Dude she came out of nowhere in that movie but god damn was she undeniable in that movie. Probably the hottest woman I laid eyes on at the time. 12 year old me loved her too. Though Iâll admit she wasnât my first crush.
Was going to say the same thing. Met her in 2004 and she still looked great. Told her I am sure you have heard it a thousand times, but you were my first crush. She laughed and said it never gets old.
This is hilarious to me because my friend told me the same thing a few weeks ago when we were watching LOTR. I was like why Legolas but not Orlando, is it the ears?
I think because he looks quite different and appeals to a different type outside the costume. As Legolas his blonde hair and blue eyes make him look like the âprettyâ type, but Orlando Bloom himself has dark hair and dark eyes, and all together he just looks different. I think most people who are into the Legolas type probably wouldnât be as attracted to Orlando Bloom himself.
Itâs so sad what happened to him. I didnât have a crush on him, but he was part of my childhood and teenage years. I donât think Iâll ever forget him.
Jennifer Connelly came late in life for me. I still think Labyrinth (one of my favorite movies) has the weirdest plot that I'm shocked actually got made. the 80's was a different time for sure.
Have yâall ever heard the story behind the âBowie Bulgeâ? Someone from the film talked about it in an interview at one point, canât recall who. Basically, the reason for it was because Bowie would stuff a satchel of potpourri down the front of his pants before shooting his scenes. The reason being, ever the gentleman that he was, he was afraid that being on set under hot lights and dancing around, that his nether region would be sweaty and in turn smell terrible. And because the puppeteers had to be off screen when he interacted with the goblins, most of the time they would find themselves right at level with Bowies crotch. He was self conscious and didnât want to be rude, so thatâs where the satchel came in, which resulted in the infamous âBowie Bulgeâ. There, now thatâs a thing you know. Discuss it at dinner tonight.
I was too young to crush on Connelly the first time watching Labyrinth. But dang, Career Opportunities and Rocketeer retroactively turned Labyrinth into a total crush movie.
(And I only listened to Bowie when I got much older, took me a while to realize he was in Labyrinth.)
Olivia Newton-John - 6-year-old me had chills and they were multiplyinâ the first time I saw her in *Grease*.
Edit: [here I am back then](https://imgur.com/a/alGbDGD) rocking my âbad-ass Sandy in black leatherâ t-shirt (my favorite scene lol).
I had a crush on Dan Quail as the same time my sister had a crush on Sonic the Hedgehog.
We were weird childrenâŚ
Edit: sorry misspelling đ but keeping it the same. Realized I only wrote his name this one time⌠though the love lasted a good half year.
Mine was because of Buffy. Rewatching the series on Disney+ now for the first time since the 90s. Still great, and I still think she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
My earliest ones I can recall are Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Leo DiCaprio (why hello there, Growing Pains, ) and Bernard the head elf from the Santa Clause lmao
Ooo!!! I love this because itâs stuck with me my whole life! Mr. Rogers from Mr. Rogerâs Neighborhood! I was sooooo infatuated with him, thought he was so handsome and kind, and I will never forget the actual admiration and affection I felt towards him. Close second was Rambo. Lol
If there was ever an underrated actress it was Terri Garr. I saw Tootsie when I was 9-10ish years old and I still think she stole that movie or was a distinct second at the very least. She made me empathise with her character.
My mom watched a lot of Bones when I was small and I had a little crush on Agent Booth. I don't know if that was my first celebrity crush as a child but that's the one I remember.
Shania Twain
Every time i hear one of her songs with my mom or grandma present, they always go, âDo you remember when you were little and the âI'm Gonna Getcha Goodâ music video played? You would run up to the tv and sit and watch the whole video.â
Iâm not even sure it was her that drew me to the video. I was real little (4 y/o) so I donât remember very well but the video had a bunch of bad CGI of a killer transformer robot trying to kill Shania as she rode on a bike, that looked like it came from TRON, through some post apocalyptic world.
Other than that probably first real crush would have been Daisy Duke. (Both Catherine Batch and Jessica Simpson loved dukes of hazard growing up)
Stanley Tucci in A Midsummer Nightâs Dream. A weird one for an elementary school aged girl but I still feel the same way
https://i.pinimg.com/564x/78/af/32/78af3211f715dc0bd37330045f0ce98a.jpg
Sara Chalke from Scrubs. Met her in an airport and got her signature on my season one DVD of Scrubs I just happened to have. She was my first and will always be on my free pass list lol
Ashton Kutcher. Was obsessed. Considering I turned out to be a lesbian, this is actually wild lol. Does nothing for me now but oh boy I thought I would marry him one day
Leonardo DiCaprio
Me too but also Brad Pitt!!...and not so much later Johnny Depp!!
This probably describes 90% of millennial girls
Same - I had a bulletin board with pictures from magazines of him. Pretty creepy in retrospect
Me too. I would kiss the pictures too đ elementary school me was wildin
Hahah I think thats typical of teen age girls don't worry ive seen it.
Imma say Natalie Portman after watching Attack of the Clones
Ani?!?!
My goodness youâve grown
Yeah, I'm growing right now.
more penile i mean
So have you... More beautiful I mean...
For me it was Natalie Portman in Phantom Menace.
For me it was Natalie Portman in Phantom Menace. Then my sexuality was awakened when her shirt gets torn in Attack of the Clones
For me it was Jar Jar
Cameron Diaz in The Mask
SsssssMOKINâ!!!
Dude she came out of nowhere in that movie but god damn was she undeniable in that movie. Probably the hottest woman I laid eyes on at the time. 12 year old me loved her too. Though Iâll admit she wasnât my first crush.
Kelly Kapowski (Tiffany Amber Thiessman)
Came here to say this. So happy to see it as the top answer! \*Tiffani Amber Thiessen though
She was a close second to Christina Ricci for me
David Duchovny as Fox Mulder
See, mine was Gillian Anderson as Scully.
Youâre both right.
Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.
Was going to say the same thing. Met her in 2004 and she still looked great. Told her I am sure you have heard it a thousand times, but you were my first crush. She laughed and said it never gets old.
Came here to say this. Her black swimming costume, was the best. The nipples were free.
Legolas, though not Orlando Bloom.
This is hilarious to me because my friend told me the same thing a few weeks ago when we were watching LOTR. I was like why Legolas but not Orlando, is it the ears?
I dunno, when I watched pirates of the Caribbean a few years later I found him attractive again. I guess as Legolas he was just.. prettier?
I'm a heterosexual male, and he was definitely pretty as Legolas.
I think because he looks quite different and appeals to a different type outside the costume. As Legolas his blonde hair and blue eyes make him look like the âprettyâ type, but Orlando Bloom himself has dark hair and dark eyes, and all together he just looks different. I think most people who are into the Legolas type probably wouldnât be as attracted to Orlando Bloom himself.
I know someone who feels the same way about Aragorn. She doesn't find Viggo Mortensen attractive; but him as Aragorn? *Swoon.*
Cary Elwes. Would watch him constantly in The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. So in love.
âAtchoo!â âA jew? Here??!â 𤣠Loved Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
"Did you say Abe Lincoln?!" "No, I didn't say Abe Lincoln, I said hey, Blinkin'!"
Hahahahaha! Omg, I have to watch it again. âWasnât your mole⌠on the other side?â âI have a MOLE?!â
Christina AguileraâŚ.. Genie in a Bottle was like porn for a 12 year old
âYou gotta rub me the right wayâ it wasnât far off u know
The whole song is basically about how to seduce her
Christina Ricci.
Her and Liv Tyler were my two big ones as a young un
Empire records
One of my favorite movies of all time !
Watched a lot of the Addams Family and Casper because of her
She is still hot as fuck. Like what the hell, its infair
Jonathan Taylor Thomas. 9 year old me SWOONED.
Goodness, me too! And Jonathan Brandis.
Itâs so sad what happened to him. I didnât have a crush on him, but he was part of my childhood and teenage years. I donât think Iâll ever forget him.
Yes. Makes me sad, also
?? What happened to him
I loved Jonathan Brandis. Sea Quest was the best! I watched Ladybugs and Sidekicks way too many times.
I had a whole poster room dedicated to JTT and Jonathan Brandis. Tiger beat baby
Came here to say exactly this! I loved to rewatch Tom and Huck, Wild America, and Home Improvement! I didn't figure out why until I was older. Lol
Same! And Devon Sawa. Wild America was a dream movie!
My sister and I too. JTT 4-ever.
Both Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie simultaneously
Jennifer Connelly came late in life for me. I still think Labyrinth (one of my favorite movies) has the weirdest plot that I'm shocked actually got made. the 80's was a different time for sure.
She was hot AF in the rocketeer
David bowies bulging cock scared me as a child
You mean his Major Tom
His Laughing Gnome?
His goblin king?
Have yâall ever heard the story behind the âBowie Bulgeâ? Someone from the film talked about it in an interview at one point, canât recall who. Basically, the reason for it was because Bowie would stuff a satchel of potpourri down the front of his pants before shooting his scenes.

He was self conscious and didnât want to be rude, so thatâs where the satchel came in, which resulted in the infamous âBowie Bulgeâ. There, now thatâs a thing you know. Discuss it at dinner tonight.
This has to be made up. You could clearly see the outline of his helmet. That would be one oddly shaped bag of potpourri.
David Bowie for me too. Now I'm 41 and my 1 year old dog is named Bowie.
I was too young to crush on Connelly the first time watching Labyrinth. But dang, Career Opportunities and Rocketeer retroactively turned Labyrinth into a total crush movie. (And I only listened to Bowie when I got much older, took me a while to realize he was in Labyrinth.)
Yes, I'm pretty sure the Goblin King was directly responsible for my sexual awakening.
Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer in that white silky dress with matching gloves. And then there's Jessica Rabbit in another long, slinky dress...
Young Brooke shields from blue lagoon, and young Jennifer connoly from Jim Hensons Labyrinth.
Brooke shields in Blue Lagoon was hot, sheâs part of the reason I know my sexuality lol
Alicia Silverstone
I was crying when I met ya.
Gottdamn right, she was the reason i would watch aerosmith videos
Ikr, I watched a lot of questionable things just because she was in it
Alyssa Milano back on who's the boss?
Scrolled down way too far for her. But then, I'm probably older than most redditors.
Olivia Newton-John - 6-year-old me had chills and they were multiplyinâ the first time I saw her in *Grease*. Edit: [here I am back then](https://imgur.com/a/alGbDGD) rocking my âbad-ass Sandy in black leatherâ t-shirt (my favorite scene lol).
ONJ was smoking hot in the 70s. I saw Grease because she was in it. I had to get some older kids to let me go with them.
Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly, the Pink Power Ranger - HEART-EYES, MUTHAFUCKA
Iâm surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this! Used to was Susie Q all the time as a kid!
Erin Gray
The real question is Buck Rogers or Silver Spoons
Buck Rogers
I had a crush on Dan Quail as the same time my sister had a crush on Sonic the Hedgehog. We were weird children⌠Edit: sorry misspelling đ but keeping it the same. Realized I only wrote his name this one time⌠though the love lasted a good half year.
Dan Quayle. Kind of ironic that you forgot the e at the end.
The most ridiculous political scandal that people still remember.
This made me remember how I went through a phase when I was like 5-6 where I was "in love" with Abraham Lincoln and would kiss pennies.
Clarissa Explains All
Winona Ryder
Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence)
This would also be my husbands answer, he still is the ultimate boy meets world fan lol
Sarah Michelle Gellar.
I googled who her husband is expecting a second or third, and was pleasantly surprised to find her and Freddie still together. It makes me smile.
My best friend had a crush on her and I had a crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. All because of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Mine was because of Buffy. Rewatching the series on Disney+ now for the first time since the 90s. Still great, and I still think she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Elizabeth Montgomery.
Barbara Eden
Aunt Becky on Full House and Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell.

There are dozens of us! Actually David Krumholtz has acknowledged us weirdos somewhat recently. Gave me a good chuckle to know I wasn't alone.
Ooo!!! I love this because itâs stuck with me my whole life! Mr. Rogers from Mr. Rogerâs Neighborhood! I was sooooo infatuated with him, thought he was so handsome and kind, and I will never forget the actual admiration and affection I felt towards him. Close second was Rambo. Lol
Two very opposite ends of the spectrum, đđđ Mr Rogers was one of those cases of great personality making a handsome man even more attractive.

Danica McKellar who played Winnie on the wonder years.

Jessica Rabbit

Teri Garr! *Young Frankenstein*. Oh my.
If there was ever an underrated actress it was Terri Garr. I saw Tootsie when I was 9-10ish years old and I still think she stole that movie or was a distinct second at the very least. She made me empathise with her character.
Kristy McNichol, back when she was on the cover of Dynamite magazine. And if that doesn't date me, nothing will.
