Friday Fun- your first crushes- celebrity and IRL

[SnuggleBuggles]

Who were your first crushes? Was there any celebrity that you just loved? How about someone IRL? What was their *first name only* and how old were you? Did you ever wind up dating them? :)

My first celebrity crush was Tom Selleck. I used to ask to stay up to watch Magnum, PI when I was like 3yo because (as the story is told by my parents), "Magnum is beautiful and has good friends."

My first IRL crush was Eric. I remember liking him in 3rd grade. It went away but came back in 10th grade and lasted the rest of the way. Sadly, nothing ever came of it. Should have asked him though.

This thread reminds me of this youtube video. It's so freaking cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTCm8tdHkfI

I can't remember my first celebrity crush but I'm pretty sure it was one of the New Kids on the Block.

[mom2binsd]

Parker Stevenson of the Hardy Boys...I wrote about him in my diary!!!

It will be interesting to see these as the age range on this board is pretty wide (I had to laugh at PP NKOTB crush, I was in BIG SISTERS and my little sister had a crush on these guys, I was in my 20's)

[BillK]

Olivia Newton John

/swoon

[arivecchi]

Ricky Martin when he was in Menudo. LOL!

[DrSally]

First celebrity crush was prob The Edge from U2

[boolady]

Michael J. Fox in his Alex P. Keaton years, and Prince Andrew. Is there a dork smilie? I mean, Michael J. Fox is awesome, but in that role? Sheesh.

[MMMommy]

Michael J. Fox and Duran Duran (John Taylor, especially)!

[lalasmama]

My first IRL crush was Sean M. when I was like 5. Our moms were friends. We never dated--he had announced he wasn't interested in females at the beginning of high school. Its okay, because at that point, I was interested in someone else.

My first celebrity crush (at 5.5 years old) was Leroy Wolfgramm of The Jets (www.crushonthejets.com). When my mom passed and I got my box of "baby memorablia", my first letter to Leroy was in there. I had asked him to be my boyfriend. I was very upset that he never wrote back (and now I know why!). :ROTFLMAO:

[ewpmsw]

First celebrity crush was Johnny Depp. (21 Jump Street Depp, way before he was a pirate.) I was so not a Teen Beat fan and thought celebrity crushes were stupid, until I saw... Him. :heartbeat:

First IRL crush was some kid named Jeff T. from elementary school. When I look at our yearbook pics, I think he was a pretty strange looking kid. Back then, for some reason, I thought he was cute. After that, I developed an appreciation for class clowns, and looks took a back seat to "he's so funny!"

[jayali]

I am so dating myself here -

First Celebrity Crush - David Cassidy (I think I love you . . . )of Partridge Family Fame

First IRL Crush - Billy Hansen. Our mothers were best friends (She is my "aunt" Margie) so that made us almost cousins! We are still friends - both of us couldn't be more different.

[elektra]

Ricky Schroeder was my first celebrity crush. LOVED him. My parents even got me tickets to a taping of Silver Spoons and somehow we lucked out and got to sit in the front row. It was my dream. I had his autographed picture on my desk for years.
And then as an adult I actually met him at a small party in someone's home. It was when he was on NYPD Blue. I was tipsy and made a fool out of myself IIRC. :bag He was really shy/quiet and I was blabbing on. It's making me cringe thinking about it!

IRL, my first big crush was Adam M. I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. I would ride my bike by his house in a stalker-esque fashion. He was so pimply. I don't know what I was thinking.

[arivecchi]

Ricky Schroeder was my first celebrity crush. LOVED him. OMG! He was my second crush! I used to dream about him ALL THE TIME! :rotflmao:You've got good taste. ;)

[willow33]

Andrew McCarthy was my celebrity crush :) I loved...and still love...the movie Pretty In Pink!!

[MissM'sMom]

First celebrity crush was Rick Springfield. I sooo wanted to be Jessie's girl.

First crush IRL was probably Chad F. in third grade. He was soo cute, blond and blue eyed. That didn't last long as he moved away in fourth grade.

[Carrots]

My first celebrety crush was Joe MacIntyre from New Kids. My friend's dad drove us to his house to have pictures taken on his porch. :bag

[crl]

First celebrity crush: Sean Cassidy (oh yes, I am that old)
First serious irl crush: Matt--drum major, soooo cute, a senior!, and he was actually nice to me when I sat next to him in one class

Catherine

[AnnieW625]

celebrity: I think this goes to Matt Dillon in the Flamingo Kid. I was 8 and happened to see the movie on cable tv at the neighbors house.

in real life: probably Mike from the 3rd grade. No we never ended up dating but were friends/classmates through out high school. He's still really cute.

[wellyes]

First celebrity crush was Johnny Depp. (21 Jump Street Depp, way before he was a pirate.) I was so not a Teen Beat fan and thought celebrity crushes were stupid, until I saw... Him. :heartbeat:Me too. Johnny Depp!

I want to know what kind of deal he made with the devil to not age.... this is from 22 years ago:

He was mine too. We were on the same flight from Vegas to LA a few years back and since it was Southwest we got to choose our own seats. I told my husband that I owed it to my third grade self to sit near him so we sat in the row behind him.

[citymama]

Parker Stevenson of the Hardy Boys...I wrote about him in my diary!!!



Me too - I loved both of the Hardy Boys, but especially Parker! I also had a big crush on early 1980s Sting, circa Every Breath You Take.

[AnnieW625]

Oh yeah I liked Ricky Schroder too, and he was hot on NYPD Blue.

[dylansnan]

First celebrity crush was Johnny Depp. (21 Jump Street Depp, way before he was a pirate.)
:yeahthat:

Oh, how I :heartbeat: Johnny Depp :D (BTW I just bought the complete 1st and 2nd seasons of 21 Jumpstreet at Target)

My first IRL crush is now an actor and although, not a celebrity himself, he dates one.

[malphy]

I was in love with Leif Garrett. He was so cute!!! Now he is a hot mess, lol.

My 1st irl rush was Eddie "spaghetti", we had a love hate relationship.

[graciebellesmomma]

I loved Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevens and Leif Garrett.

Speaking of Rick Springfield, did anyone see him on Californication??
It was hilarious and pornorific!

He just happens to be playing here tomorrow night and
my friend and I are trying to talk our hubbies to get wild
and go see him rock it out!

[SnuggleBuggles]

I have only seen 1 episode of Californication and it had Rick Springfield in it. Hilarious!!!!

Some more that come to mind
Andrew McCarthy
Fred Savage
NKOTB- Donny was my favorite

[MontrealMum]

I had a huge crush on Parker Stevenson like Beth did. Followed by Rick Springfield (could hardly stand it when he was back on GH for awhile there!!!), followed by Bruce Springsteen (actually, still have a bit of a thing for him :) ) Followed by quite a few more...

[motherofone]

My first IRL crush was Doug G.-he lived next door but moved when we were in third grade. My celebrity crush was Shaun Cassidy-dreamy:love5: I think I was about 11 or so.

[Momit]

Duran Duran (John Taylor, especially)!

:yeahthat: Except Nick Rhodes was my fave.

When I was really little it was Shaun Cassidy.

[mommylamb]

I think it's a tie between John Stamos and Rob Lowe. I had pictures of the two of them plastered all over my walls.

[Tammy]

First celebrity crush was Don Johnson from Miami Vice. I watched that show EVERY Friday night and had a huge collage of his pictures in my bedroom. I remember when I finally cleared off my walls years later, it was really hard taking those down!

[MolieMuts]

:yeahthat: Except Nick Rhodes was my fave.

When I was really little it was Shaun Cassidy.

:yeahthat: Nick Rhodes! I also liked Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats. My sister had a poster of Shaun Cassidy and kissed it every night.

My first IRL was a boy named Allen, 6th grade. He was the "boyfriend" of one of my friends...how scandalous.

[Happy 2B mommy]

My first celebrity crush was Pierce Bronson on "Rememington Steele". Those eyes... the accent... the tux... (sigh)

My first IRL crush was Paul W. I kissed him in kindy... We were friends in high school and still keep in touch.

[SnuggleBuggles]

Ah, Remington Steele. I liked him a bunch too. Still have a soft spot for Pierce Bronsnan, so much so that I almost boycotted the new James Bond films.

Beth

[fortato]

RICKY SCHRODER!! (Although it makes me cringe when I think about how my friends and I would swoon when he called himself "The Ricker".)

And- John Schneider- Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard!!

IRL- I had a mad crush on a guy named Joe Reitano. He was HOT. But... found out a couple of years ago that he got into gay porn. Yeah. So...I guess it was ok that we never dated or anything.

ETA- If you Google Joe- Be careful. There's a bunch of pictures that are NSFW. But he was still cute...

[SnuggleBuggles]

I loved Michael Douglas too. Really got rolling with Wall Street.

Beth

[ilfaith]

A quote from my dairy in 3rd grade...

"I really love Marc [boy who lived down the street]...almost as much as I love Shaun Cassidy"
