First on-screen crushes (when you were a kid/teen)

[Pinkbonbon]

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?

Terry Duckworth

Oh yes. And I really liked Harry Kim too!

Oh yes I absolutely liked the kid from casper too!

Spike from Buffy is still quite appealing even now!

Also back when I was young there was some
guy on childrens TV called Jiffy...no idea who he was or what programme it was.

Also Zack from Saved by the Bell 😜

Christopher Atkins in The Blue Lagoon 😍

Bit of a theme going on here...

😄I think a few kids preferred him when he was the Beast to when he became human at the end!

Andy and David Williams (the Williams twins). The nephews of Andy Williams. I had a pen pal in USA and she used to send me magazines with them in.

Ooh, I remember another one- young Leonardo dicaprio in the Critters movie.

Actually surprised i wasn't into draco malfoy as a lot of these teen crushes were blonde now I think on it.

@Riverlee as a young teen, definitely Michael Praed in Robin of Sherwood and Rocky from Boon. I certainly did like long haired brunettes for quite a while. When I was younger I watched quite a lot of black and white films and remember liking Errol Flynn (some kind of Robin Hood swashbuckling thing going in there!)

Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Oh I did love him so - and the film.

I'm going to see the stage show of it next week with my teens. I hope it's good. I'll be heartbroken if, now I'm an adult, I realise it's total crap.

@Inclinedtochatter omg yes Christopher Atkins ❤️🥰

The boy out of ET when I was 6.

@upinaballoon - 100% agree with Jess Harper (bit surprised to see him mentioned, I bet not many people remember him!). I also loved Little Joe from Bonanza and Dex Dexter from Dynasty

@shirleyjackson I only clicked on to see if anyone said Phillip Schofield

@squashyhat Peter Duel. Yessssss. I also liked the guy playing Kid Curry.

Mainly Alan Alda in MASH.

Sean Bean in the Sharpe series - I used to video them and watch them after school before my parents got home. I must have been 12-13 ish then so prob not first crush, but def one of the biggest!

Michael J Fox
Matt Goss
Eric Stoltz (double whammy of Some Kind of Wonderful, then Memphis Belle). He's still got it!
Keanu Reeves (I snogged someone at uni who looked like him in his Speed days, highlight of those three years!).
Johnny Depp (pre-Pirates).

Toby Maguire in Spiderman. I saw it in the cinema and my goodness, I was smitten. I was about 12.

Jim Hutton from the Ellery Queen series
Anthony Valentine from Raffles and Colditz
Simon Williams from Upstairs Downstairs
David Soul from Starsky & Hutch

The fox from Robin Hood for me too

Eric from the little mermaid
Paul Nicholls from Eastenders

Uncle Jesse from Full House
and
MacGyver

I still would, with MacGyver.

Gosh I feel I was an early stater in the crush stakes compared to some of all yours 😂

Mark from battle of the planets cartoon probably age 5/6?

I just googled photos of MacGyver and have had the startling realisation he looks a lot like my husband 😆. Guess I had a type all along...
