Mine was Sting. The tantric sex sounds alright tbh.

Kurt Cobain. Still remember feeling punched in the gut when he announced that ' Courtney Love was the best fuck in the world!' Dear me Grin

Rick Astley? Sure, why not!
School crush? Heck no, no idea why I thought he was so cute!!

Langsdestiny · 12/12/2020 20:38

I was a little odd and had a massive crush on dirty den. I thought our love would overcome the 35 year age gap. So probably for the best.

@AGirlCalledJohnny

He was fit even then!

There was a lad on our school who looked just like him.

Year above me.

I saw him a couple of years back and he's his age now. Same as me.
Middle aged. A bit fat. Lost his hair. Age catches up with everyone but not Johnny from cobra Kai WinkGrin

This lad was in the pub once and I said hi he didn't even remember me. Childhood dreams smashed lol.

Ronan Keating......Cheating scum bag now 🙄

DrDavidBanner · 12/12/2020 20:42

12? Hmm... I think Morten Harket's cheekbones had eclipsed John Taylor's beautiful hair at that stage so yes please Grin

Tiredforfive45 · 12/12/2020 20:44

David Boreanez and Joshua Jackson, as mentioned by PPs. 😍 Both still doing well these days.

Also, I had another that I thought was more realistic and attainable in terms of age and location - Ben from Byker Grove - but it turns out he’s gay so apparently not attainable 🤣

Sunmoonstars77 · 12/12/2020 20:44

Morten Harket what a beautiful man!
Michael Hutchence.
Colin Farrell
Patrick Swayze.
Clive Owen
Loved these five when I was younger!

Girlwhowearsglasses · 12/12/2020 20:44

Michael Hutchence. I stand by that but he would have been impossible IRL. Such a terrible terrible shame. Reckon if he'd have got through he would have aged very well.

Robert Downey JR could so easily have ended up dead in a ditch too, it's so great so see some redemption in the world.

Elbels · 12/12/2020 20:44

Leonardo DiCaprio

Unfortunately now I'm in my early 30s I'm way too old for him.

Dave Grohl was my 15 year old crush and I'm still convinced we'd be very happy together.

Sunmoonstars77 · 12/12/2020 20:44

@MrsWarleggan I used to love Ronan too back in the day !

CreamFirstThenJamOnTop · 12/12/2020 20:45

River Phoenix..... I’d be a heartbroken widow 😭

Thereluctantstepmother · 12/12/2020 20:46

Kurt cobain- bit druggy and dead now but DH looks identical to him AND is tea-total! Win win! Grin

NoProblem123 · 12/12/2020 20:46

Axel Rose Sad

Guylan · 12/12/2020 20:48

Michael Praed who played Robin Hood in a 80’s tv series version of it. No

Andrew Ridgely - no.

Morten Harket - yes!

MrsWarleggan · 12/12/2020 20:49

@Sunmoonstars77

He has actually got better with age. He was presenting The One Show the other day and had a momentary "Corrr" towards the TV. Just never ever ever had him down as a cheater though 🙄

BigBadVoodooHat · 12/12/2020 20:49

@Dita73

Fuck no!! It was Michael Jackson!!!
Ha! Me too! BlushSad

Picture then!
Legalhelp · 12/12/2020 20:49

Jordan from New kids on the block-I think he’s still pretty fit?

Morton Harket from when I was around 8-first proper crush-still gorgeous-those cheekbones

OppsUpsSide · 12/12/2020 20:52

Sean Bean - yes yes yes!!

OneMoreForExtra · 12/12/2020 21:00

Mark Hamil when I was 12.

I saw Star Wars 11 times when you actually had to pay actual money in an actual cinema each time you wanted to watch it.

Frankly, I still would

Becca8675309 · 12/12/2020 21:02

Oh, Micheal Hutchence. So beautiful.

ScubaSteven · 12/12/2020 21:03

Jon Bon Jovi - yes, without question!

Axel Rose - not so much Confused

VienneseWhirligig · 12/12/2020 21:03

Jason Donovan - seems like a nice chap now he's on the wagon so it could be a goer.

I seem to like the future junkies - my 14 year old self was going to marry Marti Pellow. I still would - I'm available now Marti if you're up for it?
