Paul Nicholls in eastenders!

Badwifey · 23/07/2019 17:35

Jamie Redknapp... still absolutely love him. He is a man who just gets better looking with age Grin

Withnailandaye · 23/07/2019 17:35

Oh! And the young lad with the long brown hair from 3rd rock from the sun.

(We were around the same age at the time so not creepy Grin)

There's a pattern with all this long hair 🤔

OhMsBeliever · 23/07/2019 17:36

Sean Astin when he was in the Goonies. I still think he's gorgeous actually.

Phillip Schofield when he was in the broom cupboard. I don't like him anymore. (Sorry Phil!Grinsure you're gutted!)

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 23/07/2019 17:36

Marti Pellow
Noel Whelan (footballer)

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 17:40

Rik Mayall. I had a poster of him standing outside the Sociology Department doing a victory sign.

My friends all said I was bonkers (they all had crushes on George Michael, Simon le Bon and that Norwegian bloke). But far into adulthood I had a LOT more contemporaries agreeing with me!

Nothing sexier than a handsome, intelligent guy with a great sense of humour who doesn't give a flying one how silly he makes himself look :)

Laiste · 23/07/2019 17:41

Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black.

Divine.

TheOnlySnot · 23/07/2019 17:42

Mine was Elvis Presley.
I used to watch his films with my gran, and I loved him.
I thought he was alive, and I told my gran that when I grew up I would marry him. (She didn’t have the heart to tell me that the love of my life and future husband was dead)

When I found out he had passed away, I was absolutely devastated. I went through a proper grieving process.

I’m only 31 🙈

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 17:43

Anthony Hopkins has the sexiest speaking voice I've ever heard in my life. Seconded by Timothy Dalton (what is it about the Welsh)?

I had a girl-crush on Nigella Lawson.

Oh, and as for the PP who said Freddie Krueger, ha ha! I get that, I really do. The actor who plays him, Robert Englund, has a cult following and actually comes over as a really nice guy. And there's something about the way he moves, and those quips .... (gives head a shake).

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 17:43

Oh - and David Bowie. But of course!

SimonJT · 23/07/2019 17:48

From the ages of about 7-9 alladin (which is odd as I don’t fancy real asian men, just cartoon ones). Then I discovered Atreyu (neverending story) until the age of about 12 when I discovered Justin Timberlake.

Mumsymumphy · 23/07/2019 17:49

Paul Young.

I was in his fan club back in the days when you had to write to an address to join and they sent you photos and badges.

He replied to a tweet of mine recently and I was deliriously chuffed. My 11-year old self was thinking 'He knows I exist!' ☺️ 🤣

cheeseislife8 · 23/07/2019 17:50

David Bowie! He's also improved with age

huntinghighandlow · 23/07/2019 17:50

Ah the Norwegian bloke - Morten Harket ❤️ I used to love Sting when I was little in the late 70's, my mum said I used to go bright red and hide behind things when he was on TOTP!

BonnesVacances · 23/07/2019 17:52

David Hasselhoff, when he was in Knight Rider. Then when I was old enough to know better, Jason Donovan.

SarahSinclair · 23/07/2019 17:53

When I was about 11/12, Patrick Swayze.

SarahSinclair · 23/07/2019 17:55

Oh yes and as a PP said, Dieter Brummer!!!
