so what unconventional celebrity do you have a crush on?

[AnnieW625]

Mine is Seth Rogan:bag.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/SethRogen_7_2007.JPG/220px-SethRogen_7_2007.JPG
He was on the radio this morning promoting The Green Hornet and I realized oh my I really like him and if he asked single me out IRL I would definitely go out with him at least once.

He's not as nerdy looking as Seth, but I guess you could consider John Krasinksi this too because he isn't really mainstream either (I mean he isn't like Ryan Reynolds who is on E News Live a lot, kwim?).

I also have this really odd fascination with Jeremy Clarkson from BBC's Top Gear (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Jeremy_Clarkson.jpg/200px-), and now Tanner Foust from History Channel's Top Gear (http://tannerfoust.com/main.jpg) (he's also well known in the drifting, and stunt car driving scene).

[turtledove]

Not me, but a guy I knew in college had a huge crush on Beverly D'Angelo (the mom in the Vacation movies).

[MelissaTC]

Not sure if he falls into this category, but I have such a crush on Jimmy Fallon. I swear I feel 12 years old all over again when I watch him.

[jenfromnj]

Not sure if he falls into this category, but I have such a crush on Jimmy Fallon. I swear I feel 12 years old all over again when I watch him.

In the same vein, I LOVE Conan O'Brien! My roommates and I would always request/wait in line for tickets to his show back in college, and one day we got to meet him and I was was freaking out--I didn't hear the end of that one for a long time, LOL.

[pinkmomagain]

I like Seth too! Others are: Alec Baldwin, John Malkovich, and Kevin Spacey!

[lhafer]

Yeah, Seth Rogan is so stinkin' cute!!! ITA with you on this one!! :love-retry:

[lhafer]

I think mine has to be Edward Norton. :love-retry::love-retry::love-retry:

Love him. Love his acting. Love him. Love that I don't hear about him in the tabloids ever. Ahhhh. Let the day dreaming commence...

One that I don't have a crush on (well, because he's just too young!) but I think he's so cute and adorable to watch is Michael Cera

[Penny's Pappa]

He was on the radio this morning promoting The Green Lantern

Wanted to correct you here. Seth Rogen is in The Green Hornet - a kung-fu/action flick. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

The Green Lantern is a DC superhero movie coming out soon starring Ryan Reynolds. It looks like it's going to be a pile of donkey doo.

[amldaley]

We did one of these a while ago, but it is too much fun to pass up !!! http://www.windsorpeak.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=373835


Conan O'Brien. I have had a crush on him since his very first show. And it is reflected in my choice of husband.

Steve Zahn

[TwoBees]

Tina Fey. So quirky and fun.

[DebbieJ]

Matthew Gray Gubler--Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds, especially with this new haircut in Season 6. I know he was a CK model and all, but there is something about his geeky quirkiness on the show that just tickles me.

I would not consider Edward Norton unconventional. I think he is typically considered pretty good looking. Don't get me wrong, he warrants the crush. ITA. I. TOTALLY. AGREE. (ahhemmm...need to take a breath now....) But I would disagree that he is "unconventional".

[purpleeyes]

Does Eminem count as unconventional? Cause I find him to be H.O.T.

Perhaps just unconventional for me, the crazy feminist that I am! Love these kinds of threads...

[DietCokeLover]

Colin Firth. Not sure If he is considered unconventional, but he's not your typical hottie either.

[boolady]

I don't know if they're unconventional or not. John Slattery (Mad Men, SATC, Desperate Housewives and Tom Colicchio (Top Chef).

Thank you, yeah not really excited about the comic book movie coming out. D'oh! I knew the difference too just typed the wrong movie.

[boolady]

Colin Firth. Not sure If he is considered unconventional, but he's not your typical hottie either.

Love him. I think of him as too good looking to be unconventional, but maybe I'm wrong. I just know I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers, that's all. ;)

There's something fascinating about him, I agree.

[AnnieW625]

I don't know if they're unconventional or not. John Slattery

How did I forget about him :shake:?! I love him, and he is my main reason for watching the show, although John Hamm is a close second, but I have to be a little off kilter and not love the guy everybody else loves (just like the whole Ben Affleck vs. Matt Damon thing; I think I'd go with Ben if given the choice!)

[RunnerDuck]

Dan Akroyd... maybe not so much now but in the ghostbusters era... so cuddly looking.

[love_a_latte]

Oh, I love these threads, as it is a chance to show my love for the gorgeous Willem Dafoe.

http://livingincinema.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Antichrist-001.jpg

I have had such a crush on him ever since I saw Clear and Present Danger back in 1994. I did the math a while ago and relized that I've had a thing for him for over half my life! Love that man :heartbeat:

And (correct me if I'm wrong), I think that he is definitely counts as an unconventional crush.

Also love Neil Patrick Harris!! And how could I forget Hugh Laurie?!?! :loveeyes:

Now THAT's unconventional. A lot of these others...not so much. :)

Neil Patrick Harris is unconventional, unless you're a gay man.

Now that I'm done being a smarty pants, I will reveal my shameful unconventional crush. Please don't mock me.

Vladimir Putin. I mean I don't dream about him, but when I see him, I think he's kind of hot in that assassin spy sort of way. My husband is disturbed by this. I don't really blame him.

[cvanbrunt]

Vladimir Putin. I mean I don't dream about him, but when I see him, I think he's kind of hot in that assassin spy sort of way.

Okay, I think it is unfair of you to forbid mocking in this case :)

I have a thing for Elvis Costello. And Lyle Lovett. Commence mocking.

[vludmilla]

When I was a teenager I thought Don Henley was handsome...kinda weird for an 18 year old.

I used to love Aidan Quinn...mostly for his eyes.

Ewan McGregor

[AnnieW625]

I am tempted to go back and change the title of poll back to geeky, which is what I originally was going to title it!

There is no way that I would call Ewan Macgregor, Ed Norton, Neil Patrick Harris, or really even Ed Burns unconventional. Seth Rogan, yes because he's just a geek, and John Slattery yes because of the silver hair, and he is not in his mid 60s.

Twin Foxes, I do hear you on Vladimir Putin too, he reminds of Sark (David Anders) from the TV show Alias.

Omg...he's so funny! Love him.

haha, same here! i think he's adorable. i guess he reminds me of my DH (very sweet, funny, likes to eat, etc) which is probably why i like him so much. King of Queens was our favorite show for the longest time. reminds me of me & DH in our pre-kid days.

[boolady]

OMG!! I was jut coming to post this!!! I have had a crush on him ever since high school -- so dreamy! And I agree...that voice is to die for!!!

This is what makes Love Actually such a great movie, IMHO...Liam Neeson, Alan Rickman and Colin Firth, all in one place.

[Beckylove]

Some of these are hilarious. To each her own, but I am going OMG yuck! to some of these choices. Putin? Kevin Spacey? Ewwww... funny thread.

My unconventional crushes are:

Daniel Tosh (Tosh.0) he counts as unconventional because he doesn't seem to care much about ladies.

Adam Scott (Amy Poehlers new love interest on Parks & Rec.) he counts as unconventional because I don't think he is super well known and I have had a crush on him since he played Mr. Rooks, the creepy teacher on Veronica Mars.

Joe Biden

[shawnandangel]

Brendan Fraser because he looks like my hubby.

Ewan is a hottie, not an unconventional crush in my book!

YEah that. I love that he can act, sing, and dance. I heard he's quite charming IRL.

John Krasinksi was sooo funny in "It's Complicated". He's such a good comic actor and very adorable. I want to see the movie with him and the SNL actress (forgot her name) where the visit friends/relatives to get a glimpse at parenting (they're preggo). I can't remember the name of the moview now...

Ooh, I'd reverse those.

That said, mine is Ryan Reynolds, wouldn't ya know. He's not unconventional. But I've got a mad crush.

ETA --> Gotta add Mike Rowe, not that someone's mentioned him. Definitely.

[bubbaray]

Ooooh, adding Harry Shum Jr (Mike Chang, Glee). His abs. OMG.

For realz?! :47:

[TwinFoxes]

Now wait a minute! These people aren't unconventional! I reveal my long hidden Putin crush, and people are saying Mike Rowe??? And Ryan Reynolds?? He is the Sexiest Man Alive for Pete's sake. What exactly makes him unconventional?? :irked:

So I don't look like a complete oddball, my real crush is Daniel Craig. And LL Cool J. And Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, but only when he's JB).

But if I had to come up with an UNCONVENTIONAL crush, it's Putin.

Ok, you are totally right. You followed the directions, and you came up with an unconventional crush. Mea Cuplpa! :bowdown:

Here's an unconventional one for you. Ellen. She's a woman, and she's gay, and i"m not. Therefore, I'm crushing very unconventionally. I love her face. And her metre in how she speaks.

Another. Steven Tyler. I love him. I mean I looooooove him. He is so ugly beautiful with the ugly beautifulest mouth. I love watching his skinny weird body move. I can't wait for Idol so I can just look at him all night. When he heard he was the new simon, DH is like, oh here we go.

[TwinFoxes]

You redeemed yourself with Steve Tyler, Fairy. ;)

And in case my tone didn't come through, I was kidding with the irked face. :)

[dogmom]

Hmmmm, Gary Oldman unconventional?

Being a Rock Star cancels out whatever ugliness gene you have-> see Mick Jagger.

If someone can honestly tell me the name of Ryan Reynolds since his first TV show in the US (without looking it up on the internet), then yes he can be unconventional, but if you didn't know who he was until he married Scarlett Johansen then no it doesn't count. I have known who Ryan Reynolds was since then and yes he was most definitely unconventionally good looking compared to his competition on the show Nathan Fillion.

Just saying.:rotflmao:

[AnnieW625]

I don't know I actually have a soft spot for Mick Jagger. Now I really need a LARGE :bag . There is just something about his voice singing Satisfaction, and Start Me Up! that I just really like.

[Nicsmom]

How's Bill Maher for unconventional? I find him very sexy.

I used to love Gerard Depardieu when I was younger (and so was he). And my first crush was Dustin Hoffman.

That would really surprise me, but you just never know I guess.

That's how I felt about too, and I did think Ryan Reynolds was hot even then. Nathan Fillion wasn't the roommate he was the boyfriend of Sharon, who Berg secretly had a thing for but never really admitted it IIRC.

[codex57]

I'll list a few cuz I'm not sure if any are defined as unconventional. I think they're all quite attractive which is why I'm not sure they count, but they're generally not thought of as sex symbols.

Tina Fey
Sarah Silverman
Chelsea Handler (pre-plastic surgery)
Ellen Page


and most embarrassing of all: Kristin Stewart. Think she's annoying as hell but just find her so pretty. For the others, I like the whole package.

I'm glad Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion are getting some love. I never understood why RR was never a big star and sex symbol. NF is just a freaking awesome actor and seems like he could be a sex symbol from a guy's point of view (I don't fully understand Johnny Depp or Joaquin Phoenix being so drooled over).

[fivi2]

Nathan Fillion wasn't the roommate he was the boyfriend of Sharon, who Berg secretly had a thing for but never really admitted it IIRC.

I am glad you cleared that up, because I was starting to get very confused!

[melonpan]

maybe but here is another gary oldman fan!

[fivi2]

Now I have read the whole thread, I have to say that I don't think very many of these are unconventional!

I think I put Spike Spiegel on the older thread (and fictional anime characters count as unconventional in my book - especially from someone who doesn't watch much anime!)

Also Tim Roth. I think he counts as unconventional...

I will think of more!

[TwinFoxes]

I had to go with Joe Biden. When I see him, I think this:



:bag I had a total mind fart, and for some reason I read your OP as Joe Lieberman. I'd like to say, I totally know the difference, and have met Lieberman...Biden is so much more understandable!

I think I should get points for honesty!


I don't fully understand Johnny Depp or Joaquin Phoenix being so drooled over.

Two words: dark and brooding.

[codex57]

Two words: dark and brooding.

oooohhhh, so like sexy and mysterious? Bad boyish? If true, that makes a lotta sense.

[mezzona]

Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. That is not something I would not just tell anyone out loud so I think it's unconventional.

[smilequeen]

Hugh Grant, despite his past behavior.

Gabriel Byrne, especially in The Usual Suspects.

[TwinFoxes]

oooohhhh, so like sexy and mysterious? Bad boyish? If true, that makes a lotta sense.

Exactly. Especially re: Johnny Depp.

Colin Firth. Not sure If he is considered unconventional, but he's not your typical hottie either.

Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. That is not something I would not just tell anyone out loud so I think it's unconventional.

I loved that show, but do you remember him before that? He was in some show, it made me think of the orginal Degrassi (all Canadian). And then he was in the original Melissa Joan Hart Sabrina movie. He was the jerk she wanted to date.

Steve Martin

I have had a crush on him since I was a little kid and saw "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" in the movie theater. I grew up in Terre Haute and we disliked living there and my family thought it was brilliant that he blew TH up. I have likely seen LA Story 100 times or more. That man's comedic timing is brilliant and I love that he is so deep and intectual IRL. My very first BF ever actual looked (and still does) like Steve Martin.

Of course, the upside is that if we ever met, I'd apparently have a decent shot with him. ;)

Here are a few more:
-I've always been a big fan of Hugh Laurie, but I was never attracted to him until House.
-Zachary Quinto as Spock. Hot Spock, who knew? Little does DH know why I could watch that movie over and over again.
-Also, I'll second or third whoever said Matthew Gray Gubler in Criminal Minds. Between hot geek and just plain hot Shemar Moore I hardly know where to look :)

[kali]

Jon Stewart. I would take a super-smart funny mensch over Brad Pitt any day.

[cindys]

Sam Elliott = YUM

I loved him in Mask...That voice and that face are dreamy....:loveeyes:

Cindy
Mama to 3 boys...19, 4 & 2 :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:

[lalasmama]

Eddie Kaye Thomas... That would be Paul Fitch from the American Pie movies.

[bubbaray]

Of course, the upside is that if we ever met, I'd apparently have a decent shot with him. ;)


:hysterical:

[JMS]

James (Jimmy) Rubin. He was the spokesman for the Dept of State under Albright, under Clinton. And I'm a republican!! :wavey:

[supercalifragilous]

I totally second Sam Elliott - that voice, too!!

Oh man, I @heart@ the quantum leap guy! I day dreamed about marrying him when I grew up! Lol!

[Fairy]

Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. That is not something I would not just tell anyone out loud so I think it's unconventional.

I like you.

[Fairy]

You redeemed yourself with Steve Tyler, Fairy. ;)

And in case my tone didn't come through, I was kidding with the irked face. :)

Oh gosh, I know :-)

[JoyNChrist]

Oh Christopher Meloni for sure! That's actually how DH talked me into DS2's name (Elliott).

[himom]

I didn't read the whole thread, so I may be alone here....but ever since Three Musketeers I've been crushing on Oliver Platt. "Come, D'Artagnan! We are going to save the King!" He was just such a cutie.

I also really love Neil Patrick Harris, mostly due to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.

So there are my geek credentials!

[Fairy]

I used to love Gerard Depardieu

Ok, that's a goodie for unconventional!

[citymama]

Jon Stewart
Sasha Baron Cohen
That skinny tall guy from Who's Line is it Anyway?
When he was way younger, in the MASH days, Alan Alda.

Are you detecting a theme here? ;)

Alan Alda was on my orginal list from the previous thread. It was M*A*S*H* AND it was "Same Time Next Year" and it was the "Free to Be You and Me" record and book that really did it for me.

[amldaley]

I am watching Conan right now (interviewing Denis Leary) and I am falling in love all over again. Can't stop smiling.:D

Totally forgot about him! I crushed on him for AGES. Why, I have no idea. But he's a cutie! (And seriously humorous, since, IRL, I like solid men somewhere around 5'10" or so!)

[citymama]

Now wait a minute! These people aren't unconventional! I reveal my long hidden Putin crush, and people are saying Mike Rowe??? And Ryan Reynolds?? He is the Sexiest Man Alive for Pete's sake. What exactly makes him unconventional?? :irked:

So I don't look like a complete oddball, my real crush is Daniel Craig. And LL Cool J. And Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, but only when he's JB).

But if I had to come up with an UNCONVENTIONAL crush, it's Putin.

I think you win with Putin in terms of unconventional. Or maybe veronica does with Joe Biden. ;)

I second LL Cool J and MD/JB for conventional. :heartbeat:

And no, Colin Firth, Johnny Depp, Heath Ledger, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Ewan MacGregor and this Ryan Reynolds dude do not count as unconventional! Try again!

[love_a_latte]

Another. Steven Tyler. I love him. I mean I looooooove him. He is so ugly beautiful with the ugly beautifulest mouth. I love watching his skinny weird body move. I can't wait for Idol so I can just look at him all night. When he heard he was the new simon, DH is like, oh here we go.

Yes yes yes!
He is almost enough to make me check out American Idol, which I have never once watched. He's another one that I have had the hots for forever.

[catpagmo]

Christopher Meloni:

OMG...I :heartbeat: Christopher Meloni! I was just coming to add him. IMO, he's super sexy!

[AnnieW625]

:bag Tiger Woods

That smile just kills me.

Of course, the upside is that if we ever met, I'd apparently have a decent shot with him. ;)

Yeah. I hear you on that one. When I found out a few years ago that he learned to play golf at the golf course 3/4 of a mile from my house, and that he went to high school in a neighboring city to where I live now I was cursing my parents for not moving to So Cal when I was growing up. Despite his infedilities I still kind of like him because he is from my current hometown area.


I totally second Sam Elliott - that voice, too!!

I was just watching Remember the Titans the other night and I had forgotten how cute he was.

I agree with the poster who said Patrick Stewart and I was honestly surprised that he hadn't been mentioned earlier.

[MolieMuts]

Christopher Meloni:

That is not unconventional...that is hot!

How about Gary Sinise or William Hurt...

[amldaley]

How about Gary Sinise

Yeah, he is a little unconventional and TOTALLY crush worthy!!!!

[writermama]

Michael Kitchen from Foyle's War (British Mystery Series, shows on PBS). Though it's not so much a crush on the actor, as the character ... specifically his voice.

I'd like him to be the voice of my GPS. "Turn left. Proceed 20 metres. You have arrived at your destination. And now, I will reveal the identity of the murderer."

[MelissaTC]

Just thought of someone else...

Rich Eisen, formerly of ESPN now on the NFL network. I don't know why but I think he is cute. I am going to hide now...

Please don't go and hide fellow sports fan:). I have always found Peyton Manning oddly attractive (although Tom Brady even with the long hair is way better looking) I am oddly attracted to the afternoon sports radio team of Mason & Ireland on 710 ESPN in Los Angeles. I listen to them daily. (I almost posted them in my original post, but thought, no one would get that!)

[DebbieJ]

Okay, I had to revive this thread because I realized another crush today.

Mike Holmes of Holmes on Homes.

Yes to Jeff Goldblum. Also thought of another one: Jeremy Piven.

Steve Martin

I agree. He's funny, smart, and is a mighty fine picker.

[ilfaith]

Dan Akroyd... maybe not so much now but in the ghostbusters era... so cuddly looking.

You'd love my DH...he's often told he looks like Dan Aykroyd (back in the Ghostbuster Days).

I'm with those of you who crush on Anderson Cooper, Christopher Meloni, and Hugh Laurie...and I've had a crush on John Slattery since he was on Homefront in the early 90s.

And for the Alan Alda fans, my M*A*S*H crush wasn't him, but Wayne Rogers.

I also like Jeremy Piven...and DH has a friend who looks (and, being from Chicago, sounds) exactly like him.

[viba424]

David Gilmour!
