Kevin Costner(in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves)
Spike from Hi Di Hi( that is quite possibly the most embarrasing crush ever

)
Pike from Dads Army( who is now Derek in EE

)
Gary Lineker
Jonathan Ross
Ross King from the 8.15 from Manchester
John Leslie
Dean Cain( Superman)
Christopher Reeve( also Superman)
Kenickie from Grease
Luke Skywalker

Im sure there are others, That when I remember I will post.

Jim Morrison was sooooooo beautiful.

PS. Can I just clear up re my post above about Captain Scarlett that I was seven ?

pelicano · 27/03/05 - 23:27

Oh and Morten Harket! It's all coming back to me now...!

[Deleted User] · 27/03/05 - 23:50

i had a crush on leonardo dicaprio

when i was about 10 then every month i would come across someone better looking lol until i got to the age of 12

[Deleted User] · 28/03/05 - 00:04

Robert Smith from The Cure. Don’t ask why because I really couldn’t tell you. LOL

I’ve always fancied men other women probably wouldn’t look twice at.

Agent Krycek · 28/03/05 - 12:38

I'll gloss over Scott Tracey in Thunderbirds (and I know I'm not the only one

) When I was about 6 until probably about 10 I had a huge ongoing crush on Emlyn Hughes

. Later on Midge Ure, I think, if I'd had the resources, I may have turned a bit stalkery where he was concerned, luckily I didn't have any resources and so the court injunction never happened

.

I must have been young and innocent, as I didn't notice such things!

Used to write 'Morten is lush' on my pencil case though!!!!!

Goldilocks · 29/03/05 - 11:05

When I was really young and the A team was THE thing to watch I had the biggest crush on Dirk Benedict

I was so young that I still believed that he could wait for me to grow up and then naturally we would meet up and he'd fall for me and we would get married.

The innocence of youth. After that when I was a teenager I fancied the pants off Pierce Brosnan when he was in Remington Steel (still haven't gotten over that and still fancy the pants off him).

Rob Lowe
Matt & Luke Goss
Jason Donovan
Bloke who played Donald Fisher's son in Home & Away
