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.

Brian molko-yes
Jared leto-no (shudder)

Michael Stipe - only if he's clean shaven. I don't like beards.

Sean Astin - yes, definitely. I loved him in The Goonies when I was 9, then in Memphis Belle when I was 14. Wasn't fussed when he was in Lord of the Rings, but when he was in Stranger Things I loved him again. He's so cute. Grin

VienneseWhirligig · 30/03/2021 18:18

Marti Pellow - yes, although I met him and he is tiny. Like a twig. I would probably snap him in two.

Hugh Grant - yes!

Jason Donovan - meh, probably not

Daisychainsandglitter · 30/03/2021 18:21

Kurt Cobain- sadly deceased
Jarvis Cocker- yes definitely

FenceSplinters · 30/03/2021 18:23

Brett Anderson and no!

Velouria · 30/03/2021 18:23

Velouria · 30/03/2021 18:24

Does anyone else remember Blair underwood? From LA law? He was super hot

treehousethunderstorm · 30/03/2021 18:25

Joshua Jackson - absolutely!

GaraMedouar · 30/03/2021 18:25

Scott Baio - yes
Scott Bakula - yes

Wagsandclaws · 30/03/2021 18:28

Michael J Fox, not anymore and not because he has Parkinsons but because I've also heard he likes lavender and I'm not exactly his type. Wink

Keanu Reeves, absolutely Grin

Andrew McCarthy - oh yes! He's got a very young beautiful Irish wife now though so no hope there Envy

RichardMarxisinnocent · 30/03/2021 18:35

George Michael - yes
Morten Harket - yes
Rob Lowe - yes
Joe McIntyre and Jordan Knight from NKOTB - hell yes
Mel Gibson - sadly not
Tom Cruise - no

Mmmmdanone · 30/03/2021 18:36

Johnny Depp- no!

Is there some hidden meaning to this that am failing to understand, or do you literally mean he likes the herb lavender, and for some reason this makes you not his type?

Yes I do and yes he was

@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows

Leonardo DiCaprio

And no I don't he right creeps me out now. His dating pool seems to get younger as he gets older, gives time the ick

Came on to say the same thing. He was so beautiful in his youth. He still makes me go weak at the knees in Romeo & Juliet! But he is grim now, shagging models barely in their 20s and he looks increasingly like Jack Nicholson.
LunaNorth · 30/03/2021 18:43

Phillip Schofield.

That’s a hard no.

I think the poster is suggesting he’s gay.
AnnaMagnani · 30/03/2021 18:45

Stefan Edberg. Not even interested in tennis anymore.
Morten Harket. Absolutely. Probably more so now than then.

LunaNorth · 30/03/2021 18:47

But also...

Jeff Goldblum - yes.
Paul McGann - yes.
Paul Young - nope.
Bob Mortimer - yes.
Bruce Willis - no.

SaucySarah · 30/03/2021 18:47

Morten Harket from Aha - but now I fancy Mags more; he's more rugged. Morten looks a bit sinewy these days.

bemoretiger · 30/03/2021 18:52

David Boreanaz as Angel - sadly he turned out to be a creep.

Richard Armitage - hell yes.

Frokni · 30/03/2021 18:55

Joaquin Phoenix- Still yes!
River Phoenix- hasn't aged of course so yes still fancy him!
Method Man (Wu-Tang)- fancy him same as always! He looks sexy AF getting ripped in the gym on his insta page.
Ronan Keating- definitely don't fancy anymore
Peter Andre- not as appealing anymore but he is aging nicely I feel.

DrCoconut · 30/03/2021 18:56

Gary Cherone from Extreme was my huuuge crush as a teen. I had a magazine picture of him in my homework diary. That seemed to be a bit of a thing to do with pictures of your crush. Do homework diaries even exist anymore? I still listen to Extreme's music sometimes but I outgrew the crush years ago.

RichardMarxisinnocent · 30/03/2021 18:59

Thank you. I was thinking it might mean some sort of obscure sexual fetish that was perhaps too weird or awful to name. Glad I was wrong!

Same here. I really didn't take much notice of Mags back in the day, but he certainly has aged well.
