Everyone’s got a celebrity crush. There are a couple of celebs who everyone can agree are just plain hot: Jake Gyllenhaal, Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling. They’ve got it all – youth, beauty, and plain old sex appeal. But for some reason, I always find myself more drawn to, uhh, shall we say… less obvious choices. After all, it’s what’s inside that counts isn’t it? And to avoid all of the hassle (stalking) involved in getting to know my weird celeb crushes, I’ve just made up quirky, loving personalities for them in my head. That’s normal, right?
1. Rupert Grint
Rupert Grint never gets as much love as the other kids in the Harry Potter movie franchise. Heck, even Neville Longbottom generates more love from the ladies! But I am not ashamed to admit that I have a poster of him over my bed. There. I said it.
2. Alan Rickman
Speaking of Harry Potter stars, how is it that Alan Rickman still manages to be so appealing in that weird black wig when he plays Severus Snape?
3. Fred Armisen
I watch SNL just for Fred Armisen. Not only is he hilarious, but he pulls of those Ray Ban glasses in a way that no other man can.
4. Zach Galifianakis
There’s something about the way that Zach Galifianakis can make almost anyone uncomfortable that I find so endearing. We all know him from The Hangover movies, but check him out as he does awkward celebrity interviews in Between Two Ferns.
5. Michael Cera
Michael Cera is a weird looking dude, and yet I WILL go out of my way to see him play the same awkward, forever–fifteen-year-old dork in every teen flick he stars in.
6. Alec Baldwin
As if I don’t feel enough like Liz Lemon in my everyday life, one glance at that piercing blue stare and I’m sold!
7. Colin Firth
Colin Firth is the quintessential British gentleman that we all wish we could bump into and fall in love with. Yes, he’s old enough to be my dad, but he’s not and that’s the point.
8. Conan O’Brien
Conan was my first late night love. Even Craig Ferguson can’t outrank him in my heart. There’s something about a man whose hair has a life and persona of its own that is simply irresistible. Also, I obviously have a thing for gingers…
9. Jason Segel
At 6’4” I wouldn’t mind getting a big bear hug from Jason Segel. He’s goofy, adorable and makes my heart melt! Forget Sarah Marshall and marry me Jason!
10. Hugh Laurie
I loved Hugh Laurie even BEFORE I knew that he was actually British. Now I’m just completely obsessed. If there’s one thing the show House has taught me, it’s that if you have to have a bizarre disease, it’s better to have it treated by a smoldering hot doctor with a cane.
*Bonus* – Javier Bardem
There’s absolutely nothing weird about having a crush on Javier Bardem. It’s only really problematic if this crush developed while watching him play a sociopathic hitman in No Country for Old Men.
