Blush except for Clint Eastwood!

My first proper crush was Ivan Lendl, the tennis player. Absolutely no idea why. I was eight, or something.

David Seaman when playing for Arsenal Blush

Jimmy Osmond - I was 10! I'm now 46.

Not Morten Harket from A-Ha, but the much overlooked Mags from A-Ha. He was just gorgeous!

Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. I still fancy the arse off him. Grin

prettypurpledaisy · 28/05/2011 22:03

Bruno Martelli from "Fame" Blush

ReindeerBollocks · 28/05/2011 22:20

Justin Taylor Thomas.

For those who don't know, he was the boy voice for Simba in The Lion King Blush

Philip Schofield (in his Going Live days), oh the shame! Moved onto Robbie Williams pretty quickly though, who I still wouldn't say no to.

LadyBeagleEyes · 28/05/2011 22:22

I'm really old. It was Illya Kuryakin in the Man from Uncle when I was very young.
It was then Starsky when I was a bit older (my twin sister liked Hutch).

BagpussDearBagpuss · 28/05/2011 22:24

Jim Dale here too! Also John Taylor from Duran Duran - when I was 12 I was convinced that I'd marry him when I grew up.

Illya Kuryakin is now Dr Mallard in NCIS, and still lovely.

Richard Chamberlain as Father Ralph de Bricassart in The Thorn Birds

Doyle in The Professionals

Bagpuss I too was betrothed (in my teenage mind) to John Taylor and was gutted when he took up with that skank

My fave was Russell in Butterflies. It is most upsetting that he is now a transvestite in Coronation Street Shock

DoubleNegativePanda · 28/05/2011 22:47

River Phoenix. Fell in live with him in Stand By Me and never got over him. I was heartbroken when he died. I still find it tragic.

kerstina · 28/05/2011 23:04

I was reminded of this today as watched as DP was watching a film with Yul Brinner in. Not quite sure why I liked him so much as he has no hair and I was only a child !

animula · 28/05/2011 23:09

LadyBeagleEyes - I loved Ilya too.

I think I have to mention Leif Garrett, though. I sneaked him onto a thread the other night, but I'm wondering if anyone else remembers him?

Having had my memory jogged, I also went off and googled and ... eek! he was so young! It was kind of strange looking at his photos!
