Mine was Sting. The tantric sex sounds alright tbh.

I didn't have one when I was 12.

Oh my Christ. I was just talking to my mum about this thread and she reminded me of my real life crush. Antonio, who was 2 days younger than me and who I thought was sex on a stick. She was looking through old photos the other day for some reason and found one I had taken surreptitiously of Antonio's arse. The mortification! He had turned into an arrogant City wanker so I am glad he never returned my adoration Grin

Trevor Eve (I was a shoestring fan) the massive age gap then 12/28 doesn’t seem so bad now 53/69 and he still looks good. But on those arseholes or nice threads on here from time to time - several people have said he is an arse, probably still would though. Might have to call him Eddie instead of Trevor, the name is a bit of a turn off tbh.

I didn't have school girl crushes but I was into Adam Ant music ,Toyah Willcox Nik Kershaw
.I think I was a bit too geeky or nerdy to have crushes like that.😀

Its only recently since I got shot of shit so called friend/partner..
And got into YouTube that I have started to have crushes on musicians l.o.l such as Iggy Pop l am passenger rock song
and on the Beatles watching their concerts back in the day etc.
Its fun and I was teenager in 1980s

Taylor Hanson!

Still gorgeous but no way am I having 7 kids for a pretty face Grin

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 13/12/2020 08:52

Oh yes Spike! And Angel. But I was much older than 12 at that point...

MichelleScarn · 13/12/2020 10:21

Oh yes to William/Billy Zabka! (Johnny was the true karate kid!)
And Nick Carter! (Am in between Nick and Aaron in age, and feel I chose wisely, Aaron is not doing well having just googled)

Theromanempire · 13/12/2020 14:16

I agree with Billy Zabka...however that is a recent crush, not one I had as a 12 year old Grin when I was 12, it was definitely all about Ralph Macchio but he has not aged very well whereas Billy Zabka is HOT!!

alltoomuchrightnow · 15/12/2020 00:23

StillMedusa, I'm 49.. and my friend's dad was script writer for R Steele! All so exciting!
Also as a teen I MET PB...he was as charming and gorgeous as you'd imagine... and gave me a kiss..swoon...and he smelt AMAZING. I 'd got up about 5am to go up to the Tv Am studios (now that's showing my age!) as knew he was on that day. Anyway I got lucky, at least meeting wise!

WouldstrokeTomHardy · 15/12/2020 00:26

Matt Dillon. Nah

violetbunny · 15/12/2020 00:50

Macgyver. Yes, because it turns out I'm shit at DIY 😂

SoWhatNo · 15/12/2020 00:56

John Taylor.

He's aged well and apparently is very good at the sex. So yeah, absolutely.

DonkeyMcFluff · 15/12/2020 01:03

I was madly in love with River Phoenix. He is still the most beautiful human being who ever existed.

Also Rider Strong (still would) and Jonathan Brandis (sadly killed himself aged 27).

Snog · 16/12/2020 14:23

Also fancied Nick Heyward - he has deffo aged well.

My Uni Boyf looked like him complete with the glasses, quiff and Aran jumper.

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

AlwaysLatte · 16/12/2020 14:24

God no, he ended up preferring men in public loos!

porcelaine · 16/12/2020 14:34

Stone or Eddie from pearl jam.. I probably still would even though they no longer have amazing long hair or the grunge look! (also are >20 years older than me)

PollyDarton1 · 16/12/2020 14:38

@OneMoreForExtra

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

Same, same!
awwkkwwaard · 16/12/2020 14:42

@katy1213

David Cassidy's widow? Nooo - he didn't age well!
I would - he aged better than me, but the drugs and alcohol, not really. Mind you I'd be a rich widow now...
MarieIVanArkleStinks · 16/12/2020 14:48

Rik Mayall and Patrick Swayze. I'd have shit out on both accounts there!

Another +1 for Dave Gahan. Goodness me those lyrics, he sounds absolutely filthy. Grin And it's a miracle he's still alive, too.

Andrew Eldritch. Now bald as a coot but still has a certain something.

Chris Packham. Hell, yeah Wink

romany4 · 16/12/2020 15:36

Queens Roger Taylor.

My lust for him hasn't changed. I still adore him

aurynne · 16/12/2020 16:12

A bit older than 12, but I was madly in love with Fox Mulder from the X-Files. David Duchovny is still quite sexy, but I was sorely disappointed when I heard his real voice... the Spanish dubbed voice was so much sexier!

Bearnecessity · 16/12/2020 16:16

Morten Harket from Aha....still cute now I believe.....but god no..

Scarby9 · 16/12/2020 16:22

At 13 I was midway between Dick van Dyke (Mary Poppins) and David Soul (Starsky and Hutch).
Lucky escape, I think.

Ha! Mine was Zac Hanson Grin
