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!

Also Will Bill, shame ITV didn't commission any more

Michael Praed - from Robin of Sherwood. And Avon from Blake’s Seven.

Always George Harrison and Omar Sharif - small dark and handsome

80s was Don Johnson
90s was David Duchovny

George Clooney, Marti Pellow

Roger Black

Oh and Andy Garcia!

Tom skerrit who played viper in top gun whilst I was crushing on Tom Cruise

Philip Schofield.

David Essex. Paul Nicholas. Karl Howman. Mags from Aha. Lovejoy. Marti Pellow

Cliff Richard and Nigel Havers.

Michael Bolton

Oh and Kevin Costner

Cliff Richard.😂

Jimmy Nail, Sean Connery and Clive Mantle!

My mum thought she loved Rick Astley until she saw a picture of him and found out he was so young. She'd loved his voice and assumed he was an older man.

We both had a crush on Sean Bean - I still do.

I love that so many of our mums had people who were dishy!!!

I wonder that today's alternative term would be?

In the 90s I remember she was obsessed with Ruud Gillit (think that's the spelling) and Ralph Fiennes.

My big crush in 1980s/90s was Don Johnson in Miami Vice. He seemed so cool then roaring around Miami in his Ferrari after the bad guys.
Now in hindsight he looked ridiculous in his white suits with the jacket sleeves rolled up, white loafers/ no socks and highlighted beachy hair.

My mum would’ve been 93 and loved Sasha Distel.

Noel Edmonds and Inspector Morse!

Sean Bean as Sharpe- especially in the " Sir, there are ladies present, in that case I would expect there to be gentlemen present too" scene.

Not that I've watched it more than a few times😊

Anything in trousers, and she's no different in her eighties 😊🤭

Phillip Schofield!!

James Nesbit... Which was fine until I mentioned in front of the kids that we had to watch Missing because he was in it. My DD booked a parents evening chat with her music teacher... Aka his sister. My DD took great pleasure in telling her that I fancied her brother. I could not get out of there fast enough.
