Who was your teenage crush?

[nerudite]

I have two step-daughters and they are both in the throes of wild crushes on two celebrities that are, IMO, yucky. The pre-teen is wild over Justin Timberlake (yuck!) and the 15 y.o. is gaga over Darren Hayes (another wannabe popster from Savage Garden).

I started thinking about the celebs I was interested in when I was a kid, and all I can come up with was John Taylor from Duran Duran (but who wasn't into him?)... and Lance Mountain, a skateboard god. I actually still have a little crush on Lance Mountain, but whatever...

So I was thinking since we are mostly around the same age here... who were your celebrity crushes when you were a pre-teen/teenager?

 

[nerudite]

Oh yeah... here's Lance

He's 36 and still going strong... and still yummy!

 

[PlannerGirl]

Luke Skywalker

man i had it bad for that whole idea

 

[Downtown]

As a pre-teen I was enfatuated with both Coreys and Kirk Cameron. gag.

 

[Habanero]

No one thought Donny (aka the "bad boy") from New Kids was hot? I also seemed to have a crush on one the guy who played "Gilbert" in Anne of Green Gables.. does anyone know who I'm talking about?

Yeah... Jonathan Crombie... I dug him too, especially after watching the end to the first movie. That whole "carrots" thing at the end made my little teenage heart go pitter pat. Lol... I totally forgot about him!

Here is a pic, just for you Tex... this is what he looks like now. And uh... he is Canadian, so you could always use him as your avatar next week.

Mary Lou Retton

Only you Mary Lou!

Now it would be the Japanese twins from Goldmember:

Fook Mi and Fook Yu

Do I win a prize for knowing who the two Corey's are? hahhaha I LUH-UVED Corey Haim, and my sister loved Corey Feldman. They just don't make movies like Lost Boys, License to Drive, Dream A Little Dream anymore...

Goonies, anyone? Another favorite...

 

[Chet]

Who the H*ll is Coey Haim?!

 

[Habanero]

That whole "carrots" thing at the end made my little teenage heart go pitter pat. Lol... I totally forgot about him!

Yeah, he's the reason I dyed my hair red!

 

[Habanero]

Who the H*ll is Coey Haim?!

BLASPHEMY!

 

[Chet]

BLASPHEMY!

That didn't help. Who is he?

 

[SW MI Planner]

He's hot, thats who!!

He was the little brother in Lost Boys (80's vampire movie with Keifer Sutherland). Ummm...you know, I can't remember what else besides the ones I already mentioned.

They did an E tv biography thingy on him...wow, was he whacked out.

I forgot to add my other favorite...Axl Rose. Don't ask me why, but he rocks! That was more of a older teen, young adult type of thing...

 

[Repo Man]

...and Lance Mountain, a skateboard god. I actually still have a little crush on Lance Mountain, but whatever...

Lance Mountain..with those catepillar eyebrows?!?...just kidding. He was my favorite skater when I was a teenager. I even got to meet him (and some other pros) in Chicago at a Bad Religion concert and he was super cool. Never did have a crush on him though

My crushes were the chick who played Samantha on Gimme A Break, Dana Plato, Carrie Fisher, Mary Lou Retton, and Kerri Green, the redhead from Goonies, Lucas, and some other 80s movies...oh and Mia Sara, who played Sloane in Ferris Buller's Day Off....

 

[Habanero]

yeah, but have you seen Axel lately? He's gross now!

 

[SW MI Planner]

You don't like the dreads?! He was actually pretty gross back in the day too, but man, there was just something about him

I like when he fell through the ramp on the search for animal chin tour...

that's tough.

Not even when he dressed in drag for that Bones Brigade video?

I called his little dance the "chicken dance" because I thought he looked like a chicken when it scratches the ground. LOL

 

[The Irish One]

As a teen, various porn stars, (just being honest) when I was younger- Wonder Woman was the hottest. I was only 6 or 7 yrs. old and I wanted her -I was in love with her.

 

[Zoning Goddess]

I guess I'm the oldie here, since I haven't ever heard of half the celebs already mentioned. But maybe some of the newbies will be in the same boat about the pre-teen hotties from my day: Davey Jones (shades of Marcia Brady!), the Cowsills (so embarrasing now), Sajid Khan (guy from India on a show with Jay North a/k/a Dennis the Menace).

 

[Mastiff]

Melody from Josie and the Pussycats....

Then (voice of Cheryl Ladd):

AND now (Tara Reid)!

 

[mike gurnee]

Annette

 

[Super Amputee Cat]

Daisy Duke

 

[Cardinal]

I wondered how long it would be before someone mentioned Catherine Bach.

For me, the first was Olivia Newton John. She still looks great.

 

[Journeymouse]

It's funny you should mention Daisy. I liked the blonde guy. Admittedly when I was about 7 when I saw it so I didn't like him like him. He's still good looking though if that superman-as-a-teenager is anything to go by. The guy who plays clark is more in my age range though.

My actual first crush was Sean Connery's James Bond. This developed into a definite liking of action heroes, so the next crushes were Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren. I am ever so grateful to my dad for encouraging my taste in muscular bits of rough, by agreeing that I wasn't dumb enough to think I could take on the world just because I saw it in a movie. I now just have to find myself one. A bit of rough, that is...

 

[Chet]

And none of the women here said Prince William. I guess you're all "too old" for that to be a teenage crush.

 

[nerudite]

He's a cutie... but I would have to be about 10 years younger...

 

[Habanero]

nah- he's over 18 now!

Personally, I think Harry would be more fun.

One word for you

Cougar

 

[OhioPlanner]

New Kids on the Block. Walberg (sp?) was my favorite.

 

[Downtown]

Ok, this whole discussion almost make me snarf my coffee this afternoon!

I forgot to mention my major case of pre-teen hot pants for Scott Baio - first as Chachi, then as Charles in Charge! hee!

 

[Jen]

Ok I'll play

First crush David Cassidy

Second Crush The Fonz

Third Crush Rocky

Fourth crush... well by then I was 17 and found my own brooding dark haired boy to...

 

[kms]

OK - JFK, Jr. USA royalty for me.

 

[NHPlanner]

No question in my my 10 year old mind....

 

[Journeymouse]

Prince William is a little too pretty for my tastes and if the news stories are anything to go by then Harry is at least more normal. And just look at their gene pool. I bet you 5 euros/dollars that they're both bald byt the time they're 35...

 

[The Irish One]

hey ladies I know who you forgot to mention

 

[Downtown]

ooooh! good one, irish! We used to play Knight Rider for hours and hours.

 

[Dan]

I always liked the "girl next door" look. In the 1980s, that meant only one thing ...

That's right. Kim Richards. She's still a babe.

 

[Chet]

Don't forget...

Everybody loves Maude!

 

[The Irish One]

another for the ladies hearts

 

[nerudite]

hey ladies I know who you forgot to mention

Trust me... we didn't forget Hasselhoff... ewwww.

 

[donk]

They rememebred and that was why he was not mentioned.

How is he a star in Germany? the local music groups must be crap.
