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!

Nick Berry in Heartbeat and Robson Green in Soldier Soldier, obviously likes a man in uniform and indeed my dad was in the RAF 😂.

I suspect some of these poster don't even remember the 80s.

My Mum was another who loved Ian MacShane as Lovejoy, David Essex and Paul Nicholas. But her biggest celebrity crush was Cliff and I could not understand that at all.

Marty Pellow and Dr Hillary Jones

That would be because all those shows were on TV in the mid 90s.

Amongst the ones already mentioned my mum had a bit of a thing for Terence Trent D’Arby

John Taylor from Duran Duran

Luciano bloody Pavarotti 🙄

Mine liked Aiden Quinn and Denzel Washington. Still does I think!

ETA can’t believe I forgot to add her number one love, Clint Eastwood - particularly in Bridges of Madison County.

My mum never mentioned it, we didn't chat about who we all fancied in the 80's, it just wouldn't have come up.

I fancied Marti Pellow.

Richard Beckinsale from sitcom Porridge

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. When he was in WWF. And had hair.

Neil Diamond. Nigel Havers. Charles Dance.

Claire Bloom, Diana Rigg, Phranc, Meshell Ndegecello, Kathleen Hanna. Maybe Ani Defranco, although she broke hearts in a less libidinous and more opportunistic way later. Queen Latifah. And eventually Melissa Etheridge.

My Mum had a huge crush on Dirk Bogarde.
I liked Billy Idol, Paul Stanley, David Coverdale and most of Def Leppard.

Rutger Hauer, Clint, Tom Courtenay, Jeremy Irons, Diana Rigg, James Taylor, and Dirk Bogarde.

Shakin' Stevens 🤣

Bryan Brown in Thorn Birds & Clint Eastwood.

And the thread title asks who your mum had a crush on in the 80’s or 90’s? Pretty sure the mid 90’s counts as the 90’s.

The only one I can think of is David Beckham, she’s stayed loyal all these years since 😂

My mum properly fancied Steven Segal.

Denzel Washington
Kevin Costner
Mel Gibson

They were here faves and still are

Bergerac.

George Best & Imran Khan

Morse
Dave Allen
Michael Parkinson

Probably no one but I had a crush on Jason Donovan!

Jeez this thread makes me feel old
