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.

Dec of Ant and... fame. And yes. He only gets better with age.

notacooldad · 31/03/2021 15:58

Lenny Henry - yes
I saw Lenny Henry being interviewed the other week and he looks great!

SweatyBetty20 · 31/03/2021 15:59

John Taylor. All the day long.

Chesney Hawkes - saw him performing a set at a holiday camp in 2019, my god he was so sexy!! Can’t see what I saw in him when he was in his 20s but now he is gorgeous! When he sang ‘The one and only’ it was like I was transported back 25 years to being a teen again!!

Jason Donovan - urgh!! No thank you.
Robbie Williams - urgh!! Has not aged well.

Heath Ledger. Sadly dead so hard to know but I reckon he'd age well (he'd only be mid 40s tbf!) but I def reckon he'd still be hot.

Paul Nicholls and his floppy hair on EastEnders. No, he's not aged well.

Gareth Gates. Nope.

vampirethriller · 31/03/2021 16:11

Carrie Fisher and I did to the end
Dwayne Johnson, still do
Chesney Hawkes, I have no idea
The Mountie from Due South, again would have to look him up!

@Sparklingbrook
NR showed the beginnings when he published 'Interference'...
Roger's Desert Island Discs videos were also great to watch.
As for seeing them live & not being as good as they were in the '80's? I'm quietly confident they'll pull it off.

StCharlotte · 31/03/2021 16:23

Actually I think he just needs to "scrub up" and he'd be fine.

Mine is Rob Lowe and I swear he's even more beautiful the older he gets. Sadly I'm the reverse Sad

My first line was referring to Mark Owen. The initial quote obviously didn't work.
Cocolapew · 31/03/2021 16:40

Debbie Harry, yes
Mel Gibson, no but he was so beautiful 😍
Prince, yes right up to the end Sad

Michael Praed in Robin of Sherwood was another one of mine, flowing locks, brooding looks and running around the forest. V nice.

Then not so long ago he turned up in Emmerdale as a middle aged bloke with grey hair, and it was not the same. Grin

MrsVeryTired · 31/03/2021 16:44

Jared Leto, still looks pretty good, although not keen on the weirdo Gucci fashion model style he sports these days.

MrsVeryTired · 31/03/2021 16:45

And John Taylor, oh yes! Grin

JosephineBaker · 31/03/2021 16:52

Morten Harket - damned right.
Kevin Bacon - I love you, Kev, but those frigging adverts are passion killers.
Harrison Ford - I went off him when he dumped his second wife for someone the same age as his kids.
Sam Neill - definitely.
Jaclyn Smith - I assume she's long dead. And no.
Kathleen Turner - Still love her, no longer fancy her. Buty my god she was glorious and sexy as hell when she was young.
Kate Bush - yes

PrudenceDictates · 31/03/2021 17:01

Adam Ant - no
Julian Cope - hell no!
Roger Taylor (Duran, not Queen) - maybe
Keanu - yes!
Andy McCluskey - yes
John Foxx - yes

notacooldad · 31/03/2021 17:22

jaclyn Smith - I assume she's long dead
She really isn't!.
Alive and well apparently!

Amdone123 · 31/03/2021 17:42

Nick Hayward, Haircut 100.
No. I googled him recently. No.

GingerBeverage · 31/03/2021 18:02

Just putting it out there that the mountie from Due South (Paul Gross) is 100% NOT gross.

Who was your celeb teen crush and do you still fancy them now they've got older?
vampirethriller · 31/03/2021 18:28

@GingerBeverage ooh he's aged very well.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 31/03/2021 18:57
