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😂)

I never got the Keanu love, not then and most definitely not now.

Carouselfish · 09/01/2018 00:23

Jeff Goldblum at 12. Still would.

AcrossthePond55 · 09/01/2018 00:28

Giving away my age but.....Jim Morrison. The first 'crush' that I had that actually involved, ahem, sexual longings.

Obviously, I wouldn't be interested in jumping into anything with him now as he's dead.

1980 me: Suzi Quatro
2018 me: hell yeah!

Carouselfish · 09/01/2018 00:32

Oh and as pp said, Timothy Dalton. Young him in Jane Eyre makes the Welsh accent the sexiest thing ever.
No, nope.

Carouselfish · 09/01/2018 00:32

Am I the only non straight woman on this thread? Xmas Shock

ShortbreadBiscuits · 09/01/2018 00:36

Mickey Rourke 1987 in Angel Heart yes please
Mickey Rourke 2018, no way!

Rob Lowe yes then and yes now!

Cuddlesandcannulas · 09/01/2018 00:39

First crush was Will Wheaton as Wesley Crusher in Star Trek TNG. I wouldn't now. While a smart guy still sets my pants on fire, he seems a bit smug and that puts me off.

Jeff Goldblum in Earth Girls are Easy. Probably still would.
Gabriel Byrne in The Assassin. I wouldn't now.
Another one for Keanu then and now. I was late to the party on Keanu as I didn't understand what all the fuss was about until Speed came out. HELLO KEANU.

Mark Owen. Urgh. Cheating weasels do nothing for me.
Robbie Williams. Again, it's the smugness that repels.

My first TV love was Peter Strauss when I was about 11 I and 46 now and I still would!! Grin

MerryInthechelseahotel · 09/01/2018 00:45

Bet not many of you would know who he is! I decided I would have a relationship with his son as he was too old!

NauticalDisaster · 09/01/2018 00:46

I am big with the Keanu love, he's a yes from me too.

NotTheQueen · 09/01/2018 00:59

Harry Connick Jnr - yes please!
Ronan Keating - thankfully he’s the less annoying lead singer of an Irish band, so that’s a yes.
Coby Bell (Third Watch) - still a yes... and for ladies who don’t know who I’m talking about, let me introduce you www.jessicasimien.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/coby-bell-jason-pitts.jpg

I also had a thing for much of the All Blacks team, many of whom of have aged very well Grin

Never saw the appeal of Keanu, Brad, Tom, Christian Slater etc, but Johnny was cute in 21 Jump Street. The drug and drink addled depp less so!

Jux · 09/01/2018 01:00

early 1970s: Kevin Bacon. Still would.

I’d also sign up for most of the L Word cast back then especially Katherine Moennig but now probably only Sarah Shahi. I bat permanently for the straight side though

maybetomorrow4 · 09/01/2018 01:05

No chance.....it was Prince Charles!

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 09/01/2018 01:09

Mines too weird and identifying to say, since I'm literally the only person on the planet who would, then and now.

But also Keanu. I didn't fancy him then, but do now. He has that otherworldly quality that Bowie did. Who I also fancied (Labyrinth has a lot to answer for).

Aaaannd Christopher Walken. And he's about 90 but yeah, still got it.

maybetomorrow4 · 09/01/2018 01:22

No! .......The bald one from the crystal maize!

burblish · 09/01/2018 01:33

Oooh, how I could forget about Gabriel Byrne, John Taylor and Matt Dillon? Would do ‘em all, then, now, whenever and wherever! (If only...!)

JaneJeffer · 09/01/2018 01:35

Then V Now. He's still a handsome man...

Slash ... absolutely

HappyEverIftar · 09/01/2018 03:10

Cary Elwes - was about 12 when I watched Lady Jane. Yes yes yes.

Still absolutely, totally and utterly would now (more so in fact) gosh he's lovely!

MidniteScribbler · 09/01/2018 03:50

I can't say who my teenage celebrity crush was, because I did end up going out with him in my early twenties. Still would go for him today.

Feodora · 09/01/2018 04:22

Morton Harket - and still looking good at 58 so yes!

I fancied Andrew Ridgely when he was in Wham. I look back now at pictures of Ridgely and George Michael I think GM was way hotter - but slipped me by as a teenager in the 1980's.
