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?

Also early forties!

Also Jeff goldblum in earth girls are easy! Definitely awakened something!

I think we were supposed to fancy Kevin Costner but AR looked like he'd be far more fun.

The cringy song they made Christian Slater so ruined it for me. 😂

Most of all, my childish heart belonged to Rocky, with honourable mentions for Arnie as the T-101 hit downtown LA for the first time, Lou Ferringo (although I thought he needed a haircut), Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner and very specifically, Michael Corleone in Sicily wearing tweed.

Paul Newman. I remember watching him in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof when I was very young and feeling all clammy and odd 😄

I still really fancy him. He's perfect.

Another one who was in love with Atreyu, I first set eyes on him when I was 12 at a sleepover with a friend. I then saved up my pocket money to buy never ending story on VHS, I still have it.

My username says it all but my very first crush was Yul Bryner in The Magnificent Seven and the King and I. Set me on a path for fancying bald men.
