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.

Blimey is luke Perry dead, that bit of news passed me by Sad

Why does a celeb being gay mean you no longer have a crush on them? I don't get that.

Anyway, Mark Owen - no; Tony Mortimer - no; Wendy James - no.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 30/03/2021 19:06

Christian Slater, and yeah, he's still pretty hot.

Hoolihan · 30/03/2021 19:08

Oh and Brad Pitt, absolutely fucking divine in Thelma & Louise. Less so now but probably wouldn't say no if he asked nicely 😂

Patrick Swazye (sorry unsure of spelling) has been over looked. He was hot in point break & dirty dancing. Still sad that he’s no longer with us.

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 30/03/2021 20:01

Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) - erm nope! Prefer Johnny these days Grin
Bruce Willis - yes still would
Luke from Bros - Blush might do
Jason Donovan - nope
Morten Harket - absolutely yes
Tom Cruise - nope

Most of them have aged pretty well to be fair, but also seem to have turned into arrogant arseholes. Except lovely Bruce who always comes across as a decent chap.

Lizzie523 · 30/03/2021 20:03

James Marsters from Buffy and yes 100%. He has just got divorced. One can dream...

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 30/03/2021 20:06

@treehousethunderstorm

Joshua Jackson - absolutely!
Ooh yes - he’s another one who’s improved with age.
curiouscatgotkilled · 30/03/2021 20:13

crashbandicootwarped · 30/03/2021 21:12

Bramblebutter · 30/03/2021 21:22

Jeff goldblum. When I was 10. And yes! ...Also the Mounty from Due South - but I darent look now incase it's too cringe. Grin

TankGirl97 · 30/03/2021 21:24

Keanu and yes, far more than ever! Lovely, handsome man.

JaneJeffer · 31/03/2021 00:17
