Who was your celebrity crush when you were young?

Who was your celebrity crush when you were young?
Aubrey Plaza
Still is
Earliest is Christina Ricci. I was 10 and the movie was Casper.
That crush continues to this day.
The painfully obvious: Jennifer Connelly.
First saw her in Labyrinth when I was like 12, and she awoke something in me, and that continued when I saw The Rocketeer when my parents rented them from Blockbuster. Later when I was a little older she solidified that awakening when I saw Career Opportunities rented from Blockbuster myself once old enough to have my own account.
Tim Curry lol
yep
Gilbert Gottfried.
Only correct answer.
This might awaken something in you:
bro do you even shoedini?
Winona Ryder
Heathers changed my world in more ways than one.
Jessica Alba then Emma Watson and then Megan Fox 💀
But I was more grown up for the later two. My child child crush was Jessica Alba 😂
Christina Ricci. I was maybe 5 or 6 the first time I saw the Addams Family movies, I was already extremely into everything scary and/or Halloween adjacent, and she was only a few years older than I was, and she was both pretty and scary, and the boy she gets paired with in Values reminded me of me. The overall effect of this was to fill me with a deep-seated lifelong fondness for spooky women in general and her in particular. A few years after that I saw Casper, which only reinforced the effect, and Sleepy Hollow showed up just in time for me to hit puberty.
By look, Milla Jovovich in the 5th Element.
By sound, Tim Curry in Ferngully.
Alyssa Milano. She could have been my boss.
Probably either Shakira or Brittney Spears.
Lilu Multipass & Ruby Rhod
Eddie Vedder circa Ten. Sigh…

Ricci circa Buffalo 66 was peak. Then she got all Hollywood skinny and she lost all appeal to me.

Erin Gray from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century!

Anyone remember: Kristy McNichol?
My boyhood dream.
I think my first was Linda Carter.
Definitely on my list.
Eliza Dushku
Morgan Webb
From g4tv? Damn. Also, same.
Yup
Leonard Nimoy as Spock
Heath Ledger
Candice Bergen I'm the Wind and the Lion
Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown. I think halfway I wanted her and halfway I wanted to be her.
Delores O'Riorden.
Watching her dance under a waterfall covered in gold paint for the music video for Zombie really did it for child me apparently.
Fran Fine from The Nanny.
It was one of those 'I don't know if I fancy her or want to be her' type crushes and was basically the foundation for my love of fashion and personal style, and my predilection for annoying voices.
Also my mother hated her, which made me like her even more.
Lead woman in the last movie I saw.
Maybe the most consistent was Hermione Granger, I say Hermione instead of Emma Watson bc I never saw her as anything else and had a crush on the book character too.
The other option might be Anna Kendrick.
Mine was seeing Cameron Diaz in the Mask when I was like 6. Her walking into that bank for the first time completely changed me.
The earliest, specific crush on a celebrity I can remember was Lindsay Lohan in as early as 2003, but maybe 2005 or so. I was a middle schooler.
Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer
Alicia Silverstone
Fergie from Black Eyed Peas
Catherine Bach from Dukes of Hazard 1979-1985
Oh man, yeah. One of mine for sure.
Danielle Fischel and Rider Strong (Topanga and Shawn from Boy Meets World). Trying to understand how I could be attracted to both led to some important realisations as a young teen...
Diana Rigg, but only because I was a big Bond nerd in high school.
Linda Hamilton circa Beauty and the Beast
Michelle Pfeiffer circa Ladyhawke
Paul Rudd circa Clueless
Erika Eleniak and Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
Man.....what 12 year old me would have given to explore Alex Mack's secret world....
Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Happy to be the first one to say Avril Lavegne
Giving away my age a bit but Jane Fonda.
I don't know, some things are timeless.
Still quite attractive.

Astronema from Power Rangers IN SPACE, followed by Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage. 😁
