@HenSolo I still watch X Files from time to time. He's stood the test of time.

Did you ever have a pet with the same name as your user name btw?? If so I might know who you are in RL.

George Michael. I remember before he came out he said he had a thing for Madonna. So I started to style myself like 80's Madonna. I looked ridiculous and I have no idea where I thought I was going to bump into him in my small town.

HenSolo · 29/11/2019 08:15

@StrayWoman haha no I haven’t but I definitely would if I ever get chickens Smile

GothMummy · 29/11/2019 08:19

Neil Gaiman.

Matt Dillon circa The Outsiders. I had a real thing for bad boys.

Shout out for Keanu, though not particularly a teen crush, he is my self declared "celebrity hall pass".

SugarThreat · 29/11/2019 08:22

Eminem! 😂😭

Goodnightjude1 · 29/11/2019 08:23

Corey Haim and Gary Barlow....I went to see Take That and took a massive ‘I love you Gary’ banner. I was sure he’d see it and whisk me away and we’d live happily ever after.

He didn’t.....😢

David essex and i did bump into him on a quiet street but was too pathetic to say anythjng other than Shock

Jordan Knight. 10 year old me thought I'd marry him and move to Boston.

elQuintoConyo · 29/11/2019 08:26

Only me marrying Matt Goss then...? Blush

Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music.
David Essex.

ChilliMayo · 29/11/2019 08:32

Roger Taylor from Duran Duran. (I never go for the obvious ones.)

I waited quite a few years for the expected event and then the b'stad went and married some Italian girl and bought a farm in the rolling sun drenched hills of Tuscany, probably with the evening sun glinting off the distant Duomo whilst they sat on the terrace above the fragrant vineyards sipping wine made from their own grapes.

aneres · 29/11/2019 08:34

Ralph Macchio for me.

StrayWoman · 29/11/2019 08:36

@HenSolo I have a friend who had a chicken with that name!

RockinHippy · 29/11/2019 08:51

Showing my age here, but Mickey Fin, Marc Bolan & Dave Hill.

I did meet 2 of them as an adult, 1 became a friend & the other a slimy creep who was so full of himself that he didn't even take notice of my blatant rudeness too him & he was a testament to how deceiving teen mags & celeb photos could be even back then as he was tiny & ive ni idea what I saw in him🤢
