Urgh, it's so disappointing. I used think Gerard Butler was every kind of phwoarrgh but have finally had to accept that he's an unwashed, bloated smelly looking guy who just isn't what he thinks he is. Arrogance without any kind of respect or charisma is just a flattened pizza with no topping stuck behind the sofa.

Tbf Gerad Butler was damn handsome 😍

Mine was Tom Cruise although I think it was probably Maverick first time round, now I think he looks like a hobgoblin

Brendan Fraser

I still love him I've watched him on things promoting The Whale, he melts my heart.

Corey Haim

I feel terrible now lusting after him when all the time he was (allegedly) being abused and treated appallingly by those around him.

Bit harsh 😳 just saw Plane and he looked fine in it, but then I've never fancied him so haven't paid much attention to his so called decline 🤔

As a late teenager, in the late Sixites, I quite liked David Hemmings. Several years later, yet-to-be Hubby and I were lucky enough to get tickets for the recording of Rick Wakeman's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' for which Hemmings was billed to give the narration. We were way at the back of the auditorium so I was dismayed to see what looked like a fat bullfrog sitting in an Eartha Kitt chair to the side of the orchestra. Imagine my dismay when the bullfrog started to speak and I realised it was David Hemmings!

David Hemmings was gorgeous in his youth.

Ok not an actor but Mark Owen.

mrsDracoMalfoy · 09/02/2023 18:21

Robson Green - had such a crush when I was a teen. Now he gives me the ick.

Josh Hartnett and his bum chin

Christopher Quentin (Brian Tyldesley) Blush

I loved Karl Howman who played Jacko in Brush Strokes. Don't ask me why, I was only about 12.

Thought differently when he popped up again in Eastenders!

One of my old friends said she fancied him as Jacko too, it was the Flash ads that put her off!

ThePoshUns · 09/02/2023 18:32

Lol at Brian Tilsley. That's a blast from the past.
I came on to say Depp, Dicaprio and Rourke.

Pardon44 · 09/02/2023 18:33

I really fancied Richard Madley as a teenager.

Noleafclover1 · 09/02/2023 18:33

Steve John Shepherd as Jo in This Life. Got a terrible shock when he appeared in Eastenders years later - he wasn't very old then but just aged so badly!!

IdaGoodnight · 09/02/2023 18:35

A younger Mick Hucknall

<name changes>

Still have a weakness for a red head.

madeofcodes · 09/02/2023 18:36

Jeffrey Dean Morgan

👌

Orlando Bloom. It was the naked paddle boarding which gave me the ick.

I double checked if it game me the ick.

I used to love Take That as a teenager and still do
Back in the day, Mark was the cutest one that everyone fancied (although I preferred Howard) and Gary was the boring one one who allegedly got the least fanmail. I think Gary has aged the best out of all of them

Pinkywoo · 09/02/2023 18:37

Tom Cruise. Loved him in Top Gun, Cocktail etc, then he turned into a creepy control freak with shark eyes.

Caramia23 · 09/02/2023 18:38

Can't get on board with dissing Tom Hiddleston!!!!! Think he gets better with age!
All the rest I agree with though.

WetLettuce2 · 09/02/2023 18:39

Axel Rose ☹️

electricmoccasins · 09/02/2023 18:41

Ioan Gruffudd… Hornblower, The Forsyte Saga

It’s all gone very, very wrong now.

Axel Rose ☹️

Oh yes. That is sad. He was so pretty back in the day.

MissFancyDay · 09/02/2023 18:44

Colin Firth, he's so not my type when he's not Mr Darcy.

MermaidEyes · 09/02/2023 18:44

OneFrenchEgg · 09/02/2023 18:07

John Barrowman
Philip Schofield
George Michael ....

I hope you're male, otherwise you're out of luck 😆

For me, Johnny Depp who peaked in the POTC films
Gary Oldman, now just fat and old
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, think he's only in his 50s but he looks like an old man

Some for me have got better with age though - Keanu and Robert Downey Jr

Viggo Mortenson but only as Aragorn . Any other role is an absolute No !
