Mine was Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. I was 14 when I first heard them and was a big fan from the get go. Then I saw the then young Dave and thought he was beautiful. I still do. His voice makes me go weak at the knees.

Christian Slater. Oh yes indeed.

Sean Bean when Sharp was on the tv 🥰 still would

Namechanged to for blindingly obvious reasons, and also removed a lot of identifying detail..

Eeehh, yes - my teenage crush was a sports star. By some absolutely bizarre twist of circumstances, I actually know him now, and he was at one stage one of my DH’s bosses. And yes, another time, another place, I still absolutely would! It got to the point a few years ago where I made the conscious decision to avoid him as I had a sneaking suspicion there was a bit of mutual attraction and wanted to nip it in the bud.

Funniest part is that he is most definitely NOT that conventionally attractive, and if I were ever to have admitted to my crush in real life, everyone would have thought I was mad.

Kurt Cobain. He didn't get older 😔

FromDespairToHere · 30/03/2021 10:51

Teen crush - Jon Bon Jovi. I wouldn't now, no.

However I've been crushing on Simon Le Bon since I was about 6 and yes, I most certainly still would 😁
