Who did your Mum have a crush on in the 80s or 90s?

[Snooks1971]

It was never like phwoarrr obvious, but looking back she definitely had a thing for Daley Thompson and Paul Nicholas (Just Good Friends).
Good taste Mum!

My mother - Val Doonican.
Me - Andrew McCarthy, Harrison Ford and Paul Weller.

Jimmy Nail

My mum loved Paul Nicholas Ian McShane (Lovejoy) Kevin Costner and Val Kilmer

my Nan loved Tommy Lee Jones as her younger man!

Richard Chamberlain, Robert Redford(can see why myself) Steve McQueen, Paul Newman

Remember a conversation with dmil and agreed on many of the same actors(mind you dh looks very like his df😁)

Yes I fancied Joey too. And Carl from Brush Strokes. I think I’m too old for my own thread

The Thorn Birds

Bruce Springsteen and Mel Gibson.

I thought WTAF about Mel, then I saw Mad Max and it all made sense! 😂

Marti Pellow

When I was maybe 10 ? I think can’t remember exactly I had a horrific nightmare about him chasing me with a load of crocodiles it was terrifying !!

Robert Redford (very young) and then Morten Harkett of A-ha. She has a thing for blonds. Although she would have taken anybody in A-ha. "The drummer always looks very unassuming."

In later life, she's gone in for Daniel Craig. Anybody, as long as he's blond.

Shakin Stevens

This too- just made me smile

Patrick Swayze, she was very happy when she got a calendar of his for Christmas 😆

That sort of thing wasn't talked about in our house but my friend's mum had a big crush on Jeremy Irons.

Had you been watching crocodile shoes?

Bruce Springsteen.

That song will be in my head the rest of the night now!

My mum rather pre-dates the question (as indeed do I!).
Mum didn't have any crushes in that era, as far as I am aware. The only crush I know about is Glen Miller, whose music she enjoyed during the war. She was very upset when his plane went missing.

Michael j fox and david cassidy

Charles Dance and Robert Redford.

Great thread OP!

Michael Bolton!

Donny Osmond, David Essex & Philip Schofield 😬😬😬

Oh and Tom Selleck, which is the only one I've grown up to think was legit 😂

My mum has never once uttered a word to me about being attracted to anyone.

I was a teen in the 90s and liked Leo DiCaprio (rather disgusted by him now dating such young girls)

i must have done ? Or had heard of it?or maybe I saw an ad for it !! I’m not sure as I don’t recall watching an actual programme with him in but somehow it became a terrifying nightmare to do with crocodiles 😂
