Famous people you used to really fancy but now give you the ick

Lighthearted obvs…

DD and I have been watching Scrubs and I remember how much I used to have a huge crush on Zach Braff when I was younger. I just googled him and he hasn’t aged well and also now find his character really annoying in Scrubs (and now I really fancy Dr Cox 😂). I did also read that he dated the very gorgeous Florence Pugh so maybe he has hidden depths (although the 17 year age gap I found a bit ick inducing too).

Tom Cruise
Johnny Depp
Philip Schofield (when I was VERY young and in his broom cupboard days, I had his poster on my wall)

Agree Christian Slater is every bit as lovely now as he was in Heathers or True Romance.

Ohhh which scene? I fancy him like mad!

I want to say season 1 episode 3. It's quite early on.

Leo Di Caprio from titanic to now is the obvious one

Yep, sleazy cunt. Used to love his acting!

Johnny Depp.
So glad now my teenage prayers went unanswered.

SecondhandMuck · 25/03/2023 10:24

Completely agree about Zach Braff. He and Florence Pugh made a strange coupling. Plus he oozes smarm these days in a way that he didn't before.

Keanu is still gorgeous and such a lovely guy too apparently!

I will love Christian Slater until my dying breath.

@WetBandits I used to know a guy at uni who looked SO much like Ian Watkins, he had a t shirt made saying 'No, I'm not Ian Watkins'. It was the height of emo fringe skinny jeans mania, LostProphets were a big band and girls would throw themselves at him on the regular. He was a right knob.

I imagine he no longer has that t shirt, and probably wears sunglasses a lot.

Pete Doherty
Mark Owen

I used to try and persuade myself into fancying Pete based on his music and the fact that I thought we'd have had fun together. Saw him on The Last Leg recently and oh dear, he has not aged well!

Jude Law. From chiselled smouldering perfection to slightly greasy sleazebag uncle.

I love CS in Untamed Heart, just gorgeous. In anything where he's a bad character is even hotter lol!

I have met him a few times, he's lovely in real life, really friendly and tool time to talk to fans.

Laurence Fox - had quite the crush on Hathaway. Now... enough said.

I hadn't thought of Christian Slater in yonks. How sweet to see so many people still have an enduring lust for him!

Always Keanu 😀

Robbie Williams I heard him on TV .telling an unsavoury story about sex with a fan and he repulsed me !

I always had a bit of a thing for James Spader.
I feel like I shouldn’t still fancy him…..but I kind of do!
