Did you ever have a teen hearthrob?

[junebug17]

I saw Miami Sound Machine in Boston when I was younger, and New Kids opened up for them. When Joey sang, "Please Don't Go Girl," I was convinced he was singing to me. I had a huge crush on him. After they sang, Joey came back to the section we were in and hung out with the people who sat in front of us. Turns out, they were family of his.

I also loved Ricky Schroeder from "Silver Spoons" and Kirk Cameron from "Growing Pains."

That's really cute Zoe!

As a kid, I loved Robbie Benson and Willie Ames (years later at a U2 concert I literally walked/smashed into Willie - he looked the same, and had very nice manners)

As a grownup, big crush on Jason Statham and Mark Wahlberg (didn't ever like him til I saw "Three Kings")

I loved Jonathan Taylor Thomas (more like obsessed). I bought magazines every single month and put his posters up. I actually think I got 3 out of the 4 walls in my bedroom full of posters of him. I wish I had pictures on my computer to show you all - I look back at it now and laugh. I also liked Andrew Keegan and Devon Sawa.

Davey Jones
David Cassidy
Bobby Sherman

Yep, Davey Jones. The show came on on Saturday night, early. My mother would not allow me to mow the lawn until the sun was down a bit, because of the heat. This left me precious little time to get the grass cut before the show. I can recall literally running behind the lawn mower, in order to finish in time for the show.

I saw the Monkees last week on Antennae TV. What a blast! My best friend met Davey Jones when she was 14 back in 1970 and met him again a few years ago.

I was more of a Micky Dolenz fan.

 

[soocool]

Ok, so I just watched Here Come the Brides with Bobby Sherman and my daughter said I was drooling.

I hope this station has Alias Smith and Jones because I also have (oops I should have said "had") a thing for Ben Murphy.

Amazing that I still get giddy at my age.

River Phoenix

I read your title as "have you ever been a teen heartthrob". Oops.

So did I. I was wondering who here was a teen heart throb and why I hadn't known!

Tiger Beat was my best friend. Michael Jackson when I was about three, Vanilla Ice and NKOTB in elementary school. Jonathan Brandis in middle school. Then Backstreet Boys in high school, briefly.

Now? I am a big Vin Diesel fan. Something about that voice and those arms. Woo.

Are we doing only singers? I would probably have to say I was crazy over the guys in some bands. Jim Morrison of, "The Doors" was

one of them!

I saw NKOTB in concert...it was my first one! I'm pretty sure I died and went to heaven during that song!!!

Ricky Schroeder was another one! But my Growing Pains crush was totally Jonathan Miller (Ben Seaver)...even at 5 I went for the dorky one...

 

[katamari]

I must have been a little golddigger, because I was so in love with Ricky Schroeder in Silver Spoons. I dreamed about us riding around on his train, and when he made the mix tape for his girlfriend with "Broken Wings," I cried. Sean Astin, in Goonies, was also such a dreamboat and why I have a braces fetish to this day. And, 21 Jump Street Johnny Depp.

I also loved Michael Jackson, Michael Hutchence (so freaking hot), and River Phoenix. RIP my sweet crushes.



(I also think it is so funny how we are all showing our ages through our crushes).

(I also think it is so funny how we are all showing our ages through our crushes).

One more person I loved was MacKenzie Astin from the last season or two from "Facts of Life."

 

[dragonfly411]

Jeremy Jackson
Johnathan Taylor Thomas (JTT)
Devon Sawa
Zach Hanson
Justin Timberlake
Chris from NSync - sad I know
Brian Littrell
The Kid who played Atreyu in the Neverending Story
Leonardo DiCaprio

Oh, me too!

Other than that, I had some weird ones. Jason Bateman and that funny asian kid from Temple of Doom. What can I say...as a Korean kid growing up, I didn't have a lot of asian heartthrobs to choose from.

 

[jewelerman]

i was in love with Valery Bertinelli from one day at a time! It was 1975 and i was 13 and liked older women(she was 15 or so)In high school i had a major crush on a Calvin Klein jeans model(pre-Brook Shields) by the name of Patti Hansen who i think married Kieth Richards of the Rolling Stones.

 

[elrohwen]

I was in love with Christian Bale after watching Newsies about 1,683,029 times.

 

[kittybean]

I loved Joshua Jackson when he was Pacey on Dawson's Creek. Dawson couldn't hold a candle to him.

 

[Amber St. Clare]

Jim Morrison.

The soft parade has now begun......

Indiana Jones!

I studied archaeology - I swear half of the faculty was there for this reason! Indiana's whip from the movies is displayed in the entrance of our Institute

[CurlySue]

I loved Ricky Schroeder from his Silver Spoons days, Kirk Cameron, both Sean (loved him in Goonies) and McKenzie Astin, and Brian Bloom (when he was on "As the World Turns" as Dusty).

I just did a Google image search for all five of them since I haven't seen many of them on TV or movies recently. So funny to see how all they turned out as adults.

 

[Camus]

I used to be in love with Michael J. Fox and watched all of the Back to the Future movies over and over and over again, although the 3rd one did suck pretty bad.

OOOooo someone else remembers Bobby Sherman! Mine were Davy Jones, Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy. Geez that was a lifetime ago.....

 

[diva rose]

joey from new kids on the block.

i loved joe, my sister loved jordan. our room was plastered with nkotb memorabilia.

LOL - that was the same with my family! I loved Joey and my sister loved Jordon.

Ladies who wants to know where Devon Sawa went to - check Nikita on CW. Here is an article on him:

I watched Nikita just for him and I have to say - he was really good. Hoping he becomes a show regular.

Anyone liked Luke Perry aka Dylan from 90210 the original series?

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I won't lie, I really thought we would end up married.

Judge me, I have come to terms.
