I wasn’t a particularly crush-heavy teenager.
I didn’t have posters on my walls, I didn’t join fan clubs, and I definitely did not have any t-shirts with boys on them.
But I do remember that when I saw Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken, I thought that the actor who played Al (Michael Schoeffling) was seriously good looking.
I had no idea even what his name was at the time, and it wasn’t until Mr. FG and I watched 16 Candles (a much more famous movie!) as a newly married couple that I even saw him on the screen again.
I think my only other teenage movie crush (along with about a million other girls) was Mr. Darcy from the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.
So, one slightly obscure crush, and one very, very typical crush.
Oddly, a little boy named Lane in my kindergarten class. Yes, kindergarten. I say odd because that seems weirdly early to me now, and I never actually had a boyfriend until, um, my eventual husband when I was in my twenties. I guess I got through that phase early.
At first glance, I thought the pic was Mr FG.
You know, I was thinking that there are definitely some looks similarities between him and my first crush. Apparently, I have a type! 🙂
I immediately thought the same thing. Very handsome! You have good taste.
My next door neighbor! It’s possible my sister will read this so I’ll just leave it at that. lol.
I can only admit this because no one will see my last name or email and be able to identify me: Henry Kissinger. I cannot explain it and, luckily, I did not marry anyone who resembled him in looks or behavior.
Haha, that is an awesome crush!
How about my last crush? It’s my hubby! It’s been 44 years, and I’m still crazy about that guy! Ahem…I kinda like Richard Gere too!!
Mr. Darcy forever!! I think I liked a little boy in kindergarten — he wore a plaid vest! — but probably because my friend, Lynn Rose, liked him and he chose her for square-dancing.
