Heartthrobs

I'm not sure I've spelt that correctly (it doesn't look right anyway) but it gives the gist: who were your heartthrobs and has it changed over the years?

Mine were:

Clint Eastwood (in his Rawhide and spaghetti western days)
Steve McQueen

and, oddly enough

David Bowie

Now I have developed a soft spot for David Dimbleby!

This is my new heartthrob - Jim Caviezel out of Person of Interest:

I've got overexcited now, need to go off and fan myself!

You certainly did Bubbly - how many times did you hit 'send' on that message, you must have been in a right swoon grin

I've just looked up on Google who Richard Armitage is and I can see why he is so alluring to some of you. He definitely has a bit of Elvis in his sultry looks. grin

Lona Tue 17-Jun-14 22:12:24

Welcome bubbly you sure are bubbly! grin

bubbly1960 Tue 17-Jun-14 22:07:29

I've loved my first Gransnet experience, now off to lie down in a dark room and try not to imagine Richard Armitage being scrubbed down....... Sweet dreams all.

Hollydaze, It's me!!!! I've said that to my sons friends, oh I'm so found out!!!! I could live to 100 and still appreciate lovely men, charming men. Before you get the impression I'm rampant, I promise you I'm not. Having a hearthrob just makes makes the world go round that bit more pleasant. Us young ladies deserve " a good daily drool"!!!!

That's ok, Hollydaze is busy scrubbing him for me right now!

Is that what I was supposed to be doing with him - soz blush

janerowena Tue 17-Jun-14 21:27:16

I rather liked him in Spooks, too. I shall just gloss over him being a teeny bit of a spy.

janerowena Tue 17-Jun-14 21:26:43

Squeaky leather... hmmm... That's ok, Hollydaze is busy scrubbing him for me right now!

bubbly1960 Tue 17-Jun-14 21:23:17

Dear Tegan, I've just laughed so much, But If my pipes were checked I'm sure something would drop off!!! Well janerowena, could we share? Leathers a bit squeaky and I'd spoil the moment laughing, so on the days he's in leather he's yours. He looks lovely in a cravat,
I forgot lovely Gerry Sunquist, but was shocked at what became of him. Our hearthrobs are just normal people really.

janerowena Tue 17-Jun-14 21:21:27

grin I'm not sure she will, now!

HollyDaze Tue 17-Jun-14 21:16:39

Oops, forgot to say: welcome to Gransnet Bubbly, hope you enjoy the site smile

HollyDaze Tue 17-Jun-14 21:15:58

Hands off Richard Armitage, he's all mine! I prefer him in leather though...

..are you the one on the left smile?

bubbly1960 Tue 17-Jun-14 20:44:54

Hello, first post on gransnet. This thread has caught my imagination!! MY first crush, Gary Warren, Fron the Railway Children. Then I loved Donny Osmond, Then Rob Davies of Mud,the effeminate one! Then Barry Manilow, and whilst I was having babies in the eighties, I fancied Morton Harkett. In the noughties I've liked Chris Beardshaw, but since I saw Richard Armitage in North and South theres been no other to catch my eye. I'm sure I'm turning into the sort of older lady that says "ooooo young man" Wonder if thats the cause of my high blood pressure!

Sir David Attenborough and it still is.
John Lennon
Denny Laine (Moody Blues)
When I was about 14 I had a crush on a teenage Dennis Waterman, wrote to him but he never wrote back. (he was in a series called The Barnstormers)

Rupert Penrhys-Jones definitely

Benedict Cumberbatch (I am a bit of a Cumberbitch)

A particular American Ballroom dancer who has a lovely bum.

The lovely long haired Scottish presenter on Coast (can't remember name)

Dr McDreamy in Grays Anatomy

Holly it proves it wasn't just me that pain in the a* Jasper Carrott disliked.

Roses I must be a bit thick as I don't get the 'funky moped' joke explanation required please.

janerowena Mon 16-Jun-14 20:31:23

Rupert Penrhys-Jones is rather nice too.
