Straight Guys Are Sharing The Male Celebs They Have Man Crushes On, And It's Both Hot And Endearing
Being straight and having a crush on someone of the same sex is a perfectly normal thing — and no, it does not mean you're secretly gay or bisexual.
Seven Network
And recently, I stumbled upon an old viral Reddit thread that explored just that. Reddit user u/ILoveTallWomen asked this question to the r/AskReddit community: "Straight men of Reddit, who do you consider handsome?"
ABC
Well, the straight guys came through with the replies and got very honest about the famous men they have man crushes on. Here are some of the top-voted and best comments:
1."Chris Evans is infuriatingly handsome — he just makes it seem effortless that it makes me incredibly angry. I love the Marvel films, but the combo of him, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Hemsworth makes me just want to give up and crawl into a hole."
"I'm not gay, but I would let Chris Evans fuck me just to say I did."—blackgalion
"Chris Evans + beard = mind-blown"
2."My husband has a major man crush on Hugh Jackman."
"He's a funny, charming, devoted husband. What's not to like?"

"That he's jacked as shit and can sing as well!"
3."Matt Bomer"
"This is my vote. His character in White Collar makes me question my sexuality."
"Holy fuck, this is the right answer. I'm straight, but if he offered me one crazy night...damn."
"There he is...the only thing that keeps me relatively straight while watching that show is the gorgeous women they keep pairing him up with, or just show up."
4."Jason Momoa. I'm not saying I'm gay or anything, but if he asked me to I'd do it... And I'd then rub it in the faces of all my female friends who wanted to be with him."
5."I'm obsessed with Ewan McGregor's face. It's like God invented the greatest smile known to man, walked away from it, and then POOF gave him eyes that undress you in the most disarming yet pleasant way."
"Oh my God! I have found another!I too have a man crush on Ewan McGregor. All my friends say it's gay and that he's 'not even that attractive.' How dare they? He is a beautiful man."—PeesOnChildren

"Chris Hemsworth. He's the kind of guy who makes me say I'm 99.9% heterosexual."
"Chris Hemsworth. His face, his hair, his muscles, his voice... I'm a straight guy, I swear!!!"

11."I think a young Marlon Brando must be somewhere in the top 5."
Warner Bros.
"I don't even think he's that handsome as a younger man, but damn that GIF has made me question my sexuality."
"Yeah, it's not just young Marlon Brando, it's young Marlon Brando doing that thing. That thing that makes underwear melt into a puddle on the floor, irrespective of gender."
12."Alexander Skarsgård. Not even questioning my sexuality any more, I want his peen."

16."Timothy Olyphant"
"Took me far too long to find this suggestion, he's my first choice.My fiancé still makes fun of me for refusing to watch the Justified DVDs we borrowed because they were in SD instead of HD; if I can't make out the individual stubble hairs of Olyphant's magnificent face, I don't see the point in watching."—TheBrownWelsh
"Ergh...My girl picks on me relentlessly because one day I happened to agree with her that he 'was a good looking guy.' It'd be close between him and Jason Statham, but I'd have to say Timothy Olyphant would be my man crush."—KngNothing

"Dude, that scene from Blade Trinity where he is chained up, shirtless, with the V showing, I prolly would've of gone gay for that. Or sold my soul to have a body like that."—aerofiend5000
