Donny Osmond, he's still gorgeous

ScratchyMap · 24/07/2019 20:35

I came on to say Hanson too. As a kid, I was the only one I knew who fancied them. I even remember talking to another girl in the park- a complete stranger- and not even she liked them. I was desperate to find another fan. 20 years on, I’ve finally found you all Grin

BettyCrockaShit · 24/07/2019 20:42

Apparently I expressed an 'interest' in Martin Clunes when I was about 10. Nothing's changed TBF!

It still hasn't really gone away.

Jenniferturkington · 24/07/2019 20:50

Ooh and Sean maguire. And a quick google has confirmed I still would!

Nautiloid · 24/07/2019 21:22

Keanu Reeves. I still always know how old he is because I worked out that when I got to be 18, he would be 36 so we could definitely get married. I thought about that a lot.

@ScratchyMap

Youve definitely found us 🤣 I spent all of my baby’s 2 hour nap time yesterday watching Hanson on YouTube 🤣

Fireandflames666 · 25/07/2019 07:27

Chester Bennington, Keanu Reeves and Dave Grohl. They all had/have amazing personalities.

Leonardo DiCaprio
David Boreanaz

Bit of an odd collection really. Not as odd as you Hanson-loving lot though Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/07/2019 09:30

@TillyTheTiger totally agree on Viggo. In most things, meh, but as Aragorn? Swooooon...

CassianAndor · 25/07/2019 11:08

Queen with you in Aragorn but remember when we all had to rewrite our LOTR top tottie lists when The Hobbit came out? Thorin Oakenshield, yes please. Though Richard Armitage is always hot.
