Donny Osmond and David Cassidy. Followed by David Soul.

I think quite a few of us are of the same generation!

Adam Ant.
Followed by Nick Rhodes.

Ah, I went Adam Ant -> John Taylor, but similar evolution 😁

I genuinely thought I was going to marry Rick Astley, I must of only been about 6 or 7. Quickly moved on to Jason Donovan, so I was a fickle girl even at that age 😂

ConnieHeart · 04/04/2026 18:16

George Michael when he was in Wham! But I definitely also had a girl crush on Madonna. She was quite possibly the coolest, most exquisite looking woman I'd ever seen in my life (I was about 12)

Crushed23 · 04/04/2026 18:19

Nicky from Westlife.

Flatinbed · 04/04/2026 18:19

Mags from A-ha (my best mate fancied Morten, so I had to have the next best! Although saying that Mags is still pretty good looking for a man of his age).

Also Jason donovan. Not sure of the time order.

Adam Ant. Or possibly Nick Heyward from Haircut 100. I had eclectic taste even at 10.

Adam Ant for me too!!

I’m SO glad I’m not the only one!

I know of a third (not me, but a good friend from school 😅)

verabarbleen · 04/04/2026 18:23

John Conner from terminator 2 😂

Kylie Minogue when I was about 4 or 5. My parents assumed it was Jason Donovan and teased me mercilessly about it.
