It’s All in the Eyes: My Celebrity Crush

I’ve been dreading this book and more blog hop post all month. I feel like I’m at school again, being forced to do homework in my least favourite subjects, like religious studies or maths.

This week, Viviana MacKade asked us to reveal our celebrity crush, and I’m cringing. I’m not comfortable with this. I feel too old to have a celebrity crush, but at the end of the day it’s just a little harmless fantasy, so here we go…

I’ve had plenty of celebrity crushes over the years. It started with Christian Slater when I was in my teens, then moved on to Matthew Perry. However, I’m not sure it counts because it was Chandler, rather than dear Matthew, I liked.

There was a bit of Ewan McGregor during my university years (which included a giant poster of him above my bed), but I know someone who’s met him and, apparently, he’s very arrogant, so that killed that. Will Smith had also been a front-runner since his Fresh Prince days, but that’s died a death since “the incident”.

So, who counts as my current celebrity crush? I don’t know. I refuse to consider anyone under forty. It just feels wrong. That means Michael B Jordan is out (what a shame).

I have two boys, and over the years we’ve watched a lot of superhero movies, so there are a few celebs named Chris in the running. Hugh Jackman was up there for a while, but he seems to have faded into the background for me these days.

Chris Evans is lovely (have you seen those eyelashes?), but a bit too pretty. I read that Chris Pratt’s devoutly religious (this could be speculation but I’m trying to narrow down my choices here), and I don’t think we’d be compatible, so that leaves Mr Hemsworth. From what I’ve seen on TV and social media, there’s so much to like: Australian, great with his kids, and has a good sense of humour. The height may be an issue, considering he’s about 6’5” and I’m 5’1”. Hmm… stepladders may be required.

Wait a minute, I forgot the other Chris, the one with the startling blue eyes. Yes, Mr Pine is the Chris for me. I’ll watch him in anything. This blog hop is making me reveal many titbits and I guess I’ll have to admit, I’m a Star Trek fan and I love his James Tiberius Kirk reboot.

So, what promised to be a difficult post has turned into a nice little wander into fantasy land with Mr Pine, his rugged handsomeness, and his mesmerising blue eyes. Beam me up (with Mr Pine), Scotty!

Who’s your celebrity crush? Let me know in the comments and find out which celebs catch the eyes of the other blog hoppers.

Oh, I forgot Ryan Reynolds.
