I was bloody obsessed with Barry Gibb, Dave from Shawaddywaddy, Alvin Stardust and later Richard Clayderman the wet pianist.
To be fair, I still fancy Barry Blush.

Leonardo DiCaprio (still)

Paul Nicholls

Kurt Cobain

I recently saw a picture of a young Marlon Brando- he was smoking hot in his early days.

You've just reminded me that I missed "Oliver" today. I always watch it for Oliver Reed.

Tom Berenger, Victor Mature, Lee Van Cleef, Robert De Niro, Jeff Conaway (Kenickie Grease), Lorenzo Lamas, Jerome Flynn (Soldier Soldier), Jack Nicholson, Joe Bugner (Boxer), James Coburn, William Devane.

I liked persona, over looks. Plus I was a very strange child.

Pretty-boy pop stars didn’t really do it for me, but I made an exception for John Taylor.

I was more into sportsmen, so Gary Lineker, David Gower, Will Carling & Jeremy Guscott were much more my type.

The elder brother in Butterflies. I watched the repeat in the 90's.
