Haha maybe this is why 'Peter pan' doesn't seem like an insulting term when talking about men to me xD

I loved rufio soooo much haha.
And then I was spellbound by Jeremy sumpter as Pan.

Oh and honorable mention for Sam Huntington as mimi siku in jungle to jungle (if you know you know). Actually, adult Sam Huntington is still absolutely gorgeous.

Anyone else remember who their childhood onscreen crushes were?

Same for most of these, especially the goblin king.

Athos and D'Artagnan from The Man in the Iron Mask, John Malkovich is still my dream man now!

Freddie Prinze Jr in she's all that was my first love, though. I had posters.

I was going to marry McGyver! My cousin gave me his fanmail address which I thought nobody else had and I was going to be the only one in the world to write him love letters- I never even wrote 1 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

and I also fancied Andre Agassi - think it was the spiky hair, and mullet vibe that got me 🙈

I also had a big crush on Pan

Also Ryan for the OC. It was on tv recently and yeah the Ryan crush is still strong. 15+ years later

In order-
Illya Kuriakin from man from UNCLE
Davy Jones from the Monkees
The American one in the Champions
Tony in the Time Tunnel
Arthur of the Britons and his sidekick

Robert Beltran as Chakotay in Star Trek Voyager. I was very much in love. And also 11.

That said, I'm now 30 and those dimples....🙃

Yes and yes to Thackeray Binx, Peter Pan and Atreyu. Must have had similar tastes as children. I also had these ( they were the same age as me at the time).

Dicken from The Secret Garden when it came out when I was about 10. I can remember watching Casper with my friend when we were about 12 and agreeing that human Casper was 'so handsome' and that the girl should have chosen to save Casper over her dad! I also liked the boy in My Girl 2.

Hutch from Starsky and Hutch and Bjorn Borg.

Obviously I went for long haired brunettes in my teens!

ChobKnees · 18/08/2022 20:29

Haha can't believe we all had similar tastes! Definitely agree to spike from Buffy. He had that bad boy vibe. And Dickon from secret garden. When I saw him again Gavin&Stacey I was like 🥰
