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

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?

Princess Leia

Do I still admit that I still fancy my first human crush?

Peter Egan in Ever Decreasing Circles. I was around 10 or 11 and he was in his forties Shock However, recently he has been in Unforgotten and more recently After Life, yep still fancy him.

Cartoon wise Robin Hood the fox in the Disney version, also He-Man because he had the power.

CautiousOptimist · 18/08/2022 21:08

Yes to foxy Robin Hood!
Also, later, Pacey from Dawson's Creek of course.

TheLeadbetterLife · 18/08/2022 21:09

Scott Baio in Bugsy Malone
Jack Wild in Oliver! (The Artful Dodger)

I obviously had a thing for the bad boys when I was pre-pubescent, though I also liked Jason Donovan, and Ralph Macchio in the Karate Kid.

My teen crushes were Steve McManaman, Eric Cantona and Ronnie O’ Sullivan.

Oh, and embarrassingly, Dec.

most of my energy was spent falling in love with various boys at school though.

Agree with Jack Wild in Oliver!
but also Captain Scarlet Grin

AlternativelyWired · 18/08/2022 21:15

Morten Harkett I think at around age 9/10, followed by Luke Goss, Marti Pellow on the music front but Patrick Swayze and Tom Cruise in Dirty Dancing and Top Gun respectively at about age 12. To be fair I was more in love with the planes and still am.
