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?

I feel like the odd one out here! For me it wasn’t Michael Praed in Robin of Sherwood but Robert Addie pouting for England, Gisburne was such an epic sulk! Not Stuart Damon in The Champions but William Gaunt’s Richard, I liked his snark even as a little kid. And where’s the love for Paul Darrow’s Avon in Blake’s 7, hmmm? Every time it aired, next day at school was just hordes of us swooning over whatever selfish sarcastic thing he’d done this time. Avon was teenage girl catnip!

Elvis.. probably from age 5 or 6 ..watched a lot of those shit films he did. Set up for a lifetime of swooning over black haired blue eyed men.
