I think Sean Hayes from Will & Grace (he plays Will's best friend) is hot! There's just something about him that I love. I also have a strange attraction to Tommy Lee Jones, even though he's "slightly" older than me. I know, I need help. But surely I'm not the only one that gets these weird attractions. (For me, they come in phases, and they only last several months until I move on to someone else). Bono and Larry are exceptions, but they're not strangely attractive. They just ARE hot. Okay, I'm rambling, but I just wanted to see what you girls think.

I know exactly what you're talking about in both the above points. I used to have a huge thing for Tommy. It was because of him that I started listening to U2! (After hearing them in "Blown Away.")

Throughout the years, and often for reasons I cannot explain, I've found myself attracted to Paul McCartney, Stewart Copeland, David Hyde Pierce, Sting, Ewan McGregor, Dennis Miller, David Bowie, and Christopher Walken.

Well, that's my confession.

You think Sting is strangely attractive? I think he is sexxxxy...anyway, I think my vote for this category would be...John Malkovich in the movie Dangerous Liaisons


I am going to add to my list:

*Gavin Rossdale

*Ben Affleck

*Jude Law

God help me: Roy Scheider. You know, the sheriff in the original Jaws. I still think he's hot! Oh, and my penchant for stubby dark guys includes Dean Martin. Oh baby!

Okay, if you all EVER tell anyone this, I will deny it but....

Remember Klinger from MASH?

And attractions to Tommy Lee Jones are not strange.

3.) teachers (long story)
4.) holy
5.) gay

Either all or a combo....INTERESTING...where's Julie? Had a nice talk with my soulmate...heheh...he doesn't count

I completely agree!!!!!

The only person to whom I've been attracted and found it strange to think why was a guy I knew in university who was extremely arrogant. We were friends for a while and I eventually became obsessed with him. Then the friendship exploded. It certainly wasn't meant to be. I don't entirely understand it now when I think about it. He wasn't especially good looking or anything.

As for public figures, most of them I don't find it strange...well...there's Peter Mansbridge, the main news anchor on CBC (the main Canadian TV station.) But even with him I know why. He's mostly bald and my parents' age, but he has a beautiful voice, and he's handsome somehow.

Also, I'd say being attracted to Harrison Ford is COMPLETELY normal!!

Okay, probably the one famous guy I've been attracted to that I have a hard time accounting for is Harvey Keitel. Maybe he was good looking when he was younger -- I don't know, I don't see too many movies from those days. I'm thinking of him in The Piano. Way too old for me, grimy, wearing ugly clothes... and yet. And yet.
