Mine was Sting. The tantric sex sounds alright tbh.

I think when I was 12 it was probably Les Mckeown from the Bay City Rollers. I think I dodged a bullet!

hansgrueber · 16/12/2020 16:34

Rudolf Nureyev so No, think that would have been a non-starter!

Graciebobcat · 16/12/2020 16:35

Good god no. Philip Schofield, the self-obsessed bell-end. I went off him after he left the Broom Cupboard anyway.

@LuckyNumberThirteen

Nick Carter.

I still love him hard.

Mine was Aaron Carter, we could have been sister-in-laws 😂. I’ve no idea what he’s like now, looks wise or personality so I don’t know.

@ViciousJackdaw

John Barnes. Ooh, he was bloody lovely back in the day. Let's just say he's not quite so athletic looking these days.
But are any of us as good as we were???

@Harrietsferrets

If mine was still alive then - yes Can loose hours watching him on youtube Rudolph Nureyev
A lady after my own heart and of the same period, thank god, this thread makes me realise just how young most people on here are!
LadyCatStark · 16/12/2020 16:42

Ok so a quick Google on Aaron Carter shows a yes looks wise and a definite run for the hills on personality...

Bluntness100 · 16/12/2020 16:47

Hmm,..roger Taylor from Duran Duran and Paul young...not sure...😂

MockneyReject · 16/12/2020 16:47

William Andrew Philip Bodie? Sure.
Lady Di? Not so much.

MockneyReject · 16/12/2020 16:49

Also, yes to William Zabka. Ralph Macchio - step aside!

ancientgran · 16/12/2020 16:51

I married my heart throb from when I was 13 if that counts. Two children later we got divorced. It wasn't a good idea.

biddybird · 16/12/2020 17:18

@Twinkie01 Do tell more!

Soundbyte · 16/12/2020 17:28

No. In the years we would have been married he ate too many jacket potatoes and ran himself over with own car. Disappointing to say the least.

Josette77 · 16/12/2020 17:34

Currently dating my 17 yo heartthrob. So far he's exceeded my teenage dreams. Glad I met him now though and not twenty years ago.

Avelandra · 16/12/2020 17:41

I did but mine isn’t famousGrin I really really really fancied my brothers friend from school. He was older than me, the most popular guy in school and so attractive. 10 years later we are engagedGrin

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 16/12/2020 17:48

David Duchovny. I wouldn’t now - the sex addiction thing put me off.

Oh, and Dean Caine from The New Adventures of Superman.

CorpusCallosum · 16/12/2020 18:04

Damon Albarn - for def

Gas Coombs - if he lost the silly hats 😂

beepbeepaleep · 16/12/2020 18:14

Any member of take that... Still would 😁

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 16/12/2020 18:15

Anyone else functionally asexual when they were 12?

I was, but the talk about boys and boyfriends was either my (a) chloroform or (b) beserk button.

Coldilox · 16/12/2020 18:16

Well my secret crush at 12 was Jodie Foster, even though I couldn’t tell anyone.

I wouldn’t say no!

CorianderQueen · 16/12/2020 18:28

All the people I fancied were cartoons...

Jim Hawkins (Treasure Planet)
Meg (Hercules)
Hercules (Hercules)
Jessica Rabbit

I never got the fancying real people thing until I was about 14.

But, no - I don't wish I'd got together with them. I feel like they had such dramatic lives (and I'm scared of space and monsters)

GaraMedouar · 16/12/2020 18:37

Scott Baio for me - I had a little picture of him I carried in my school notebook Grin

Also Erik Estrada (I think that’s his name - the dark one from CHIPS), and also the dark one from the Dukes of Hazzard - I don’t know his name. I always preferred the dark haired guy to the blond one in a ‘partnership’.

Mammyloveswine · 16/12/2020 18:37

Ronald keating.. yup still would...

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 16/12/2020 18:38

BigBadVoodooHat · 16/12/2020 18:59
