Who Was Your Teenage Crush? Non Cringe.

[LucilleBluth]

Mine was Keanu Reeves, unequivocally. I'm 40 in December...all my friends loved Take That etc but I loved Keanu. He's was always in Just 17 magazine and I watched Speed sooo many times at the cinema.

He really was my sexual awakening as corny as it sounds.

I was also partial to an Ethan Hawke...but he was no Keanu.

Jeremy Irons. Always and forever.

Freddie Prinze Jr, Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joseph Fiennes.

Oddly given how alike all my teenage crushes looked I’ve never even dated a dark haired or brown eyed guy!

I’ve just realised Joseph Fiennes is Commander Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale and got “the ick” so bad I want to vomit.

Leonardo DiCaprio 😍😍 That man!!

Chris O'Donnell. I was besotted 😂

Yesssss! I had Keanu Reeves posters all over my wall and loved watching Speed! Totally with you OP!

Yes, my DH looks nothing like Keanu, he looks like Liam Gallagher. Oh well, maybe husband no.2. Fingers crossed.

Chris O Donnell was perfection back in the day. Ugh. Gorgeous, gorgeous man.

(I'm a similar age to you... will be 40 in April)

Johnny Depp. I still love him now!

Marti Pellow.

Jon from New Kids On The Block.

I was a teen in the 80's and my teen crush was Steve Jansen, drummer for the band, Japan.

My love for Steve has endured decades.
I finally met my love, I mean, Steve back in 2002 and I was deeply in awe of his beauty.

I may be almost 50 and Steve is now 60 but he just gets better with age.

Hopefully you can see his photos since he was never really famous. The first is him in 1978 (aged 19) and him last year, aged 59.

Ryan from the o.c

John Taylor the bass player from Duran Duran. I still dream about him occasionally I'm 50 and my love hasn't waivers in all these years

Chandler Bing! Not Matthew Perry but the character, always liked funny men obviously! Also early series not when he got a bit older and fatter

@elp30 he is nice! Never heard of him!

George Michael

Dex Dexter from Dynasty

Prince - ongoing and enduring. I adored him, one of the most beautiful, talented men to ever grace this planet.

Jude Law.

Am 42 this year to put it in context! Think he's a total arse now but was beautiful back in the day. Also Keanu Reeves.

Rob Lowe!

I had several but the ones that really stuck out were Joey McIntyre from New Kids of the Block and Matt Dillon.

Ryan phillippe
Justin Timberlake
These were the ones I crushed on the most but i had many crushes

Ray Winstone and Oliver Reed when he was in Oliver as Bill Sykes.

@elp30 wow he’s gorgeous and absolutely doesn’t look 60!
