To think young Kevin Costner is NOT a weird crush!

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?!

It is not weird to be attracted to an obviously attractive man.

DollopOfFun · 01/01/2025 00:28

Yes he fits in that old young guy group. Like Harrison Ford. Okay he looked young in Star Wars, but then became Hot Dad in everything else. Hubba hubba.

Still hot now, love a bit of John Dutton 😢

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2025 00:25

He was lovely in the ' body guard'
Really fanciable

Newshed67 · 01/01/2025 00:22

Oh god no, you have great taste, he was absolutely gorgeous

Gorgeous then. Gorgeous now. Not a weird crush at all!

Agreed!

LushLemonTart · 01/01/2025 00:18

Still would

I think he is very handsome. Loved him in Message In A Bottle most of all

He was gorgeous in No Way Out in that navy uniform

Had totally forgotten about this. Thanks for the reminder!

I went to see Robin Hood prince of thieves with my older, cooler cousin and her friends. They were all lusting after Christian Slater. I kept my love for Kevin Costner to myself.

The Bodyguard!

I couldn’t believe my mate fancied him.
Deffo viewed him as a “dad type” here!

There’s nowt wrong with a Dad Type

Oh my. Robin Hood. Dances with Wolves. The Bodyguard. No Way Out. Field of Dreams. I had a HUGE ENORMOUS crush. Going to have a look at Netflix to see if I still do. 🥰🥰🥰

Me too xx

He was like 34 in Field of Dreams but looked about 50. It's strange it's only the past couple of decades men look a lot younger despite aging.

Steve Martin was another one. Born old.

Show quote history

My DH said this earlier! We were considering watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I still like him now, currently watching Yellowstone and he’s the only cowboy for me!

I'm devastated he's not in the latest series. He's gorgeous. I've got a full on crush on John Dutton.

NasiDagang · 31/12/2024 21:42

He was ugly.

Birdscratch · 31/12/2024 21:33

Also, Alan Rickman owns that film. YABU to even notice Kevin Costner.

Snowmanscarf · 31/12/2024 21:31

Yes, he was a crush back in the day.

Birdscratch · 31/12/2024 21:30

My sister liked him, back in the day, and I mocked her for it then. Sorry.

ueberlin2030 · 31/12/2024 21:30

I always enjoyed watching him, when both he and I were younger. 🤩

unrsnblyannoyd · 31/12/2024 21:27

I would very happily share a forest waterfall with him even in recent times much less his younger PoT days

I've been to that waterfall and it's absolutely bloody freezing!!!
