David Soul

Oh absolutely. I remember looking at him on Top of the Pops (I was 7 or 8) and thinking he had the most beautiful face I had ever seen!

The Goblin King awoke something in 9yo me 😳

My first serious crush was on Marty Kristian of The New Seekers. He really was gorgeous.

I'm in a different world. Dirk Bogarde in the Doctor in the House films (they kept things quiet). Hardy Kruger in Bachelor of Hearts and The One that Got Away.

Davy Jones of The Monkees.

He was my second crush after Elvis. I was around 11 and loads of us at school were mad on the Monkees.

Jackie magazine was like gold at school whenever they were featured. You had to be pretty fast to the newsagents to get a copy. 😄

John Leyton from the 50s

Ronan Keating from Boyzone was my first massive crush. My bedroom was literally wallpapered with posters I’d pulled out Smash Hits magazine. Pretty sure I used to kiss one of them every night. God! I’m cringing thinking back to it. I was such a sap!! 😂 I did have a long list of crushes though. I remember writing out a ‘top 50’ in my diary at about 13. I wish I still had that diary!! There were a lot of soap actors. Anyone remember Dan Falzon from Neighbours?! He was a hottie. Now I have an equally boy mad preteen. She loves 90s boys. I can’t world out if she has good taste or if I should be concerned that she’s crushing on boys who are now older than her own father!

My dd1's first crush when she was about 11 was Joey Essex. I like to remind her of that 🤣

Leonardo DiCaprio. I was a loyal devotee for most of my teenage years.

bifurCAT · 19/01/2025 18:36

Snowmanscarf · 19/01/2025 18:40

Anyone else googling these crushes you’ve just not heard of before?

YoghurtPotWashingMachine · 19/01/2025 18:41

@MissDollyMix Was Dan Falzon Rick Alessi?

Leonardo DiCaprio. I was a loyal devotee for most of my teenage years.

The perfect age for him too!

When I was very little I was obsessed with terminator 2 and John Connor 😂 so my very first crush was Edward furlong. I was about 8 and then I saw titanic and loved leo for a long time . I'm 37 now so far to old for Leo 😂

I would love to say it was David Bowie but sadly it was Woody from the Bay City Rollers.

Lol
peter noone was my first, then Donny (I must have had a thing about teeth)
but I loved Woody

Pete Duel was beautiful

WombatChocolate · 19/01/2025 18:56

I loved Brian Jacks on Superstars, which was a sports challenge programme lots of top UK sports personalities competed in. He was a Judo player and I was about 7 and it was the first time I felt a flutter. Looking at pics of him now, I don’t know why.

Later I loved (and I knew it was true love) Rob Lowe and George Michael and later still Andre Agassi the tennis player. Makes me laugh now, but I always imagined meeting them and them sweeping me off my feet!

Morten Harket from A-HA
