Weird teenage crushes (that you may still hold a candle for)

[Furrybootsyecomfy]

I am watching Jaws while putting up my Christmas tree (because of course).

Remembering my almighty teenage crush on Richard Dreyfuss specifically as Matt Hooper. I first saw this movie when I was about 16 so 1999. I’m convinced it’s influenced my lifelong penchant for smartass, slightly nebbish men, boat shoes and oilskin jackets.
Would anybody else like to share their odd teenage crush (who still set their heart aflutter)?

Of course now I that I am a more mature woman, I realise Chief Brody is the only viable romantic option aboard the Orca.

David Bowie for ever and ever and ever

Tom Selleck as Richard from Friends.
Alan Rickman as Snape.

Not weird really but Joshua Jackson has really stood the test of time

I also fancied Paul Nicholls (Joe Wicks) from Eastenders

My weirdest crush is probably Richard Osman or Gareth Southgate

@Furrybootsyecomfy
Have you read the book of Jaws? I think you’d like it if you’ve got a thing for that character!

Rowan Atkinson but only as Blackadder II

I wasn't a teenager....

When I was five years old I fell madly in love with Kenneth Williams.

(He was so sharp! and so funny! and the way he slowed down and then sped up to be talkingwhenthewhistlewent! ... and then there was Twice Round the Daffodils too)

I cried when he died. And then every time I found out about his life I cried a little more...

Have realised since that all my greatest celebrity crushes are skinny pointy faces with a facility with language. Quite obviously I have Never Got Over It.

Tim Curry as Frank n’Furter in the Rocky Horror Show.
Still would

Jan-Michael Vincent in Airwolf, who doesn’t love an (old) man in a flying suit

Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys

@EtinTerraPax We should double date as mine is Neil Tennant. (...although I'm not a bloke which might be an issue for him)

David Bowie and Jeremy Irons.

my five year old is obsessed with jaws and watches it at least twice a day and i was just telling my boyfriend yesterday that i quite fancy hopper. my early teen crush was bugsy malone, and then billy loomis in scream when i was a bit older.

I remember one of my first ever crushes (way pre-teen) being Robert Lindsay and have to say I think he’s aged pretty well (to my eye anyway).

Pat Sharpe! Oh my goodness he was my first love

Emlyn Hughes. I still feel unnecessary when I meet a chap with a daft laugh, in a good quality v neck sweater .

Jason Donovan. My love for him has never faded

Lol @Shockers

Sid James
Yul Brynner 😍

Danny McCormack from Wildhearts/Yo-yos. Still would even since his leg problems.

James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire but Nicky can stay home these days.

David Thewlis. Especially as Lupin or Johnny from Naked or juat himself. Lovely.

Simon Groom from Blue Peter. I was obsessed.
Also the lead singer of Shawaddywaddy. I don't know his name but... phwooar
