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?

Not me - but my mate found a piece of paper which her little sister had written the immortal words...
" I love Dick Van Dyke"
🤣

I loved Tom Cruise for years. then it was Ryan Phillipe from Cruel Intentions.

Darlene from Roseanne.
I remember begging my sister when in I.T classes and learning about the Internet to print me loads of pictures of her.

Ooh yes, I liked Peter Egan as well.

Also Karl Howman when he played Jacko in Brush Strokes.

Oh god, I've just remembered the most embarrassing one ever. Eamonn Holmes, when he started out on TV. Just googled and it was a show called Open Air. I vaguely remember being off sick from school and watching it. I'm blaming my fevered brain for that one.

@grey12 Leonardo from the TMNT cartoons 🤷🏻‍♀️

Michaelangelo was mine!

2nd in command Jason was the one for me. More of an edge!

Bruce Willis in Moonlighting, back when he had hair.

Also had a crush on John Walton - the dad, not John Boy. Looking at this pic he looks spookily like my dad/grandad which explains a lot!

It was the actor who played Jesse in Free Willy and I also really liked the original actor who played Pete in Round the Twist.

Chris Masterson as Bowen in Cut Throat Island was my initial "oh hello" then I was thrilled when he showed up in Malcolm in the Middle.

Then a few years later, James Marsters as Spike in Buffy. Specifically earlier seasons however. Couldn't be doing with the moping around from season 4 onwards.

Paul McCartney c1965
Mr Spock
Oliver Tobias in Arthur of the Britons
Illya Kuriyakin
Paul Newman
Sidney Poitier
Mel Gibson
Sean Bean (Sharpe)
Harrison Ford
Spike
Irish Elba

I'm sure there's many more, I'm 64

Idris, not Irish ! 😆

Came on to say Richard Thomas - John Boy, although I didn't see him in the Waltons, think it might have been what was probably a dreadful show called Battle Beyond The Stars; but so many others now that you mention them! Def had a thing for the fox in Robin Hood; and Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman... seems I didn't have a type, apart from maybe dimples...

You obvs had mature tastes! 😁. 47

Almost! 47

Me too, I had posters of him (prob from J17 or Mizz) on my bedroom walls. He seemed to disappear. Sad to think only 2 of the 5 are still alive.

One (I!) has to be quite old to remember Jess Harper. Robert Fuller. The 1962 Cowboy Calendar has a picture of him wearing black gloves and holding a gun. Oooh, I wonder if he's on Youtube.

Eliot from E.T. and the boy from Freeee Willy!!

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Christopher Reeve yet.

I'm of the era where the Superman was the guy who saved Terri Hatcher who was later in Desperate Housewives. He was for tbf

*fit

Bruce Lee I adored him

then:
Michael Jackson (Thriller so before he looked ridiculous)
Adam Ant
Richard O’Sullivan as Dick Turpin
Martin Shaw in The Professionals

also but a bit later Dave Allen. I was about 14 he had grey hair and looked 65ish

Well, rgey do say that strange things happen when you're going round the twist ;)

I forgot about Dean Cain. I liked him too. He's probably the only "nice" guy I liked.
Reece was my favourite from Malcolm In The Middle although I sort of fancied Francis too.

I forgot about my most shameful crush... Shia Labouef in Even Stevens. What an arsehole.

Back in the Dark Ages, Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide, when I was maybe 12.

Yeah I liked Shia in Even Stevens too.
