That Robby Benson guy looks much better now.

David Gilmour was gorgeous.

Jesse Spencer is still hot now, or he was last time House was still going. Would have then, would do now!

My first crush I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet:

But I also saw the first Die Hard young, so as well:

I'm embarrassed to admit that Marky Mark's Calvin Klein ads that came out around the time I was 11 or 12 and that was one of the first times I realized that I was gay. *hangs head*

Ben Powers, that guy who played Thelma's raggedy husband on "Good Times" during the last few seasons:

Josh Server from "All That"

...who's grown up to become a very handsome man. Goddamn, come to daddy!

Kel Mitchell from "All That" and "Good Burger". Always had a thing for skinny, goofy dudes, so don't judge me!

...and I'd still smash. Unabashedly:

Singer Chico DeBarge. However, he can't stay off those narcotics like his brother, El DeBarge and I hear I could find him in Skid Row in Downtown LA along with Nona Gaye, so I bet he's all cracked out now.

Rapper Method Man:

Michael J was so cute.

Charlie Wilson from The Gap Band...LOL.

Oooooh, a younger Bruce Willis, definitely. And a younger Ed Harris too. yum

I know i've talked about this before (ahem), but my first crush was Shaun Cassidy. I think I was 5 or 6 when he started on Hardy Boy Mysteries. My parents weirdly watched it with me and I remember my dad always making fun of Shaun just to tease me. My mom had a cougar crush on Parker Stevenson (she had me when she was 16, so he probably wasn't that much younger than her anyway). I noticed a few people mentioned David and Shaun Cassidy being their crushes and wanted to share this video of an older David and Shaun when they played twin brothers on Broadway (the show was called "Blood Brothers"). Shaun still looks more than yummy and even though I was never into David, this was before his foray into plastic surgery so he still has that look. It's strange because they both used that high pitched teeny bopper voice when they were in their prime, but they really show their vocal range in this song.

There's a shorter version, without the interview beforehand, but the quality is reallllllly bad. If you want to skip to the song, it starts around 5:55. The interview is kinda cute though if you were into one or both of the Cassidy brothers.

My very first record ever was Shaun Cassidy's remake of Da Doo Run Run...

Shaun Cassidy was my first crush too. We were jehovah's witnesses and I remember telling my dad that I liked him when we were praying at bedtime, after we'd just watched some show he was on on TV. My dad was so upset! He berated me about did I think he prayed to jehovah every night....did he follow the teachings of the church, etc?!? Made me so ashamed at like 7 or 8.
