Who's your celebrity crush?
12.06.2025 08:56
But there’s another aspect, I can also find someone physically attractive. In that respect, among other, I have a thing for plus-size women. And when thinking about it: How many famous actresses would classify as plus size? I cannot think of any right now. I am sure I would have had a crush on a plus-size actress. But there do not seem to be any. At least not a lot, for sure. Which is a bit unfair, I have to say. A bit discriminating. TV and films should show more plus size women.
Some examples:
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
And, about a year ago, I saw an old Woody Allen film and saw Shelley Duvall for the first time. And I was amazed. How crazy beautiful that woman was. Her big eyes, the eyelid space (interesting thing to notice as attractive), her paleness (yes, one can like paleness!). Her vulnerable expression and in the next moment that glow, that spark.
I mean, first of all, I love the band. I saw them opening up for Ryan Adams in Philadelphia in 2002. And I was impressed with their music, immediately bought their album If It Was You at the concert.
Right, I also had a Jewel Kilcher poster (which I thought was OK to have because I liked the music as well). First album period. Before her style changed more to glamourous. It was this song and the video to it that got me.

Edina Gangl (water polo):
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.

“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
What are some dirty secrets of Indian (Bollywood, etc.) actors and actresses?
“Bow down to me”
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Pokémon Legends Z-A Is Now Up for Preorder on Switch and Switch 2 - IGN
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
A force of nature.
I actually put images of her on many flyers I created when together with a friend I hosted a monthly punk rock club night as a DJ. One week before, we would plaster the city with homemade flyers.
Horoscope for Tuesday, 6/10/25 by Christopher Renstrom - SFGATE
Abi Tucker
Sinéad O’ Connor
P.S. An interesting thing. In real life, superficially, it’s faces for me. Eyes. And faces. Although I don’t believe that eyes is a superficial thing, actually.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Karen O
Why am I not attracted to masculine men? Why do I like more feminine attributes on a man?
Carolyn Lilipaly
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
And check more YouTube videos. This one, from 2:27: I could watch again and again and again (I don’t, but I would enjoy it).
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
Agent-based computing is outgrowing the web as we know it - VentureBeat
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
This video:
Starting with: Sara Quin.
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
I really do love Tegan as well. But yeah, Sara… I wouldn’t tell anyone about it and I wouldn’t watch Tegan & Sara videos just to see her, but my Sara fascination will surely last my whole life ;-)
Brody Dalle:
I had to google pictures.
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
Why do a lot of autistic people not know how to style their hair?
Her eyes. Her facial expressions. Her style. "The girl who looks boyish is the intelligent boy's choice," she once said, explaining her short hair.
But well, that’s it from me. Yes, I am quite fascinated with female beauty. Mostly, it’s the eyes, definitely. The eyes and the face. But it’s even more fascinating when personality fascinates you as well. That’s the real deal. In real life. And on TV or in videos, you can just admire looks and personality. Without anyone knowing, for my part ;-) I would only share this here, where I am anonymous.
Vanessa Paradis
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
Just watch a few seconds here:
Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
With my definition of celebrity crushes, I actually keep having small celebrity crushes even at 46. It’s more that I admire someone when I see them. I wouldn’t do what I did as a teenager, then watch entire films just to admire someone. I’m a bit too old for that.
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
And: I have always hated watching football and having female friends comment on which players they find attractive. But … I have to admit that when watching sports, me too, I secretly do pay attention to whom I find pretty … Perhaps that is normal. Anyway, it’s just a little “crush” during the game.
Gorgeous. And I love her voice. And she seems to be such an amazing person. She lives in an ecohouse she built herself in some small beach town in Brazil (I saw an interview on YouTube).
And Justine Frischmann:
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
And watch The Petko Dance:
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. So my type, looks-wise. So reminding me of a big love in my life, who looks-wise would be in between Shelley Duvall and Fiona Apple, and whom, of course, I admire in a different way because I actually know her ;-)
(from 30:40 on)
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
First row and Nina Gordon (my friend’s favourite) and Louise Post took off their shirts and played the encore in their bras. Oh boy!
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Kim Deal
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Then the second film, where she was 15:
But I have also always found her really really pretty. And, yes, sexy. During my college year in the US, I had a huge promo poster of her on my door (“Stories from the City…”).
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
I’ve read some not so nice things about her though. I’d rather not know more and keep her songs I like in mind. And this video ;-)
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
So, this one developed into a really big post, way too much. But I felt like writing this down. If not for anyone else, it’s interesting for me to reflect on this.
The first one, as a teenager, was Sophie Marceau. Perhaps my biggest celebrity crush. Seing the two “La Boum” films when I was 13. She was 13 in the first film as well.
Lovefoxxx
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
(more recent)
She was really a teenage crush. I had the films on VHS. And I saw as many other films with her as I could. All secretly, I did not want my sisters or anyone else to notice ;-) Would have been uncool, I thought. So no posters or stuff. Interestingly, my first real life big big crush (for 4 years, without trying anything) looked very similar.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Carrie Brownstein. Same here, I admire her to this day for who she is and what she does. And will always do. And also: My God is she pretty. I’ll always have a celebrity crush on her.
Still so pretty:
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
And yeah, in more recent years, I still have this, when watching TV or music videos, that I then find someone super pretty and just enjoy watching them. Their faces, their facial expressions.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
I do find this topic interesting, browsing through others’ posts. It really shows one thing: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no general standard, really. It’s individual. And that’s quite nice, isn’t it?
Right, and a few years ago, I watched the Martha & The Muffins’ video “Echo Beach” and was really fascinated by the blonde keyboard player, Martha Ladly.
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
I remember having a discussion, one night out when I was 20. Me, my two best friends and the girl I was in love with (but never told her), who had started studying dentistry. She said “teeth gaps are awful, I cannot look at that!”. Me and both of my friends: “Vanessa Paradis!! Sorry, she’s only complete with tooth gap, and very pretty.”
Seems like I, when watching sports, always find an athlete I find very pretty, where I am waiting for the camera to show her. It’s stupid but it’s true.
First of all, for me, per definition, “celebrity crush” means a person I find to be very attractive and I can’t stop watching because I find them very beautiful. I don’t mean an obsession. I never had that. Even as a teenager, I could only have that in real life. A real crush. Permanently thinking about someone. Celebrities were never “real” for me in that sense. And hey, as you will see, there are a lot that have fascinated me, more or less (whereas in real life, it hasn’t been very many). But always just when I was seeing them (or, with singers, also listening to them). So, that’s my definition of celebrity crush.
(MTV days)
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
(Meike Droste, German actress)
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Zia McCabe
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Back then I have to admit I watched a few of her games only to see her. I liked watching tennis and played myself. But with Mary Joe Fernandez, I more wanted to see her.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Here it was just the music videos. “Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth”: You do not even see her that much, on keyboards and tambourine. But every time the video came on, I had to watch, I was waiting for those moments. Wow. It wasn’t more than that though, really.
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Incredibly pretty.
Those were all as a teenager.
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
My very first concert as a teenager was also Veruca Salt then, in Hamburg. Them opening up for Dinosaur Jr. Me and my friend were so impressed that we actually missed Dinosaur Jr. …
Wow.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
Um, yeah …
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Cat Deeley
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
And nowadays I still have this thing when watching sports. Athletes I like to see. I can easily name a few I find very pretty, whom I like to see:
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
I had seen this video on MTV Alternative Nation. Not only did I love the song and went to buy the album the next day, I also immediately was focused on Louise Post. I loved Nina as well, but it was Louise.
Shirley Manson
