Oh, I didn't go for him at first when I saw a picture. But the videos are very boyfriendy and he's very into the ladies; it's refreshing (I was never a porn watcher, but that might change.)

Similarly, at my current age I'm a little creeped out by the babyish, wounded/vulnerable-looking faces of our old crush objects pictured above. Amazing how young Ewan McG looks. Kinda...victimy though? I'm torn between their obvious smashability and...them looking like they've already been smashed. :(
Oh, that guy is a porn star?

YES! Both of them.
Man, River was so amazingly beautiful. Does he have a different dad to the other Pheonix kids? I've always wondered because they all look so much alike and nothing like him.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Monday, 25 June 2012 13:36 (eleven years ago) link
They do all look so young. And at the time, to me, they were all so old!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Monday, 25 June 2012 13:40 (eleven years ago) link
tbf, ewan was playing a heroin addict in that movie. i remember him as being kind of hearty in comparison to some of the 90s waifs i lusted after, but maybe that was only relative.
― horseshoe, Monday, 25 June 2012 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
i know i'm supposed to hate him, but i also thought damon albarn was the hottest.

I'm trying to think of who my teen crushes were and I'm blanking! I know when I was a pre-teen, I was all about Joe Elliot and Rick Savage from Def Leppard... Oh wait! I've got one.

also, stephen malkmus. but i'm having a hard time finding 90s pictures of him online.

Oh wait, and Matthew Broderick c. War Games. And Wyatt but NOT Gary from Weird Science. And Val Kilmer from real Genius.
― carl agatha, Monday, 25 June 2012 13:46 (eleven years ago) link
Oh oh oh Eric Stoltz c. Some Kind of Wonderful. Geez, how could I forget that one. I actually specifically remember telling somebody that he was my favorite actor at some point in the 80s.
― carl agatha, Monday, 25 June 2012 13:48 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, eric stolz was preternaturally beautiful in that movie. tbh i was never into him, for that reason. there was something eerie about his face. still is.
― horseshoe, Monday, 25 June 2012 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
tbh I didn't have crushes on any of the actual actors. I had crushes on their characters, and I translated those into crushes on the actors (hence Eric Stoltz as my stated favorite actor) because I thought that was a little more normal. But mostly I liked cute boys playing smart weirdos in movies (and also Jason Patric in the Lost Boys because come on, look at that guy).
― carl agatha, Monday, 25 June 2012 13:52 (eleven years ago) link
As far as musicians go, Robert Smith, (young) Robert Plant, Chrissy Hynde, and in keeping with my affinity for smart weirdos, Mike Mills from REM.

i was obsessed with the face of marty willson piper, but only had a couple of pictures of him to go on and they were all basically half hair.

I didn't know who any of these people were when I was an adolescent/teen (I still don't know who half of these photos are of). When I was VERY young, though, I had a desperate infatuation with this guy:

Otherwise all my crushes were on real people. I kept all of them as secret as possible and never told the boys in question, although I couldn't stop myself from talking about them to others, so I'm sure everyone actually knew. I still remember all of their faces and most of their names.
― how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Monday, 25 June 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link
well of courseexcept i occasionally told the boy in question and it NEVER EVER ENDED WELL. not even once.

I can support that.
I've only ever liked brooding wise guys, I guess. This preference is probably not serving me that well in my adult life.

Taylor Lautner or something like that I think.
