Just for fun, I’m curious: Who’s your celebrity crush? Mine has giant biceps and a secret handshake…
Mr. Stephen Curry of the Warriors! Ten-year-old Toby has gotten me into basketball, and I have heart eyes for Steph, arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history.
That smile!
He’s a great leader on his team and mentors the younger players. He’s also obsessed with his wife, which makes me love him even more.
He shimmies after nailing a great shot.
But what REALLY clinched it was this video of Steph singing Hamilton in the car with his daughters.
And here’s his secret family handshake. Watch that video and try not to swoon!
Who is your celebrity crush these days? My sister makes fun of me for asking this question annually, but I always love hearing your answers.
P.S. How to keep the sparks flying, and what was your first kiss like?

James Acaster! His stand up is so so good
Still Robert Pattinson. I may not understand all of Tenet but I will watch it over and over again just to crush on Robert Pattinson. A beautiful man.
After seeing Bruno Mars in concert, it was over. I saw him 3 more times after that. And I was pregnant by the third song every time. His voice and his moves. There is something about a man who can lead a band like he does. Sexy.
Charlie Hunnam 1st love always
Cillian Murphy
Marc Ruchmann, in a great new french show (The Hookup Plan/Plan Coeur) I just started watching!
Sebastian Stan – he plays James “Bucky” Barnes in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I can’t get enough of his smile, big lips and crinkly eyes!!!
Daveed Diggs. I’m never going to get over him in Hamilton
Trevor Noah.
Harry Styles. Long hair, short hair, always. Love him, both looks and personality.
Same girl, same. That Grammy performance was……..OUF!
Daveed Diggs! And Will from The Repair Shop.
Haven’t seen him mentioned yet – Simu Liu from Kim’s Convenience
Canadian here! Torontonian, in fact. Our entire country has a mad crush on Simu Liu and adores Kim’s Convenience. I lived in the neighbourhood where it’s filmed and walked by the real Kim’s every day, twice a day. I just moved out a few months ago. I saw Simu around TO and yes – just as crushworthy in person.
Oooh, this is one of mine too! That smile and the muscles! Can’t wait to see him as a superhero in Shang-Chi.
Yaaaasss. A total cutie!
Philadelphian here and JT Realmuto. Damn.
I saw this and immediately thought: Daniel Ricciardo!
He’s a Formula 1 driver and the heart and soul of the Netflix docuseries about F1, called Drive to Survive. Many of the drivers are VERY nice looking men, but to boot he is Australian, tan, charming, funny, has an adorable smile, and seems very genuine and normal despite the insane money, fame, and prestige involved in the sport. I should say that I’m also influenced by my recurring dreams where he whisks me away on a yacht, but I don’t think that harms anyone.
absolutely love this Jenn. I have grown to love him more this series, F1 needs his down-to-earth-ness!
My 7 yo son found a gift under the Christmas tree this year addressed: “To: Alison; From: Your secret admirer,” and was like “Uh, mom, what’s this?”
It was a Daniel Ricciardo F1 shirt that my adorable husband purchased for me, and just the notion that Danny (as I like to call him) could ever be my “secret admirer” had me giggling and blushing so hard!
Now I get to wear the shirt every race weekend and it simultaneously makes me crush on DR and love my husband all the more for accepting that crush :)
Bang Chan from Stray Kids. I’m 51. Goodnight.
That made me laugh OUT LOUD!!
Love it.
Definitely Dr. Fauci.
Please interview Ayesha Curry! Love her Sweet July brand, her style, recipes, and she and Steph have the cutest kids.
Gavin Leatherwood! I can’t!
Sorry Jo, Steph is MY boyfriend!! Hahaha!!
Late to the party, but watched “Crash Landing on You” on Netflix and would definitely rank Ri Jeong Hyeok (character) aka Hyun Bin (actor’s name) as my top celebrity crush right now.
When I told my aunt this, her reply was, “oh yes, woodblock on the outside, noble on the inside ” which is the perfect way to describe the character’s nuanced facial expressions and stoic-pianist-soldier vibe. ?
Omg, yes to Hyun Bin! And so many swoon worthy K-drama stars…
Lol @ your crush is Curry!
Warriors fan here and here are my tops, some no longer on the team:
1. Andre Iguodala
2. Klay Thompason
3. Shaun Livingston
Other major hots:
1. Adam Driver like apparently everyone else?
2. Anthony Bourdain
Klay Thompson… swoon! I’m with you.
My number one in terms of how many years this crush has carried on is Ethan Hawke, my Renaissance Man. ? And newer on the scene, but still a raging crush for the ages – John Reynolds. Oh, and verrry into Roberta Colindrez when the hair is short in I Love Dick… my gawd! ?
Joe Manganiello! Apparently he is a nice person, is in to D&D, is married to Sofia Vergara (that I like too) and is getting better as he ages…
My husband and I just watched Ted Lasso, so…. Jason Sudeikis. :-)
But being from the bay area, yes, to Steph (though Andre Igoudala is my guy). And always, Daveed Diggs.
I was in the car with my youngest and a Post Malone song came on and I said my hairdresser really likes him. Silence. Then, “Does she like him like you like Barack Obama?”. I forgot that once my oldest asked me who was on “my list”- here it is in no particular order…
Barack Obama- smart, kind and loves his wife and family
Jason Mamoa- loves his wife and family and moves with such grace
Liam Nesson
Henrik Lundquist- hockey player
Kyle Chandler and Taylor Kitsch- Friday Night Lights, the dream team
Ali Mahershala- such a great smile
Always fun
Ah yes, Barack Obama! I’ve had a solid thing for him since he first took office. And I read his book at the start of this year, and loved him even more!
Smart, handsome, loves his family, kind, earned respect through pure merit. All round solid guy.
Ben McKenzie circa the early 2000s. Rewatching The OC left me with a schoolgirl crush on Ryan Atwood.
Steven Yeun ?
Milo Ventimiglia all day, every day, and forever.
While on fertility drugs, I had some seriously sexy dreams about Daveed Diggs, so him. Trevor Noah. I once saw a hummus salesman in Cape Town who looked a lot like him and I got all flustered and gooey being in the proximity of someone vaguely resembling him who gives me free hummus, so if I met him for real I don’t know what would happen. Andy Samberg.
Sam Heugman in Outlander
Paul Rudd for when I want to feel young. Lakeith Stanfield for when I want to feel sultry. Timothee Chalamet for when I want to feel frivolous and french. Trevor Noah for when I want to feel clever and comfortable. Jared Leto for when I want to feel absurd and complicated. Sam Heughan for when I want to feel everything.
This is…serious.
Sam Heughan for everything haha
Sam Heughan makes me purr and I don’t even date them.
Sam Heughan makes me purr and I don’t even date men.
Anyone else just recently watched ‘Anne with an E’ and can’t get over Gilbert Blythe/ Lucas Jade Zumann? Serious heart eyes :-)
Rufus Sewell or Jude Law.
Andre Holland!
Hozier. Regularly reads poetry on his IG. Also, his lyrics, his green eyes, and his band being 50/50 men to women. Just sayin.
Yes….so dreamy! ?
Jen Psaki!
America Ferrara
Tom Hardy
Rachel Cargle
Josh O’Connor
Aaron Rodgers. He’s hosting Jeopardy this week. Swoon.
Daniel Kaluuya especially after seeing Judas and the Black Messiah. He’s so fine.
Manny Montana
Jason Momoa
Adam Driver
Tom Hiddleston
Tom colicchio
Kim Namjoon from BTS – the smarts, the talent, the dimples! And Michaela Coel – when I was watching I May Destroy You, I could not get enough of interviews and articles on her. So talented, so beautiful, so inspiring.
Yes!! Namjoon and Jin of BTS ❤️ Smart, kind and “worldwide handsome” as Jin would say, haha. On a more serious note, I’m so happy the definition of beauty is becoming more diverse. Growing up I’d never have imagined the rest of the world outside Asia appreciating Korean men!
A big yes to Kim Namjoon – sweet, smart… the dimples.
A couple years back during the playoffs we realized golden state was going to be playing Portland and Portland is the only nba venue within driving distance of Vancouver island where we live. We spent WAY too much money and bought tickets on a whim. There were no accommodations left so we ended up in an air bnb camper in someone’s backyard and drove 10 hours to Portland to stay one night to see the game and it was hands down one of my top five moments of joy in my life. Worth every minute in the car and every penny. Basketball brings great joy! I hope you get to see steph live someday ❤️
I’ve been obsessed with Hamilton on Disney+ and find the King George scenes hilariously funny. Jonathan Groff is amazingly talented!
Adam Driver. Once he gets under your skin, there’s no going back!
yes
Omg yes
Yep! ?
Skylar Astin, he is so good in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
Brad Pitt. Always.
I think my me, my husband, my mom, and my 19 year old are all crushing big time on Stanley Tucci….. like so many are right now. He just seems so fun and nice and he dresses so well while eating his way around Italy.
Yes!!
I read this article about “The Tooch” all the time. Love him.
https://the-toast.net/2015/02/09/stanley-tucci-boyfriend/
PAUL RUDD always and forever ❤️❤️❤️
I’m posthumously falling in love with Chadwick Boseman and it makes me so sad that I wasn’t more aware of him more while he was with us <3. What a wonderful and talented person.
Is it wrong that my crush is a colleague? For years and years. Though I am happily married, my crush will forever feature in my fantasies and I will forever swoon at the sight of him. I can’t help it. I don’t have eyes for any celebrity as all my surplus love is spent on this sweet sexy man. No, really… I am asking… Is this wrong??
It is not wrong. You are human!
Chris Evans. Fundamentally decent Boston boy, amazing biceps. Let’s just say I love the Marvel movies…
Steven Yeun
Adam Brody
Dan Levy. No more words needed.
Me too!
Lenny Kravitz has always been a crush of mine…but after watching Call My Agent I found myself thinking about Assaad Boubab – I must say it disturbed me a little bc his character initially was arrogant and a bit controlling (not my cup of tea let’s just say)….luckily his character softened up more as the seasons when on so that solidified it for me. Of course I love Gregory Montel too from the show – but Assaad – my goodness he is sexy…
Ahhhh…Call My Agent! Since watching, my Google history is pretty much just Andrea Martel hair, Andrea Martel style, Andrea Martel green jacket, and on and on.
As far as French celebrity crushes go though, Omar Sy from Lupin…so charismatic.
yes yes yes Assaad Boubab and Omar Sy! Gimme all les hommes français
Cillian Murphy (forever)
Idris Elba
Edward Norton
Cillian forever.
To this day, the most embarrassing moment of my life was when I (a young, pubescent 13 year old) walked in on Steph in his boxers while I was petsitting his family’s dogs. I thought his family was gone and didn’t know he had flown in the night before, so not only was I shocked to see ANYONE in the house, I was mortified to note that it was Stephen in a state of undress. Completely tongue tied, I just backed away slowly and ran outside. One hell of a sexual awakening.
OMG haha this is the best anecdote for this post!
Boris Kodjoe !! Good grief he’s fine!
Steven Yeun
Henry Golding
Paul Rudd 4ever
Duke of Hastings of course
And also Jesse Williams – the main reason I still watch Grey’s Anatomy
Jon Ecker
Pedro Pascal – there is just something about those Spanish speaking men… damn sexy.
Pedro Pascal for me, too. And Oscar Isaac. *swoon*
Riz Ahmed!! So talented, so smart, so handsome. I swoon.
Same!
Tucci!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jensen Ackles…. the grin, the crinkles around the eyes, the deep voice. What’s not to love!
My husband went to undergrad with Steph. He is a really nice guy!
Johhny Flynn and Seth Rogan!!
Trevor Noah
The Duke of Hastings (I know..but you can’t deny it)
Mark Ruffalo (forever)
Sterling K Brown
Jay Ellis (but specifically his character Lawrence from Insecure)
Rami Malek (forever #2 after Ruffalo)
YES! Jay Ellis is so dreamy.
Harry Styles! I call him my Fake Son instead of my Fake Boyfriend, because he’s so young. But I love his openness, his style, and his voice, and the fact that he is dating the brilliant Olivia Wilde. The Sleep Story he narrated on the Calm app is a work of genius. The covers he sings of other artists’ song are just amazing. He just seems up for anything.
Agreed!! And to any doubters that Grammy performance will surely change your mind! Pure ?!
I hope you’ve read The Idea of You if you have a Harry Styles crush!
Dave Grohl and Matthew McConaughey ???
And Adam Driver ?
Bill Pullman! Currently loving him in “The Sinner.”
Forever!
Richard Madden (Aka Prince Charming, Aka Robb Stark)
Sam Heughan (Aka Jamie Fraser)
Sebastian Stan (Aka Winter Solider/Bucky Barnes)
They all look alike lol I have a TYPE.
Brandi Carlile! She is so authentic- while she has an amazing voice and message she is so grounded and loves to talk about her wife and kids. Plus, her style is amazing.
Slightly embarrassing, but Jay Harrington in SWAT. The dang beard and grey hair gets me every time (when did I start liking grey hair on guys??)
No one else said Nick Jonas yet? He is so kind and earnest on The Voice! And he likes older women (lucky for me)! HA
I have a long time crush on Steph but right now…Stanley Tucci!
Paul Rudd ! He has gotten sexier and sexier over the years :)
I agree. His 80’s music video parodies ❤️
MEGAN THEE STALLION is without question number one.
Then in no particular order:
Adam Driver
LaKeith Stanfield
Shira Haas
Noah Centineo
Adrian Brody
Woody Harrelson ( I know, don’t ask)
My husband will not leave me alone about Adrian Brody. He’s like, “Adrian Brody????????? Whhhhhhhhyyyy????” There is something sexy about him that I can’t explain. Love to see you think so too.
I *casually* mentioned to a friend that I thought Adam Driver was cute, and the following Christmas she got me a coffee mug that had a collage on it—all of Adam Driver pictures. I was so embarrassed, but it’s now my favorite mug. Perhaps my tone wasn’t as casual as I thought! Ha!
I am IN LOVE with LaKeith Stanfield in Someone Great!
Mr. Curry is an excellent choice. It’s only recently occured to me that I’ve arrived at that age in which good dads are hot. ? I’m going to add Rebecca Hall to the list. She’s gorgeous, but it really is her understated confidence that gets me. And female directors, amIright? I’m excited to see Passing.
Oscar Isaac.
Jon Stewart.
Henry Cavill
Yes! He and Chris Evans, and Sebastian Stan. Swoon.
Did anyone else get a giant crush on Billie Eilish’s dad after seeing The World’s a Little Blurry?
Yes
Riz Ahmed. Those eyes —-
Taika Waititi, Jason Mantzoukas, Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh.
yes. yes. yes and yes.
I was always a fan of Silicon Valley but didn’t think very much about Kumail Nanjiani’s character until I saw The Big Sick. But he really started to intrigue me with the podcast he and his wife Emily made last year about staying in (and tips for staying sane during shelter in place). He’s super funny, articulate, thoughtful and quite sexy – especially when he was prepping for a Marvel film – the cover of Men’s Health…smoking hot!
coming back to add a few more : )
– I’ve always thought David Strathairn was handsome and he looks uber good in Billions!
– not usually my type but Justin Hartley from This is Us is mmm, mmm good
– anyone on the Paul Hollywood from GBB train? Those blue eyes!
– gone but not forgotten, Anthony Bourdain just dripped sex appeal (or SA as my teen self would say)
– Andy Gardia used to always make my crush lists but has fallen off. Funny to see him in the above clip. That movie was something else.
Paul Rudd always and forever!
oh geeze now you made me in love with stephen curry. i also love gael garcia bernal and ryan gosling. also nick miller from new girl, forever.
Gael Garcia Bernal in Mozart In the Jungle…swoon.
daniel kaluuya
I just saw him on SNL…had no idea who he was before that but he is SO magnetic!!
Michael B Jordan
Sean Bean
Jason Hughes as Ben Jones in Midsomer Murders- look it up!
Rachel Weisz
Oh goodness yes, Michael B Jordan!!
Riz Ahmed
John Legend! My family loves The Voice. I think my husband also crushes on him ?
I’ve been watching old episodes of this remarkably silly British game show called Taskmaster. (The whole thing is on youtube and it’s the perfect diversion!) I’ve been in love with Noel Fielding for ages and I was delighted when he showed up in Series Four. Something about his floppy hair, ridiculous style, and complete ability to be himself wins me over every time.
Another Taskmaster fan here. COVID watching of the highest order! Silly, fun and can really make you laugh :D
Mark Ruffalo young and cute and Mark Ruffalo older and handsome and activist!!
I have a strange crush on Trixie & Katya, in or out of drag. I’m a mostly straight cis women yet… here we are.
Timothee Chalamet. My first celebrity crush in several years. I fantasize about him probably more than I should!
Sterling K Brown…I mean, that smile.
Kyle Chandler.
Always and forever Rob Delaney. Swooooon.
Three out of five for me. Oscar, Dev, and Luke Kirby (Love him as Lenny Bruce)
I’d love to spend the morning with Will Shortz and the evening with Jason Statham. There is a good chance I likely won’t understand the majority of what either of them is saying….but still my answer to this question for ten years running ❤️
after watching Peanut butter falcon I can’t get over how sexy shia labeouf was in it!! sweaty, dirty ,rough, bearded, but so tender hearted. GIMMIE
Sydney Sweeney! I love her bright and open personality and her diverse style in all of her projects.
a.k.a. the post where I google a bunch of mens names lol
OMG!!!!! This is me right now! I don’t know who 1/2 of the people are so I have a second browser open. Copy, paste. Copy, paste…. Happy to see that I’m not the only one. (I can think of worse ways to spend my time.)
Me too.
Hahaha! Same! I thought I was the only one
Just googled Riz Ahmed…
Dr. Fauci!
Bill Hader!
Riz Ahmed!
Pesro Pascal
Omg I have such a crush on him from Mandalorian and I CAN’T EVEN SEE HIS FACE. He has such an energy though, phewwww!
This is a no-judgement zone, so…
Greg O’Shea from season 5 of Love Island UK. Forever and ever and ever.
I have spent the past month or two just fantasizing about marrying Jamie from Outlander. Oh my god, please, can he just be real. Good god. (Sam Heughan, ha). Hoooo boy I am in love and am now reading all the books too.
Same here! Spent first half of the year under quarantine and ended up watching Outlander to pass the time…Never thought I’d fall so head over heels “in love” as a result! My husband finds it so amusing haha.
Please get yourself to Men in Kilts. He’s so charming in it. And it’s like a mini brain vacation to Scotland. My husband calls it visual Get Sleepy (a sleep podcast).
Hahaha I’m glad I’m not the only infatuated one :) will def watch men in kilts!
Same. I’ve got it bad… My previous crushes (Paul Rudd, Trevor Noah and even Jared Leto) don’t even come close.
*singing in a Jean Ralphio voice* PAAAAAADMAAA LAAAAKSHMI. I think I would straight-up burst into flame if I ever saw her in real life.
I met her once and took a picture with her! She was STUNNING IRL. Honestly maybe the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen face to face.
Padma is the total package—STUNNING, smart, funny, talented. Every time she comes on the TV screen I turn to my husband and comment on how gorgeous she is!
Michiel Huisman…LOVE. And I’m not a big celebrity crush person :)
Ooo, YES! I forgot about him! LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Ohmygosh. I had a years-long crush on him after Orphan Black and his stint on GOT. Feels like he’s still pretty under-the-radar, nice to know there’s another fan girl out there ?.
yes yes yes! His character in The Guernsey, etc, etc, is IDEAL!
Michael Fassbender
Jon Hamm
Sterling K. Brown
Timothee Chalamet
Beyonce
My lifelong beloved is Colin Firth and a more recent addition is Adam Driver. They each perform complex, multi-layered roles, and yet I imagine them to be simple, kind men in real life. Wowza, all the love!
Erica- we are the same person!
Prince Harry! is my contribution. His love for and support of Meghan, his mom’s compassionate spirit coming through, his awesome rebelliousness and everything good they are going to do together…. so many other good ones mentioned! (Stanley Tucci, Keanu, *Kathryn Hahn*!!…)
Prince Harry is mine too!
