I was most disturbed to find out that one of my long-standing heartthrobs, Clare Grogan (of Gregory's Girl/Altrered Images/Red Dwarf/VH1) is 41 this year. And even more upset to find out that Andie MacDowell is 45. 
So - who's the oldest person in the public eye that you still fancy?

Well I'm forty something and my girlfriend's twenty something, so maybe this question should be addressed to her. Am I "the attractive older type"?

Not exactly in the public eye, though, are you?

Hmmm...I'm sure we've had the 'is there anyone famous on h2g2' conversation before, and the best we could come up with was a Weakest Link contestant and someone who once did the weather on local radio.
I'm sure you'd have come up.

Hmmmmmm...Bob Monkhouse...Des O'Connor...Hugh Hefner...
Does it really matter how old your crush is? As long as they are still good looking in your eye and you still can't get enough of them then what is the problem. It would be worth the debate if you were actually dating the older crush.
