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?!

Oh my. Robin Hood. Dances with Wolves. The Bodyguard. No Way Out. Field of Dreams. I had a HUGE ENORMOUS crush. Going to have a look at Netflix to see if I still do. 🥰🥰🥰

I couldn’t believe my mate fancied him.
Deffo viewed him as a “dad type” here!

The Bodyguard!

I went to see Robin Hood prince of thieves with my older, cooler cousin and her friends. They were all lusting after Christian Slater. I kept my love for Kevin Costner to myself.

He was gorgeous in No Way Out in that navy uniform

Had totally forgotten about this. Thanks for the reminder!

I think he is very handsome. Loved him in Message In A Bottle most of all

BiggerBoat1 · 01/01/2025 00:12

Gorgeous then. Gorgeous now. Not a weird crush at all!

LushLemonTart · 01/01/2025 00:18

Still would

Agreed!

Newshed67 · 01/01/2025 00:22

Oh god no, you have great taste, he was absolutely gorgeous

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2025 00:25

He was lovely in the ' body guard'
Really fanciable

WinWhenTheyreSinging · 01/01/2025 00:27

Still hot now, love a bit of John Dutton 😢

DollopOfFun · 01/01/2025 00:28

Yes he fits in that old young guy group. Like Harrison Ford. Okay he looked young in Star Wars, but then became Hot Dad in everything else. Hubba hubba.

It is not weird to be attracted to an obviously attractive man.

DarkForces · 01/01/2025 00:35

There's a lot weirder crushes from that era. Prince of Thieves was iconic at the time

Budgiegirlbob · 01/01/2025 00:36

YANBU at all ! I thought he was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen when I was a teenager- I had a huge Bull Durham poster on my wall. I was never into ‘pretty boys’

I was 16… went to cinemas 3 times to see it… and loved ‘Everything I do’ song!

RedHelenB · 01/01/2025 00:48

He's got the sort of capable in a crisis attractiveness about him, definitely not a pretty boy.

EatTheBastard · 01/01/2025 00:49

my Kevin crush has lasted right from when I saw The Untouchables - he was and is bloody gorgeous

What about the film with Madeline Stowe - Revenge? He was the bees knees in that as well.
Love him.
