Cringey childhood crushes

[FunTimes2020]

As a very young child I had a crush on Brian Cant! That is my earliest recollection of having some sort of feelings for someone of the opposite sex!

😂😂😂

Does 13 count as a child? I watched BBC version of Pride and Prejudice and very seriously fell for Colin Firth. That wet shirt....!

I used to go ever so peculiar and embarrassed when the terribly handsome Bob Warman was reading Central News.

I was madly in love with Tommy Boyd when I was about 10.

Richard O’Sullivan though! No shame in that, he was lush.

PS I got my friend some Joy Division oven gloves last Christmas.

Yes !
Not read all the thread but Jason Donovan was my main crush.
I absolutely LOVED him age 12 - 13.
Christian Slater early 90s with Pump Up The Volume and Heathers
Also Robin Hood Prince of Thieves I'll have been about 13 and well fancied not only Will Scarlett (C Slater) but Alan Rickman too. Even though he'll have been about 40 so totally not appropriate lol

Had a huge crush on Jarvis Cocker..I won some memorabilia on Live and kicking..was such a fan! I met him when I was 18, and royally messed it up..still cringe to this day

Actually I still have a crush on Alan Rickman. I was devastated when he died.

Philip Schofield when I was about 10. Can't stand him now, I'm sure he gets more irritating with each passing year!

Adric from Dr Who when I was 6 or 7. I had a Viewmaster with one or two pictures of him and used to gaze earnestly at him in 3d.
Then Captain Kirk. Again I had a picture I used to gaze at adoringly.
Then Alan Alda in MASH when i was 11.

didn't everyone have a crush on Alan Rickman tho

I had a bit of a pash on my (female) french teacher when I was 13.

You know how you do those little daydreams about rescuing them from danger and ignominy?

....just me then...

The bloke from Tight Fit and Ant Jones from Grange Hill

@MrsMoastyToasty Robin Cousins here too and then .... Richard O'Sullivan when he was Dick Turpin 🙈

Mike Baldwin from Corrie 🙈🙈🙈

@nodtik I met Robin Cousins once (we're from the same part of Bristol).

Kenneth Williams! John Craven! Mike Baldwin from Corrie! Just returned to the thread this morning and have been chuckling at everyone's crushes!!

I'm in my 50's now and have a nice new secret crush that I haven't told anyone..

Adam Lambert! 😍It's not just the way he looks, its his stage presence, the whole package, yum

Danny Zuko from Grease (John Travolta)

I quite fancied Leslie Grantham as Dirty Den

@Lemonmaid

I quite fancied Leslie Grantham as Dirty Den

Now that makes my childhood Brian Cant crush seem very reasonable!

I’m very grateful to those of you who’ve made my crush on John Craven seem quite vanilla

Now that Mike Baldwin and Kenneth Williams are on the table, might I add that Roy Castle held a certain attraction for me. My young heart had a little flutter when he sang ‘dedication’ on Record Breakers’

That's so funny, BettyCarver , not just your crush but how you wrote your post! 😂

@funtimes2020 it’s a great thread, thanks for starting it. Quite cathartic

@MrsMoastyToasty 🙈🙈🙈 there would have been a time when I would have wanted to kill you .... 😂😂😂

I'm glad you are enjoying it, it is funny isn't it ?!

I can see why Brian Cant keeps popping up. His Wikipedia entry has a photo from 2007 and he’s very handsome in a wholesome kind of way.
When I watched Play School I used to wish he was my dad!
