Jeremy Irons.
Being (obsessed) a huge fan has, in some small way, shaped my life.

Michael J Fox . We even had a Fan club at school with membership cards and everything. Password for the club was 'mega beaut man yeah' . So funny thinking about it now Grin

@Apolloanddaphne
Donny Osmond was my first crush. I proper loved him. I possibly still do. Blush

Have you seen the adorable video of him surprising a long time fan in her own home on her birthday? (I’m a bit scared for this video in case you will die of jealousy and/or rage or think to attack this woman for stealing your man) Grin

ethel I met the lead singer of Showaddywaddy. He handed me his trousers to hold while he got changed for a gig (they were all half dressed). I still think it was an odd thing to do, they could have said they didn't want me to come in the dressing room until they were changed. I like to think they have a sense of the ridiculous and just thought it was amusing...

Mine was Marti Pellow and Noel Whelan. I knew Noel and also knew he was a knob, but he was pretty. I've met Marti as an adult and I still would.

Keanu Reeves in his Point Break days...

tisonlymeagain · 29/11/2019 11:00

Mark Owen.

iklboo · 29/11/2019 11:02

Lewis Collins from The Professionals

CaptainMyCaptain · 29/11/2019 11:05

David Bowie in the late 60s early 70s. I realise now that he might actually have been interested in a 14/15 year old girl. Confused The past is another country.

SciFiScream · 29/11/2019 11:08

Patrick Stewart. Though he is 37 years older than me and I started my crush (which still exists) when I was 12 in 1989. 30 years of loving him.

He's now married to someone younger than me...

Headinthedrawer · 29/11/2019 11:12

Robert Smith.Pretty sure I messed up at least 1 GCSE thinking about him in lessons rather than doing any work.

RockinHippy · 29/11/2019 11:14

Rockinhippy which was which? Do tell

Micky Finn was a really lovely guy, if a troubled soul & became a friend after we met him in what was our local pub

Dave Hill became a pest & was the weirdest looking creature in RL, not helped by having the same hair & clothes some 15 years & several stone later & already looking 30 years older

Sadly Marc died before I ever git the chance to meet him ☹️

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

And I was going to marry Nick Rhodes. Only he went and married Julie Anne who had a face like a smacked arse. You think after snagging my bloke she’d actually crack her face once in a while.

His current missus doesn’t look like a barrel of laughs either. He must have a ‘type.’

YouSetTheTone · 29/11/2019 11:27

Tim Henman Blush

Mumshappy · 29/11/2019 11:27

Steve McDonald from corrie. The shame. He and the other brother came to my school for something or other and I slept with him autograph under my pillow for ages.

Tonz · 29/11/2019 11:29

Keanu Reeves and Billie joe Armstrong from green day... nowadays I still love them both but Tom Hardy..just wow

maidenover · 29/11/2019 11:30

Marti Pellow - I still would btw

kierenthecommunity · 29/11/2019 11:37

Patrick Stewart. Though he is 37 years older than me

And I thought I was weird having a massive crush on Lindsey Buckingham 😂

Well, I probably still was as by all accounts he’s a bit of a bastard with an ego the size of Wales, but the 21 year age age now looks meaningless 😃

Handbagsatnoon · 29/11/2019 11:38

I had a few
Mark from take that..I cried real tears when the band broke up.

Then AJ from backstreet boys, but the biggest crush I had was Peter AndreBlush oh dear lord how I loved that man, i had a small picture of him next to my bed that i used to kiss every night Grin

happypotamus · 29/11/2019 11:42

Stephen Gately from Boyzone, then when I was older teen Gavin Rossdale from slightly obscure rock band Bush. He married Gwen Stefani and I never forgave her!!

Auldspinster · 29/11/2019 11:43

Lindsay Buckingham was gorgeous, but yes he seems like a knob.

I was another Roger Taylor fan, although the adult me prefers John.

JockTamsonsBairns · 29/11/2019 11:53

Kenny Dalglish Grin Practised my married signature and everything, so it must've been actual proper real love.

CoolCarrie · 29/11/2019 11:55

I’ve grown up loving Keanu, what a lovely man he seems, and despite my jealousy I really hope he has found someone brilliant now.

David Cassidy , David Bowie and David Essex all three were beautiful in their prime, and I was so sad when two of them died. Bryan Ferry was also a favourite of mine, and what a blast from the past to see Pete Duel mentioned, he was a lovely looking man.
