Celeb crushes from before your time

[anguauberwaldironfoundersson]

Random, I know.

Anyone else just fancy the arse off celebrities but from years ago or even before you were born?

I have such a thing for Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears, but only in their early 80's era, specifically in the "Head Over Heels" video which would have been released when I was about two.

Also George Peppard circa 1960's and David Cassidy in the 70's (might have read too many of my mums vintage Jackie annuals in my teens.)

I'm hoping it isn't just me!

I’m not sure if that attached, it was just a very youthful looking pre beard Marx!

Oh it did attach. Twice

Lee Marvin
Clint Eastwood
Morten Harket
I was born in the earlier half of the 80s

This thread is reminding me of my mum who would speak longingly about so many of the names mentioned.

I loved Saturday afternoons when we’d be at my grans and we’d all watch the Saturday film on bbc 2.

Happy days

I can still remember the horrible moment it dawned on me that I probably wouldn’t marry Timothy Dalton. I was 11 and he was 47. It still makes me sad

I’d noticed that Joe Biden was hot when young before, but Jesus. That photo of him in the red shirt…

Twenty-something Clint Eastwood was just unsurpassed.

But for a more highbrow piece of eye candy, I give you Alain Delon in Plein Soleil, for much of which he has his shirt off. Matt Damon and Jude Law could never dream of that level of sex appeal.

Can’t believe no one has said Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd

Has no one mentioned Jimi Hendrix...?!

Absolutely gorgeous man. Those eyes. Those cheekbones.The smile... Mmmm...

Can’t believe no one has said Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd

I was going to mention him too but thought I may come across as fancying anything in pants as I've already mentioned several others!

I even fancy Dave as a old man actually.

This is my favourite photo of Sid (it's my phone screensaver🤣)

Patrick swazye in dirty dancing. I'm 25 and when I first watched that film about 13 years old I really wondered why my mum was referring to him as 'a dish'. But I really get it now... That's how I know I'm growing up!

Also, young Tony Curtis, Lawrence Olivier. As a child I used to love Errol Flynn, James Mason, Yul Brynner.

Marc Bolan to add to Jim Morrison and Robert Plant.

Agreed. He is the only celebrity who I actually cried my eyes out when I heard he died. He always seemed like he had a good soul too, a gentleness about him or something. Dirty dancing is such an iconic film. Have you seen him in Roadhouse? And of course Point Break? Phwoar!

Jim Morrison. Oh yes

The calibre of celebrity men has definitely decreased over the last twenty or so years.

Harry belafonte. Heart breaker and womaniser

Paul's Newman, those eyes

Billy Dee Willams
Tbf I fancied loads from about the age of 10 until now

Harrison Ford in all the Indiana Jones films.

Jimmy Stuart in it's a wonderful life.

Gene Kelly in anything.

Micheal Douglas in Romancing the stone.

David Bowie in Labyrinth

Kirk Douglas, born 1916, or Sir Dirk Bogarde (1921, and probably gay).

@OneEpisode

Kirk Douglas, born 1916, or Sir Dirk Bogarde (1921, and probably gay).

Omg yes definitely Dirk Bogarde

Yy to young David Gilmore and George Harrison (known as my mum's favourite Beatle - good taste, mum).

@imjustanerd

David Bowie in Labyrinth

I can't believe I forgot David my-younger-self's-sexual-awakening-in-those-leggings Bowie

Paul Newman.

What a man

I refer to Jim Morrison as my dead boyfriend and I am not sorry.

Also, Ray Manzarek: the organist of The Doors. He was a talented pianist and a good husband, father and grandfather who had time for everyone. Even as an elder gent, he was quite attractive. Sadly, his one flaw was that he was a chain smoker and it tragically killed him. I'll miss him forever.
