To think young Kevin Costner is NOT a weird crush!

Making the DC watch Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Made the mistake of telling them that I had a crush on Kevin Costner when it came out. Tween DD is absolutely aghast and relentlessly mocking me.
I said to DH that it’s refreshing to see a leading man with uneven, slightly yellow teeth and bad hair!
AIBU to think that Kevin Costner was HOT back in the day?!

He was gorgeous in No Way Out in that navy uniform

Nah sorry

He was a leading man in an awful lot of films in the early 90s - he and Susan Sarandon were sexy as anything in Bull Durham, and then he and Renée Russo in Tin Cup.

Nothing wrong with having a crush on Costner, millons of others did.

One of those men who's always looked old.

That's it! Thats what it is!

Oblomov25 · 31/12/2024 21:12

Very good looking man.

lifebyfaith · 31/12/2024 21:12

I liked him back then too.

NotThisYearThx · 31/12/2024 21:13

I still like him now, currently watching Yellowstone and he’s the only cowboy for me!

He was like 34 in Field of Dreams but looked about 50. It's strange it's only the past couple of decades men look a lot younger despite aging.

Steve Martin was another one. Born old.

TempestTost · 31/12/2024 21:13

Not my type but yes he was considered romantic lead material in some pretty big films. Lots of women thought he was hot.

YouLookinSusBro · 31/12/2024 21:14

Didn't do it for me but definitely not weird!

Snorlaxo · 31/12/2024 21:21

A very common choice of crush back then.

DontshootmyRaptors · 31/12/2024 21:24

I don’t find him sexy at all. Too boring.

i absolutely loved that film, loved him in it. such a hottie.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 31/12/2024 21:25

He was very dishy in The Bodyguard

ViolinsPlayGentlyOn · 31/12/2024 21:26

I was too distracted by his accent in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to notice if he was good-looking or not

unrsnblyannoyd · 31/12/2024 21:27

I would very happily share a forest waterfall with him even in recent times much less his younger PoT days

I've been to that waterfall and it's absolutely bloody freezing!!!

ueberlin2030 · 31/12/2024 21:30

I always enjoyed watching him, when both he and I were younger. 🤩

Birdscratch · 31/12/2024 21:30

My sister liked him, back in the day, and I mocked her for it then. Sorry.

Snowmanscarf · 31/12/2024 21:31

Yes, he was a crush back in the day.

Birdscratch · 31/12/2024 21:33

Also, Alan Rickman owns that film. YABU to even notice Kevin Costner.

NasiDagang · 31/12/2024 21:42

He was ugly.

I'm devastated he's not in the latest series. He's gorgeous. I've got a full on crush on John Dutton.

My DH said this earlier! We were considering watching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
