Who was your childhood celeb crush, and do you still fancy them now they’re (and you’re!) older?

[GeneralChaos1]

I LOVED Leonard DiCaprio so much (especially in Romeo and Juliet) and now… still think he’s a great actor but, given the chance to run off into the sunset with him, I think I’d be put off by his penchant for the younger lady. Which I guess also means that I’m never going to actually be given the chance to run off into the sunset with him anyway…

Who was yours and are they still your type now you’re both older?

As a Take That fan in the early 90s, it was Gary Barlow for me.

Still think he's kinda cute, but I've since learned people think he's really boring, so that's off-putting!

Robbie Williams seems like more fun 😉

Now, per my user name, it's Jay Hernandez. He gets better with age imo!

Adam Ant and Morten Harket. Adam Ant not my type now. Morten Harket, yes quite possibly my type even now.

Roger Taylor from Queen
I still adore him

Victoria principal of Dallas fame.
I've not googled to see what she looks like now so can't say if I still fancy her.

Nope boyhood dream crushed.

14 year old me was crazy about Adam Ant. I saw him in concert last year and was thrilled so yes I still like him

Jimmy Nail.

Corey Haim. Ended sadly and he has died now which is quite sobering

Morton Harkett the bone structure endures.

In chronological order:

Philip Schofield - absolutely not 🤮

Jason Donovan - a bit

Ryan Giggs - nope!

Robbie Williams - yes and no. I still think he's good looking but seems like a bit of a tit.

I'm a lifelong loyal girl. I loved Harrison Ford in Star Wars and still love him now and also Mark Harmon from when I first saw him in Flamingo Road in the 80s to this day. I'm 56, and it creeps me out when some of my contemporaries have crushes on celebrities 30 years younger.

Keanu. We are getting married one day. Just so you know. He's ageing like fine wine.

Noel Edmonds in the late 70s. Now? Definitely not!😂

This is embarrassing but I had a crush on Donny Osmond when I was 10. I don't know what I saw in him - all those teeth!

Oh I loved Donny too!😁

Gareth Gates 🤣 to be honest I haven't really thought about him since I was about 12, so just googled him to see what he looks like now and yep - definitely still would.

Childhood would be Prince. Teenage years would be Robert Smith. I fancy neither of them now I'm older.

Whahaha Neil Morrisey and I still like him lol

Paul McCartney, Roger Daltrey, Sidney Poitier, Jim Lea (Slade), Paul Michael Glaser from Starsky and Hutch.
The only one (alive) I still fancy is Roger Daltry, but I loved Sidney until the day he died, gorgeous looking, fantastic actor and a real class act.

Mine was also Leo! Loved him in Romeo and Juliet genuinely thought I’d marry him hahahah!

Nick Carter from backstreet boys.

Definitely still would!

He's got better with age and seems like such a nice guy!

Mine was Jack Ryder and he's still quite a piece of eye candy 😂

Mark Paul Gosselar - yes defo still fancy him

Yes and no

Joshua Jackson from Mighty Ducks days and maybe even hotter now

JTT Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Home Improvement days and now not so much and I think fame has made him unhappy

I adored George Best but was so disappointed hearing his voice when he was in a quiz on the telly.
Dunno why, as I love a Belfast and a Manc accent though probably not combined.
Hit the jackpot though in 1968 when I met and totally fell for my Georgie look a like with a strong W. Mids. accent just like mine. He didn't play soccer so no big bucks but also no evening/weekends etc spent practising, just lots of time for 'courting'.
We celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary in July and he still has a bit of the Georgie look about him but slightly more grey and chunkier.
