How has your childhood crush aged?

David Duchovny was my first crush 😍 I had posters of him and the X Files all over my bedroom. I've just started watching Aquarius on Netflix and oh my god, he's still gorgeous! I actually think he looks better, but that may be because I've aged 25 years as well and am no longer into men in their 20s!

I loved henry Cavill in the tudors when I was a teen, hes still bloody gorgeous now

Another richard Armitage fan here to

Real life, hes aged so well, I bumped into him aged 21 and he was still bloody gorgeous and doing okay job wise but now i hear hes earning 200k a year off shore and I've seen pics of him on flashy yachts looking gorgeous. Hes totally grey which is premature as a 30 but I love grey hair so he still does it for me

Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker. Just and ordinary looking guy of 68 now, but I love it that he hates Trump, loves his wife and supports his children. Just need to get him onside with trans issues. Step up Mark, you know you want to!
I served him when I worked in a restaurant! I actually thought he was gay to be honest as he's very flamboyant. Amazing person though, was chatty and friendly to everyone and so patient with all the Star Wars nerds that formed a queue next to his table 😁

For me it was always Michael Biehn from Terminator. Has a more beautiful man ever lived?

Jon Bon Jovi. So fine.

Joey McIntyre - not too bad actually. Then Isaac Hanson and J from Five when I was a teen. Isaac aged really well, he was odd looking as a teenager. J disappeared so we’ll never know.

David Byrne... hell yeas still would

Mine was Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block. I still think he’s lovely; judging by recent guest appearances on Fuller House.

I agree on that Isaac has become a graceful swan after his ugly duckling appearance.

And J from 5ive I thought I was edgy liking him because if his eyebrow ring.

My childhood crush,Brian Connally from 70s band The Sweet,died tragically young,aged only 51 in 1997. About 5 years ago I watched an interview that he did a couple of years before he died,and to say I was shocked is an understatement. I almost didn't recognise the poor bloke. He looked dreadful,so ill and haggard. I had to stop watching it before it reached the end as it quite upset me.

Mine was Peter Fleming the tennis player and I think he’s aged very nicely .

@SheWranglesRugRats

Gilbert Blythe. Dead.
Surely that should be fictional so still young and handsome.

George Michael was my teenage crush so gay and dead.

SheWranglesRugRats · 16/07/2020 21:36

I meant the actor, whose name escapes me. Jonathan Crombie.

Lovely Keanu.
