Who was your celeb teen crush and do you still fancy them now they've got older?

[VampireTheBuffetSlayer]

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.

Rupert Everett since Another Country.

Still would (although he wouldn't ! I think he's ageing very elegantly and looked gorgeous on Life Stories recently.

@BobbinThreadbare123 My friend was more of a Nuno fan. It was going to be a double wedding . It makes me feel so old to think that Gary is 60 in a couple of months time 😫. Yup, I still know when his birthday is. He looks young for for his age and I'm guessing he's into some kind of health regime from his appearance but I don't find any of the band attractive in that way any more.

My first crush was Michael Jackson, so no...

Leonardo Di Caprio. Meh.

These days I fancy Jensen Ackles.

There's also those celebs you have no interest in when younger and now find hot.
People who get better either age, am thinking Zac Efron and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Damon Albarn

Adam Ant

Wouldn't kick either of them out of bed...

Robbie Williams from the take that early days to the Angels days.Dont fancy him at all now.

Donny Osmond (don't judge!). No, not now.

Joye Tempest and Mic Michaeli from the band Europe. I had crazy crush on those two in late 80s. Not now.

Jason Donovan. Nope.

And also Jordan form NKOTB.
Not anymore.

Michael Nesmith and yes!
I wasn't born when the Monkees were originally big, but I've liked him since I saw him singing Circle Sky in the film Head. It was on TV one night in the late eighties/early 90s and I was memorized!

@RichardMarxisinnocent

I think the poster is suggesting he’s gay.

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!

MJF is definitely not gay! He's been happily married for years! To a woman!

Joseph Fiennes in Shakespeare in Love - now eewwwwwwwwww rapey sicko Commander Waterford in Handmaid’s Tale so big fat NO.

Johnny Depp - couldn’t even look at him in Cry Baby as it was all too much for my teenage hormones (it was an “old film” by then as I’m only in my 30s now and it came out over 30 years ago). Again ewwwww no due to morally dubious stories around him. Also grown out of the bad boys/addicts are cool phase. Also...stopped fancying him after creepy MJ style Willy Wonka anyway.

Freddie Prinze Jr - disappeared didn’t he? Also married Buffy so killed that dream off for me (to marry him not Buffy lol).

Talking of Buffy...

David Boreanaz (Angel). Finally. One that actually stood the test of time! Yep still fancy him (please don’t tell me his a rapey creepy drug addict now).

Antonio Banderas - he’s a bit too old, he always was really but he’s still got something.

Interestingly, I’ve never dated a guy with dark hair/eyes . Even though teenage me clearly had a type!

Yes to Zac Efron!!!

Similar age. Nada during the HSM days. Now it’s all about the Efron.

@Catsaremybesties ooh yes. Joey Tempest was another one when I was slightly older. He is still a looker too. I'm sure Swedish musicians have discovered some kind of fountain of youth.

Keanu Reeves.

Absolute gent of a man and has aged beautifully.

My life has been enriched by having a teenage, middle age and old age crush on...
Jeremy Irons.
But I’ve been a fan for so many years, reading about his wife and children, his Irish castle, his motorbike that he’s like an old family friend.
So no.

Slash from guns n roses I thiughts he was sex on legs and yes I still do and most definitely would

MJF is definitely not gay! He's been happily married for years! To a woman!
I knew he was married and was pretty sure he wasn't gay, but thought perhaps the person suggesting he was knew of a rumour I didn't know about (I tend to be the very last person to hear any rumours or celebrity gossip)

SuperintendentHastings

Nick Heyward. And yes I do 😊

I never fancied him when he was young. Also I wasn't into his style of music. However I went to a very small gig that he played and he is gorgeous, looks brilliant (hate saying this) for his age!!
I came away loving him. Really humble, funny and gorgeous. I becamr a fan!!

Martin Kemp - yes
Lenny Henry - yes

John Taylor - early 1980's - Yes!
John Taylor - 2021 - Hell Yes!

Gutted to find out last night that Duran Duran at Hyde Park this summer has been moved to summer 2022. Was soooo looking forward to it. However 10th July 2022, I'll be there!
Last year during Lockdown #1, JT did bass tutorial videos on Duran Duran's YouTube channel - they were brilliant, his enthusiasm for his music kept me smiling when times were shitty.

Brendan Fraser - nope but he was perfection in Encino Man

Joey McIntyre - nope

Dwayne Johnson - oh god yes.

Brad Pitt - sure

Rob Lowe - absolutely. That man is incredibly beautiful.

Oh and Keanu - most definitely.

@Jocasta2018

John Taylor - early 1980's - Yes! John Taylor - 2021 - Hell Yes!

I was a very big DD fan back in the day. I am very weird though in that I don't want to see them live on stage now I'm not young and they aren't in their twenties any more. I want to remember them as they were in 1982.

I did love JT's bass tutorials last year though. I think NR takes himself very seriously these days.
