What's your view on celebrity crushes?

[Mystic Mock]

I was just watching a YouTube video from an account called CubeHub01, with the video called Fans That Went Too Far.

And the video was more about fans being obsessed with Celebrities, and how some of these fans interact with their favourite Celebrities.

But I want to just exclusively leave it at the attraction lane, as I think that half of the scenarios in the video that I watched, had that kind of thing going on where the fan in question was clearly into the Celebrity.

Now what's your thoughts on having a physical attraction to someone that you don't really know? Is it creepy to you when people find (say,) an Actor/Actress attractive, full stop? Or are you one of them that thinks it's completely okay to have an obsession with a Celebrity, and even hope for something more? Or do you see yourself as possibly having a more nuanced take on the situation?

For me personally I think that there's nothing wrong with fancying a Celebrity, as long as you have a healthy mindset, and know that realistically you have no chance with the Celeb in question, or to be generous you have a 5% chance at best for something more.

But as soon as you start thinking that you have the right to control a Celebrity's life, that's when it's gone too far in my view.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I think it's ok to have a crush on a celebrity but as you mentioned there is a point where it becomes dangerous. If the person becomes obsessed, the celebrity consumes their thoughts 24/7, they create fantasies in their head and start to believe it, in their head they have a parasocial relationship with the celeb. This is is extremely dangerous when the celebs actually engage with fans on a regular basis like on twitch or IG lives. And those that actually date fans well they are just creating problems for themselves because then every fan will believe they have a chance "if only". So like everything, too much of anything isn't great. A person needs to be able to differentiate between the entertainment and their real life.

Have you got the link to the video you mentioned? I would like to see it

[user104658]

"Finding someone attractive" or appreciating that someone is objectively good looking even if you don't personally "fancy them" is never creepy.

Obsession is always creepy. Celebrity, stranger or someone you know.

That's the simple truth of it IMO.

(You are of course allowed to be somewhat infatuated with your actual partner :hee: )

Tom Hardy could fall on me.....

Maybe crushes is the wrong term ?

Everyone will have a few people that they find irresistible ..

My beautiful wife has had a soft spot for Richard Gere for the last 40+ years since the Officer and a Gentleman movie and she still thinks he was dreamy in the Second Best Exotic hotel movies ..

Likewise I still fancy Sinitta forty years later

Maybe our brains get changed or fixated on some people

Then again speaking as a bloke , there are some gorgeous women who I find unbelievably attractive due to their stunning looks aligned with great personalities - it makes them irresistible .

I’m thinking women like Cherlize Theron , Jennifer Lawrence or Annabelle Wallis ( Peaky Blinders and The Tudors)

Its amazing how successful that is!

But Zizu has kind of hit the nail on the head, on imo what should be a more healthy way of viewing attraction with a Celebrity.

What do you think of Rihanna? I've always thought that she was very hot when I was younger.

I haven't heard any new songs from her in awhile though, so I don't know if she's physically changed at all.

Soooo supposedly Jay-z took a shine to Rita when she first burst onto the scene .. she was young .. very young .. 17 or so

He apparently flew her over to the states where she ‘auditioned’ for him and for a while he had a preference to Rita over Rihanna ( recording-wise) so the two girls fell out ..

Also Beyonce wasn’t impressed with her husband’s ‘fondness’ for Rita and released a song called Sorry which apparently referred to Rita ..but didn’t use her name ..

A lyric, featured on a song from Beyonce’s Lemonade LP, refers to an affair between the pop star’s husband Jay-Z and another woman, who is referred to by Beyoncé as “Becky with the good hair” … who was Rita

Well it was back in 2008 and maybe he just became obsessed with Rita and wasn’t very attentive towards Beyonce ?

She apparently suggested something was ‘going on’ in the song … the only thing up for discussion was the identity of the other woman .. though it was supposedly obvious to those in the know

Selena Gomez isn't really my type, but I get her appeal tbf.

If we're talking specifically singers that I personally find attractive, then there's quite a few.:laugh:

Alicia Keys
Rihanna
Beyonce
Rita Ora

Those are the ones that I've already said or agreed with other people on, on this thread.

But I'd also like to nominate:

Jessica Meuse - I know her look won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I will be adamant that American Idol won't have a contestant that's more attractive than Jessica Meuse imo.

Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) - I can't even fully describe it, but she has a look that draws me in lol, I don't know what else to say.

Amy Lee (Evanescence) - I think that Amy Lee was one of my earliest crushes in my childhood.:laugh:

Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless) - I like to not think of her as the little girl from The Grinch.

As an adult, she has an appeal that I can definitely get behind.

Leona Lewis - Again one of my earliest crushes in my childhood.:laugh:

And no, I don't agree that she looks like a Horse.

She's classy imo.

Shakira - Obviously.

Danna Paola - I definitely didn't complain the first time that I saw one of her Music Videos.:joker:

Audra (First To Eleven) - The greatest cover band that ever lived, Audra is gorgeous imo.

That's probably it for my Music crushes as it currently stands.

The first sentence is definitely true !!

As regards the relationship part .. I don’t think anyone who has these celebrity crushes ( for want of a better term ) is thinking about having a relationship with them - its just purely about attraction ( aside from maybe the sick ones )

Speaking for myself I'd definitely say that's true, but I think it's the case for everyone on here tbh.

The only thing that I take from my Celebrity crushes, is what attributes do I like most about them, whether it be through physical attraction or how they conduct themselves when listening to them speak.

As I've said prior, any regular joe's chances of getting a Celebrity (A-list or Z-list) is very slim, even a chance at being friends with them is slim, you're most likely never even going to interact with each other.

It still doesn't stop it being fun imo having the Celeb crush though, as long you have a healthy mindset about it.

Imo controversial opinion it's a bit of both.

I think for men and women, as much as neither side likes to admit it (although I personally see nothing wrong with it) both genders are wired to be drawn to who we find physically attractive, because people aren't hooking up with someone that they think looks like Sloth from The Goonies, they just aren't.

But being able to like the person is obviously important as well, as otherwise you'll end up half killing each other by the end of the relationship.

BIB - I meant that I personally see what I like in a Celeb that I personally think has attractive qualities (looks and personality wise) and then apply that into the qualities that I would be looking for in a potential girlfriend, because as I've already stated, I don't think that it's likely that you will end up with a Celebrity that you find attractive.

To not discourage anyone too heavily though, if you really want to shoot your shot at a Celeb crush then go for it, but just be prepared for either no response, or a flat out no being said to you.

Keep your expectations to a more realistic level, if you're going to try and flirt and land a romantic relationship with a Celebrity/someone in the public eye, especially if they're incredibly attractive too, because there will obviously be loads of other fans, and people in general that have probably approached them too.

Edit... And don't say anything really weird or creepy, like "I didn't even murder or rape you on the Lift," which yes it's a real message that was given to a woman by a creepy ass guy.
