Tell me your first celebrity crush

[Catsandcannedbeans]

Mine was Richard Hammond. I walked in the living room at my nans when I was about 5 and he was on the screen with a seashell necklace on. I audibly said “wow” and my brother to this day makes fun of me for it relentlessly. My husband genuinely despises Richard Hammond which is pretty funny, he sees him as competition.

Also I used to really really like the Scottish engines from Thomas the Tank Donald and Douglas I think.

That’s my mum’s first crush too. Love knows no bounds and it doesn’t matter that he’s a puppet I guess.

Yes as mentioned in the first line!

Marc Bolan. I read The Hobbit because it was a favourite of his and then went on to Lord of the Rings.
As a young girl he wasn’t too masculine and full of testosterone so seemed safe to me.

Davy Jones from the Monkees.

Morten Harket, I was about 8.

Donny Osmond

oooh Scott was lovely. Virgil had a bit more of a glint about him though

I usually win these threads: Kenneth Williams.

I was 5, with no idea that the 40-year age gap was the least of my worries😭

(Skinny pointy-faced neurovores with a facility for language is still my type)

Absolutely not! He was gorgeous! Especially in his Dandy Highwayman incarnation 😋

To my shame Philip Schofield

Still in his prime

I had innocent crushes on David Soul in Starsky and Hutch and then Adam Ant.

My first distracting crush which was probably a classic "I fancy" situation was Murdock in The A Team.
Looking back this is clearly a rational choice. He's tall, he punches bad guys effectively and can fly a helicopter. The fact that he had PTSD from the Vietnam War and lived in a hospital were minor issues.

Woody from the Bay City Rollers and then Hutch from Starsky and Hutch.

As an adult I have a hankering for Gru and Clarkson.

I was coming on to say this word for word. We had good taste, I think. Absolute god of a human being! 😍

Ally McCoist and Rick Astley were my two earliest. A few years later it was Tony Robinson. I don’t think I really have a typical type. 🤣

John Travolta in "Grease", saw it at the pictures when I was eight.

I see I have competition for Jason Donovan, my first human crush. Before him Dogtanian and the fox Robin Hood.
Why the Tories thought section 28 was necessary to stop us all catching gay, when we were all into sexy puppets and cartoons!

The guy who played Sully in Dr Quinn, medicine woman!

Donny Osmond. I luffed him!

Adam Ant for me and also the lead singer of Showaddywaddy 😂

Mr Spock in the 60s StarTrek series.

Oh, Batman as well in the 60s series, not sure if Spock or Batman came first.

The actor who played Miss Honey in Matilda…

Never had one! What does that say about me?

Michael Schumacher 💔 I was OBSESSED. (I am half German and I think that combined with him winning all the time had something to do with it 😂)

When he walked into the hanger on Top Gear dressed as The Stig, I yelled ‘THAT’S MICHAEL SCHUMACHER!’ And none of my Ex-BFs family believed me until he took the helmet off 😂

OMG, yes! Had forgotten (how?) about him but you've brought it all back. I must have been about 9 or 10.
