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?!

I was too distracted by his accent in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to notice if he was good-looking or not

He was very dishy in The Bodyguard

He was gorgeous in No Way Out in that navy uniform

i absolutely loved that film, loved him in it. such a hottie.

I don’t find him sexy at all. Too boring.

A very common choice of crush back then.

Didn't do it for me but definitely not weird!

TempestTost · 31/12/2024 21:13

Not my type but yes he was considered romantic lead material in some pretty big films. Lots of women thought he was hot.

That's it! Thats what it is!

Show quote history

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.

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

lifebyfaith · 31/12/2024 21:12

I liked him back then too.

Very good looking man.

One of those men who's always looked old.

He was a leading man in an awful lot of films in the early 90s - he and Susan Sarandon were sexy as anything in Bull Durham, and then he and Renée Russo in Tin Cup.

Nothing wrong with having a crush on Costner, millons of others did.

Nah sorry
