Mine was Sting. The tantric sex sounds alright tbh.

Simon Le Bon or Nick Heyward?
Not really although SLB has aged well

kyssedbyfyre · 12/12/2020 19:58

Dave Gahan :)

Mine was Marti Pellow. So that's a no. Drug addiction and it's aftermath and the realisation that Wet Wet Wet made terrrible music dulled my enthusiasm somewhat.

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 12/12/2020 20:03

Mine was Jet from Gladiators. She still looked pretty good on Pointless Celebrities last week (and her face didn't look all weird and plastic like a lot of women that age, which is a bonus.)

Tarararara · 12/12/2020 20:04

Balthazar Getty? Yes please!

Nottherealslimshady · 12/12/2020 20:06

The first man I fancied was Simon Baker from the mentalist. Yeah, I still would.

Respectabitch · 12/12/2020 20:07

Leonardo DiCaprio. Hard no.

JustanotherTuesday · 12/12/2020 20:08

Boy George and no thank you Smile
My taste did improve, eventually.

Plonque · 12/12/2020 20:08

Jason orange. Gutted he's disappeared off the scene Sad

Plonque · 12/12/2020 20:09

@Tarararara

Balthazar Getty? Yes please!
Ooh yeah! With you on that one.

I think I’d left behind Matt Goss and was all about Bobby Brown by that age.

I’d say I massively swerved the pair of them Grin.

WaterAndTheWild · 12/12/2020 20:11

Jason Bateman and Michael J Fox - yes, probably.

whichwallywhere · 12/12/2020 20:12

@MonaLisaPiles

Morten Harket

Yes please

Fight! Grin
cheesecrack · 12/12/2020 20:13

Jason Donovan

I kinda like him now so yeah I think we'd have made a nice couple!

AhFiddledeedee · 12/12/2020 20:13

Billy Joe Armstrong. Still would.

ScienceSensibility · 12/12/2020 20:14

David Bowie. Oh yes, he got better with age and I just know it would have been fantastic with him.

Closely followed by Robert Plant. Hasn’t aged quite so well!

userxx · 12/12/2020 20:14

Leonardo DiCaprio. Hard no.

Unless you're 17 🤢

Demitri · 12/12/2020 20:15

Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart. He has not aged well but I still love him!

ArmchairCritics · 12/12/2020 20:16

In a sense, I actually did. Perhaps not 12 as think j was still in to ponies and not boys then, but certainly 14/15 - without being too outing, my DH now is exactly the same ‘type’ looks wise and does the same job as my various teenage crushes. And he’s great thanks very much 😁.

Cocolapew · 12/12/2020 20:17

Debbie Harry, yep still would.

SomelikeitHoth · 12/12/2020 20:17

Drummer from Duran Duran. Brown eyes yum

Duggeehugs82 · 12/12/2020 20:25

I forgot about taylor hanson , he has about 20 children now!

bonbonours · 12/12/2020 20:27

No, I was in love with my music teacher at that age (he was in his 20s). I'm now FB friends with him and while still a nice person he is not at all attractive, very bald.
