No word of a lie:

Jeremy Clarkson has secured the title of the UK's sexiest man for the second consecutive year.

The 64-year-old presenter surpassed notable contenders such as Prince William, Idris Elba, and Cillian Murphy in the annual poll conducted by IllicitEncounters, that brands itself “the best online dating site for married people”.

The Clarkson's Farm star achieved an impressive score of nine out of 10 points in the survey.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland secured the second spot in the UK's sexiest man list, which coincides with his return to the West End.

He's only 64? I feel like he's been 64 for 15 years

I feel there's additional context needed to explain this website and saying.

I assume it's a static page because we're always at it, we can't help ourselves.

Sexiest British Islander.

He's from the expressly not-British part.

Kilian Navyman, the famous brummie actor?

Going to pretend to be Sigmund Freud for a minute and try make sense of this:

in the annual poll conducted by IllicitEncounters, that brands itself “the best online dating site for married people”.

Okay that makes sense, Clarkson's considered the sexiest man among middle aged adulterers that still use these niche sites. He's rich, powerful (or gives off that impression) and older.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland secured the second spot in the UK's sexiest man list, which coincides with his return to the West End.

Also makes sense, middle aged adulterers looking to relive their "glory days" and get with someone that looks much younger. The opposite of Clarkson.

Freudist level of explanatory power there alright.

Notable contenders such as Prince William

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'd definitely go with Idris Alba, or Spider-Man, but I'm not a woman, or a gay man, so what do I know?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 16 points 6 months ago

It's OK, women and gay men were unlikely to be well-represented amongst the people polled.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's ok no one is straight enough not to be attracted to Idris Elba

What about Alfred Molina, then?

I wish Lemmy stopped circle jerking to this abusive, racist old cunt.

Edit: I'm getting dowvoted because Lemmy jerks off to this old fuck. His racism is no secret, he's unapologetic about it. He assaults people over sandwiches. He's a garbage human, stop defending him.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 16 points 6 months ago

I thought I had missed some kind of weird JC-lovers undercurrents on Lemmy but posts about him are few and far between - this is the first I could find on this instance's communities and it's very much in the right place.

[–] rubikcuber@feddit.uk 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There was an interview with him in the Saturday Guardian recently which was basically along the lines of "I'm not an old cunt anymore"... Something about mellowing or it being an act or something... And then he proceeds to be an old cunt for the rest of the article.

[–] FMT99@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it's probably true that he originally did his little insufferable racist act for money. But play the part long enough and it rubs off.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I think that age and good country living have mellowed him out a bit. He's not nearly as much of a stupid asshole in the latest season.

Don't kinkshame.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I mean the label's on the tin. Can't fault him for meeting expectations.

That said, it's almost all an act and tbh I don't really see the racist part. "the hill" comment was like one of those jokes he immediately was like "yeah shouldn't have said that" just blurted it out because the setup for the joke was red carpeted for him.

What incidents do you remember?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No Chris Hemsworth?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He's Australian

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

But they included an Irish guy in the list...

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

Fair point, friend. But I didn't produce the list. Just pointing out a fact.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago

He's at least from the British Isles.
