To think young Kevin Costner is NOT a weird crush!

Cassiopeialark · 2024-12-31T21:05:57+00:00

Making the DC watch Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Made the mistake of telling them that I had a crush on Kevin Costner when it came out. Tween DD is absolutely aghast and relentlessly mocking me. I said to DH that it’s refreshing to see a leading man with uneven, slightly yellow teeth and bad hair! AIBU to think that Kevin Costner was HOT back in the day?!

He's handsome but just a little bit too pretentious and pleased with himself

I’d be so pleased with myself if I was that gorgeous! 🥰

I agree! He's hot in Robin Hood!

828Pax · 03/01/2025 11:26

Oh yes I bloody loved him!!

Manchesterbythesea · 03/01/2025 11:18

He is gorgeous, always was.

KimberleyClark · 03/01/2025 11:13

I think he still looks good. Loved him in JFK too.

Oh I had a big crush on him as Robin Hood. (And Christian Slater in the same.)

Yes me too! And Bryan Adams 😂

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 03/01/2025 11:08

It was a very standard crush at the time!

I definitely shared it at one point. Can’t understand it now but it was definitely very common.

Mirenamirena · 03/01/2025 11:08

I don’t think old Kevin Costner is a weird crush either (but then, I’m old and he’s always been in my list 😀)

He was as sexy as hell in The Bodyguard, that's for sure

Agree!

I totally agree most handsome cowboy by far. He has beautiful eyes and eyes don’t age

Harrison Ford was gorgeous, he hit his absolute peak in The Temple of Doom but was still lovely for decades after.

Temple of Doom Ford, phwoar!

He's got the sort of capable in a crisis attractiveness about him, definitely not a pretty boy.

Yes. Was watching him in Hidden Figures yesterday and thinking how it was a similar role to Jim Garrison in JFK. I never fancied him but he's completely fanciable.

Ladylangstrand · 31/12/2024 21:10

He was gorgeous in No Way Out in that navy uniform

I love love love that movie!

mitogoshigg · 01/01/2025 22:30

Back then not weird, was a pin up, but I see why today's youth will find the movie stars we fancied odd as tastes have definitely changed in men

my Kevin crush has lasted right from when I saw The Untouchables - he was and is bloody gorgeous

On tonight. What a treat.😍

See, DD has a slight obsession with AR and did NOT stop going on about him throughout the whole film. So methinks she has a crush on him… which would explain why she thinks my Kev crush was weird.
There is absolutely no competition, personality or talent wise in that film!
I read that KC was in such high demand that they shot RHPOT in high speed as he was between shoots for Dances With Wolves and JFK and the British weather added lots of time pressures. Watching it again, you can kind of see that!

You can see that but I really don’t care. FWIW I think Costner stood out like a sore thumb in that movie but that was mostly because of his accent. still one of my favourite movies of all time, guaranteed to make me laugh out loud and I do love KC. I also love that the movie made my home a worldwide destination

Well, I mean, when watching RH it would have to be Alan Rickman for me but there’s nothing wrong with a Costner crush!

I was full on, flat out obsessed with him in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Had his poster on my bedroom wall and everything 😁 and then I saw him in the Untouchables where he wears a 3 piece suit in every scene and I just about DIED. Andy Garcia too - god what a treat. Brilliant film

Spot on that Costner has always looked 'old' and distinguished. I always liked a very mature looking man, even when I was 11 apparently 😁
