A heartthrob is defined as a man, typically a celebrity, whose good looks excite immature romantic feelings in women. Immature or not, almost every woman I know once crushed on a fresh-faced famous person with heavily-marketed sex appeal. In fact, some grown women currently lust for Edward Cullen Robert Pattinson. Who got your heart throbbing when you were a teen? (And if you're nostalgic, note that you can still check out Tiger Beat and Bop.)

Dorotennis
Presence
Dress for Less
J.T.T for sure! And Zach Morris
1Embarrassingly, they were comic book heroes and anime characters.
Does that mean
something is wrong with me?
2No Leo??? I definitely had him on my wall!
3Kirk Cameron, Mark Paul-Gosselar, Mark Hamill AKA Luke Skywalker (hahaha), and Michael J. Fox.
4None. I always had posters of girls on my wall, and I'm straight. I guess I just thought I could relate to them more. I don't know.
5Jonathan Brandis! Remember the movie Ladybugs?
Poor guy committed suicide 9 years ago or so It kinda broke my heart even though I had not thought of him for years and years.
6Jonathan Brandis : ' ( Absolutely LOVED him in ladybugs.
7Johnny Depp, mainly because I wanted to be Winona Ryder
Christian Slater, John Cusack, Eric Stoltz
8Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio (oh how I used to love Titanic and Romeo and Juliet). Kirk Cameron could have been the first - I remember writing a fan letter to him in like 4th grade for a school project!
Never had posters of anyone up on my walls though.
9Devon Sawa, and my first date with my first boyfriend we saw Gladiator so Russell Crowe too
10Davey Jones of the Monkees (in my defense I was still several years away from being a teen then), and then David Cassidy on the Partridge Family. GEEZ, I am OLD.
I actually once went out with a guy for several months in college just because he looked like David Cassidy.
11Leonardo DiCaprio (from his days on Growing Pains!) and Jordan from NKOTB.
12Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. I was in love with Leonardo DiCaprio the first time I saw him on Growing Pains. Oh, Luke.
13JTT, Andrew Keegan, Devon Sawa, Jonathan Brandis, the Backstreet Boys...
14Mark-Paul Gosselar!
15Every single member of either INXS or Def Leppard, depending on my mood that day.
16Johnny Depp all the way! And Corey Haim.
17JTT!!!!!!!!!!
18John Taylor from Duran Duran.
19When I was 6 I was in love with Tom Cruise... which makes sense, cos we were probably about the same height at that time!
Once I outgrew Tommy Girl, my obsessions were Joey McIntyre, Jason Priestley, then Will Smith.
In 1994 I discovered Billy Corgan, and he's been my favourite heartthrob ever since
20None when I was actually a teen but in elementary, it was all about BSB(A.J.)and Nsync(Justin). I also loved Jason from the Power Rangers and Sean's brother from boy meets world (I forget the guy who played him).
21Ooh and Usher
22Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jonathan Brandis & Leonardo DiCaprio. Funny I ended up with a guy with dark brown hair.. clearly I had a thing for blondes growing up...
23Stephan Jenkins, Paul Rudd, Jesse Bradford, Mark Ruffalo. Yes, there is very much a pattern here!
24Oh so many!
Like Freddie Prinze and Ryan Philippe and Heath Ledger and James Dean and Hayden Christensen and Marlon Brando and Brandon Lee.
I would usually daydream about having all of them as my boyfriends, and them being okay with it. I didn't want it to be unfair in my head, you know? lol
25Leo and Brad Renfro. I LOVED Brad Renfro
26JTT!
I was borderline obsessed with him.
27I was in LOVEEEEE with Orlando Bloom. Like, creepily in love with him ... I had wall-to-wall posters and was just nuts for him.
Not a great actor outside of his niche role, but oh he's a yummy hunk of a man ..
28Lets see, real boys, Johnathon Brandis, Leo, Michael J Fox, N Sync. . .
Girls, Winona Ryder, Christina Rici.
I drooled more over anime than anything else. Sage, Rowen, Anubis, Cye, Kale (Ronin Warriors), Nuriko and Tasuki (Fushigi Yugi). . . those were my heartthrobs. Poster everywhere.
29Back then my heart throb was Marky Mark. Today it's Mark Wahlberg.
30J.T.T. all the way! I was a die hard fan of Home Improvement because of him! And, like sarahcateh, I too was a bit obsessed with him
31I loved Leonardo DiCaprio when I was growing up. Seeing him in Titanic and Romeo + Juliet brings back so much nostalgia.
32Johnny Depp and River Phoenix
33James Dean, Montgomery Clift & a younger, beard-less Joaquin Phoenix
34these answers really show people's ages!!!!!!!!
35Joe McIntyre I LOVED! Still do. I think he has aged well
And I used to have a big crush on Kirk Cameron but his fundamental christian views have turned me off. *sigh*
36Luke Perry
37When I was 11 the first lord of the rings movie came out and I had a huge crush on Orlando Bloom.

41Devon Sawa, Nick Carter, Jonathon Brandis

46Christian Bale in Little Women, Swing Kids, etc
47Mark Wahlberg in Fear
Patrick Swayze in nearly everything he did
And yes, I liked Tom Cruise in Top Gun
brad pitt used to be hot..lol "used to be"
48JTT!! I was in LOVE with him!
49Oh, I was a huge teeny bopper, I can admit it now and look back and laugh. And I do laugh! Definitely JTT, Leo, BSB, Devon Sawa, Jason David Frank (Tommy from The Power Rangers), Jonathon Brandis, Matthew Laurence (Shawn's brother from Boy Meets World),Brian Austin Green, Heath Ledger, Trent Reznor....on so many. I'm such a sucker for a handsome face. I still have crushes now, Alexander Skarsgard for example.
