Do you have any current celebrity crushes?

It appears there hasn’t been a thread on this for 3 years, and longer than that for one from me. I just haven’t been in the mood. But I guess I should lighten up a little. I have always gotten celeb crushes and posted bigger lists. But making this one shorter. My biggest current celeb crushes include:

AnnaSophia Robb (actress)
Cait Fairbanks (actress and singer)
Heather Gardner (more minor celebrity but great on politics. Heathergtv is her Twitter handle)
Yvonne Zima (haven’t seen much from her lately, but was an actress on Young And The Restless)
Katrina Bowden (actress)

She has an amazing combination of intelligence and charisma.
And John Oliver, I swear he's one of those men that gets hotter with age.

I also like Benedict Cumberbatch and Jared Harris (yes, he's goofy, but I think he's hot, especially his voice). I just realized I must have a thing for British men. Oh, and Denzel Washington since forever!

"Your girrrrlfriend is on TV..." I remind her that she nearly faints when Jason Momoa pops up on screen and we both agree to crush silently.

I'm still in love with Crystal Gayle. In my fantasy world she still looks like she did in the 70's. I refuse to look up any recent images.

I listen to a French music show on CBC and was mesmerized by one of the songs; come to find it was him (it's called "Pieces de Vivre" ).He's younger than I am, with a husband, and there's no travel to Canada right now, so the chances of it working out are zero, but that's what having a crush is all about.

I watch her talk, admire what she's saying.

But there's this guilty pleasure in watching - she's so damned HOT.

Seems quite a few still have celeb crushes.

If I did honorable mentions, they could be:

Holland Roden (actress)
Olivia Holt (actress)
Salma Hayek (actress)
Alyssa Milano (actress)
Alison Sudol (singer)
Michelle Branch (singer)
Melissa Benoist (actress)
Zooey Deschanel (actress and singer)

I do also have a crush on AOC because of her personality and politics along with good looks
