Nick Heyward from Haircut 100. I loved him so much.

TheRealShatParp · 23/07/2019 16:01

Mine was Taylor Hanson too (not the other brothers though).
I also had a crush on Brad Pitt and River Phoenix (although he had already died at the point of my crush).

Matt Goss. He is beautiful.

John Travolta, when I was about 7 or 8 I adored him.
Then went to see Star Wars, Harrison Ford came along and knocked John Travolta off his pedestal.
Now 48 and still a massive fan. 😃

Very first stirrings were for John Taylor, Duran Duran. I had a poster of him up on my wall and i'd gaze at it. I felt he was beautiful, but was too young to have any clue what i would have done with him even if he was served up on a plate Grin

icelollycraving · 23/07/2019 16:04

My first was Dave Bartram from Showaddywaddy when I was teeny Grin
Then Boy George, Simon le Bon and on to Michael J Fox and Rick Astley. Quite a mixed bag!!

Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran. Never got the John Taylor thing, though he's aged well, I'll give him that.

GruciusMalfoy · 23/07/2019 16:06

I adored Stephen Gateley, I thought he was gorgeous.

SilverySurfer · 23/07/2019 16:06

Mine goes a bit further back - Adam Faith - my bedroom walls were plastered with posters back in the late 1950's/60s.

When I was 5 I wanted to marry Captain James T Kirk 🙈

StVincent · 23/07/2019 16:07

Jarvis Cocker, I loved the way he danced with his long gangly legs, and the way he took the piss out of everyone.

RedSheep73 · 23/07/2019 16:07

Michael Praed (Robin of Sherwood). He was so gorgeous and now he looks like Cliff Richard!
