teamturner Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Anyone heard of him? He was the British actor who played Romeo in Romeo and Julliet the one that was directed by Franco Zeffirelli (sp?) in 1968. I had many other crushes of course but he is the one I remember the most. Of course by the time I saw the movie the first time in 9th grade he was by then in his 30's. :D Oh, and I had a big crush on Rob Lowe! St. Elmos Fire!!!!!!!

Robin in Tx Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 As a teenager, all my crushes were on real life acquaintances :), but as a younger child/adolescent I was madly in loved with Davy Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I never had a crush and younger/teen celebs. I went straight for the 30 somethings.;) Oh, yeah! That is my man. Then by my late teens I discovered an older Sean Connery. I sat and drooled during the 3rd Indy movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Springfield, John Stamos (the General Hospital version, not the Full House version), Tom Cruise, Edward Norton (but I knew him personally and he was not famous at the time,) Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran...

I don't know him anymore. We knew each other in high school. He is a year older than me. We took acting classes together and did a couple of shows together. I remember him helping me study for the Maryland Functional Citizenship (or some such nonsense) test during stage rehearsals for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. "How many years is a US Senator's term?" and that kind of stuff. Real romantic, but at least he was talking to me. He was a very nice guy. I don't know if he was shy because I was so painfully shy that no one else seemed shy to me. He was incredibly smart and generous and cute. And he is also very funny. And when we saw Sweeney Todd in the local theater, he held my hand through the scary parts. And he hugged me when we went to see a play about a concentration camp, and I was very freaked out. All right, I will stop now. I sound like a teenager, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
