Magazine or Esquire? Am I the only one here who's had a bizarre crush on a celebrity that when I mustered enough courage to finally be honest about it, my friends would look at me like I was an alien from another planet? Okay, let me give you an example of my weird celebrity crushes:
Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones
I actually remember Peter way back from this indie film he starred in called
The Station Agent. I was not only amazed by his stunning performance, but I was also strangely attracted to him. I mean this guy has some major swagger and his height restriction is completely undercut by his good looks and his confidence. He's more confident than a man twice his size and half his age. Who knows, maybe that's why he's so hot to me? I usually don't even date shorter guys---but he would definitely be the exception!
Michael Jackson (RIP)
I'm not talking about little Michael from The Jackson 5 or even
not-yet-surgically-enhanced Michael from Off The Wall. I developed the biggest crush on MJ when the "Remember The Time" video was first released. OMG...he was soooo sexxy to me! Yes, I know that he totally looked like a female in that video, but I just loved his charismatic smile, sexy swagger (yes there's that word again), and his pelvic rhythms. Miss you Michael!
Willem Dafoe
Remember the movie he did with Madonna called
Body of Evidence? Well I crushed on him hard after seeing that movie. I'm not sure if it was the masochistic candle wick burning scene that did me in or his jawline that attracts me. But he's hot. It's weird I know, but whenever I see he's booked on a late night TV show or is appearing on some sort of news program, I have to tune in!
Seal
I know most of you probably think I'm just going out on a limb with this one. My attraction for Seal is deeper than his physical presence. It's his music. One of the most played CDs that I own (aside from Jon B.) is Seal's 1994 self-titled album. "Don't Cry" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Not to mention his accent is uber-sexy. And let's be honest, no one can debate with me on that.
Steve Buscemi
My favorite film of all time is Reservoir Dogs. I could easily include Quentin Tarantino on this list because I like him too...but I think I just really like him because he's my favorite director. For us its just business. As for Steve, I have had a crush on him for years. It seems like he gets hotter and hotter with age! On his new show
Boardwalk Empire, he's the hottest guy on the show! Many would debate with me and say Michael Pitt is---but his character is dead now. That only leaves Steve..heh heh.
Hollywood hunks? No. Unusually sexy?
Ab-suh-freakin-loutely!
You might not believe me... but, I understand your crush on Peter Dinklage and Michael Jackson - the MJ of that video specifically. xD
ReplyDeleteTasty, tasty Adrien Brody...

ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm totally feeling you with your non-traditional crushes. Add me to the Peter Dinklage and Steve Buscemi crush list. Pretty faces are fine, but I love actors that have looks that have "character"
Oh, I'll add to that list, Paul Giamatti and Lance Henriksen, whom I've had a crush on for about twenty years. Dude is like 70 and I still dig him.
Michael Jackson can be awkward because of the art in terms of aesthetics, but a number
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Mark Harmon (aka Gibbs) from NCIS!
ReplyDeleteMost of my celebrity crushes are not typical. I just don't care about the overhyped/overpaid, and limited talent of most Hollywood "so call talent".
ReplyDeleteI've had moments crushes on Peter Dinklage ,and on MJ in the Thriller years.
My other unusual crushes: Alan Rickman, Joffrey Rush, Danny Glover (I know weird), Rockmond Dunbar (Kenny on Soul Food), Savion Glover (Tap Dance Kid), Colin Firth, Jeremy Iron, Ralph Fiennes, and Joseph Mawles (Benjen Stark on GOT)
Hey, I got plenty of weird crushes, which I prefer---most of whom are not considered the traditional Hollywood crushes,or even celebrities, for that matter--Brit actors Idris Elba and Chiwetel Ejiofor (the man is a straight-up genuine movie star,Hollywood's just not pushing him like that, though,'cause he's a brother) comic/dramatic actor John Leguizamo (yeah, he's crazy, and he's getting up there, but he's still as hot as the first time I saw him on House of Buggin years ago) Jeremy Sisto (the main character's dad on the show SUBURGATORY---love that deep,dark voice/hair and the full beard--definitely a a straight-up turn-on ) the actor who plays the dad of the kids on MODERN FAMILY (don't know his name, and he has creepy eyes, but I like his atypical looks) Micheal Emerson (plays the creepy-looking intrieging-as-hell, enigmatic crime-fighting computer scientist on PERSON OF INTEREST---I find incredibly smart & weird guys equally hot) Judge Greg Mathis (he's funny as heck on his show, and he's from my hometown, and looks good for his age) and Jensen Ackles (he plays the hotter, older tough streetwise half of the two demon-fighting brothers in the show SUPERNATURAL--he's all that and then some) That's all I could think of right now---hee hee hee. Oh, I have another one--a really good Indian actor/major star in India named Nasruddin Shah, who's pushing 60, but whom I've liked in everything I've seen,and found hot in a different way--he looks nothing like a typical Hollywood (or Bollywood star) for that matter, but I've always found him attractive--go figure. Also Rahul Bose, a handsome Indian actor/writer/director who's not only hot like fire, but can act his behind off in everything I've seen him in. Check all their work out when you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteLoL at Jeremy Sisto....he's a hottie. I can't help but think of the scene in Clueless when he serenades Cher by singing...."Turn away...turn awaaaay....turn away"
ReplyDeletei was just thinking about the MJ sexy yesterday when Remember the Time started playing on my iPod. YES!! I'm not alone on that, so glad!!! And i have also loved Dinklage since The Station Agent
