Inspired by another thread. Which famous person did you have a crush on when you were a teen? And would your modern day self jump into bed with the person they now are? 1991 Me : Axl Rose, 2018 me :absolutely no fucking way! (google pictures to see why😂)

Adam Ant and Paul Young...probably no to both nowadays or maybe not Hmm😂

In my early 20's it was Martin Shaw. I can still dream!

As a teenager it was David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin in the Man from Uncle.) Today - I think he's probably past it!

VelvetSpoon · 08/01/2018 18:25

Teenage me in the late 80s/ early 90s loved Hugh Grant and Daniel Day Lewis. Something about that whole Merchant-Ivory era...

Definitely wouldn't go for either of them now, not because they've aged badly as actually they still look pretty good for guys in their 50s, however my tastes have changed significantly and now are more stocky, rugby player type!

Trialsmum · 08/01/2018 18:29

Paul Rudd- definitely, in fact more so now
Matthew Perry- no, I’d be team Joey now!
Richard Hammond- nope
Mark from Westlife- no idea but he wouldn’t be interested anyway
Billie Jo Armstrong- no

Idris Elba as Luther, I was 15 or 16 when it was on tv and still love him. He just gets more and more appealing.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 08/01/2018 18:39

When I was 15 I also loved Harry Connick Jr. I watched Memphis Belle at least three at the cinema and bought his first album cos i was, like, well into jazz! He’s still bloody gorgeous now! And happily married to a Victoria Secrets model! Envy yes, envy!

AssassinatedBeauty · 08/01/2018 18:42

Luther was only 7 years ago!

Hassled · 08/01/2018 18:45

James Spader then and James Spader now.
The ageing process has been similarly unkind to me, in fairness.

When I was a teen I loved Keanu Reeves, and I think he is still attractive & basically seems like a good bloke.

StylishDuck · 08/01/2018 18:46

@FineSally I am apparently distantly related to David McCallum. He's my grandfather's second cousin once removed or something tenuous like that.

HippyChickMama · 08/01/2018 18:53

Stephen Dorff, definitely still would. He's very underrated on these threads!

lonelymum86 · 08/01/2018 18:54

Mark Owen and no way!! But Gary Barlow I wouldn’t but I would now!

chinam · 08/01/2018 19:00

Keanu, definitely. He is just beautiful. Drool.

suchasoftersin · 08/01/2018 19:01

Elijah Wood! I had about 180 pictures of him on my bedroom wall. I still would...it's the blue eyes!

burblish · 08/01/2018 19:09

Rob Lowe - oh yes, yes, yes!
Goran Ivanisevic - probably not
Lee Sharpe - no way!

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 08/01/2018 19:17

AND Roy Keane! I still fancy the arse of him. Even more now!

Iwanttobe8stoneagain · 08/01/2018 19:17

Oh yes to the PP who said Bruce Dickinson can rock out, intelligent and can fly a big plane, you’d have to say yes. Looks like Keanu is never going to worry about having a dry spell.

CauliflowerBalti · 08/01/2018 19:19

Christian Slater. I absolutely would.

Jakadaal · 08/01/2018 19:22

Sting and definitely still would.

Marti Pellow - not so much now. My friend met him in the late 80s and he was a bit of an arse and he’s a bit cheesy now

TheKop · 08/01/2018 19:22

Then : Tim Henman 😍

Now : 😳 😂 🙈

doctorcuntybollocks · 08/01/2018 19:36

1990's Emo Philips yes
2010s Emo Philips no

phlebasconsidered · 08/01/2018 20:01

Rupert Graves. Anytime.

LittleMyLikesSnuffkin · 08/01/2018 20:05

Leonardo DiCaprio when I was 11/12. And no he doesn’t do it for me anymore. Travis Barker when I was a little older. And yeah I so would now!

wineusuallyhelps · 08/01/2018 20:07

Oh wow - Luther is current! I'm all over Idris! Lovely man.

Back in the day crushes and would I now?

  • Tom Cruise: no
  • Phillip Schofield: no
  • Andre Agassi: no
  • Matt Goss from Bros: no
  • Pierce Brosnan: no
  • Mel Gibson: no
  • Jordan from New Kids on the Block: need to google him, don't know what he's like now!
LordSugarWillSeeYouNow · 08/01/2018 20:07

Jason Donovan when I was 11/12/13 and then moved on to River Phoenix, was heartbroken when he died. I was 15, 1993.

I never got the whole Johnny Depp/Brad Pitt thing at all.
