Do you wish you had ended up with your heart throb from when you were 12?

[Snog]

Mine was Sting. The tantric sex sounds alright tbh.

River Phoenix's widow
He'd have died when I was 19.

Eric Stoltz (I was a huge Memphis Belle fan) and yes, he's still very handsome

And Robert Smith of The Cure

Leonardo DiCaprio. I'd definitely be too old for him now given he only dates 21yo models rather than mum's in their late 30s.

Tom cruise. Dodged a bullet there.

Fuck no!! It was Michael Jackson!!!

There's still chance for me with Harrison Ford though... if Calista shoves off...

No. I didn't have a 'heart throb' in any meaningful way when I was 12.

I read Jackie magazine and put up posters of pop stars that I thought were harmless and lovely. Sadly most of them turned out not to be.

Fucking hard yes.

Johnny from cobra Kai

Mine was Gary Glitter so probably not.

Nick Rhodes. Mainly because my cousins had already baggsied Simon and John, and as the youngest I was forced to accept Nick as my imaginary boyfriend. I assume he sensed my indifference which is why he never came to midlands Ireland to claim me

@nancybotwinbloom

Fucking hard yes.

Johnny from cobra Kai

You could see what the rest of us couldn’t nancy

Indeed. And the guy I actually fancied at the boys’ school next door to mine — we walked up to make our confirmation together — is now in prison for armed robbery.

David Boreanaz?

Yes, a quick Google shows me he is aging very well! 🧐

Orlando Bloom. He's kept himself or of controversy and still looks decent (better if anything), so wouldn't be too bad. I'd rather not be married to anyone in the public eye though, really.

My other one was Olivia Wilde. Life would have been a bit different of I'd ever up with a female partner rather than the male one I have. Not sure what she's up to these days.

@AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings Gary Barlow for me too, and Viggo Mortensen, and Freddie Ljunberg.

Still take all 3 please

Christian Slater. And yes I still would. (but not during his drug/alcohol phase, think he seems a decent person now he’s clean but he wasn’t for a while).

Nick Carter.

I still love him hard.

David Cassidy. No.

@RichPetunia

Mine was Gary Glitter so probably not.

This made me laugh out loud!!!

Bizarrely, DH and I now know my heartthrob from when I was 12, after DH worked with him a couple of years ago. It's really weird. I get to talk to him on the phone and always blush like crazy. He's a lovely chap, but would I? Not now, sorry. He seems to worry a lot and that's not my style.

Michael J Fox. I was devastated when I reached 5'4 and realised I would likely be taller than him. He seems lovely but I think we are both happier with the choices we've made!

Morten Harket. Yes and no. 😁🥱

I roared at Gary Glitter post also

Let me see - I think it was Keanu at 12 probably. Point Break was watched a lot in my house! So yes please he’s lovely.

I also liked Johnny Depp and River Phoenix but neither of those would have worked out

Donny Osmond. He's still VERY easy on the eye!
