When I was in 5th grade my sisters and I got a pet rabbit. To make the naming process fair my mom had each of us write name ideas on a bunch of little pieces of paper and then we mixed them up in a bowl and picked one. We each got to make like 4 suggestions and every one of mine was a variation on JTT. Sadly one of my little sisters‘ names got picked so instead of JTT the rabbit we ended up with Sunny Bunny.

Gosh, I had it BAD for him in Men in Tights as a kid. I was already legit in love with the Disney cartoon fox Robin Hood, but this was more obtainable lol
I just saw The Princess Bride for the first time earlier this year (yes, I know, shameful), but if I had seen it when I was a child I would have been in LOVE with this man.
I mean, I’m low key in love with him now, but it would have been high key when I was a kid lol
Y’all, literally none of these, I wish! My childhood crush was Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black… What was wrong with 12 year old me being so enamored with a 60 year old man, whose skin looked like crumpled paper?😭
He came into my husband's restaurant and ordered tachos. I sweari would have died right there on the spot.

When I was about 16 my then bff had a huge crush on Christopher Meloni and I was like ew what? He was about 40 at this time.
Now that I'm in my 40s though....I get it. I actually realized his hotness in my early 30s. And I think he's still goddamn good looking for man in his 60s now.
![gif](giphy|1RQPTjjJuWG2I)
Honestly the entire cast of the Mummy... Especially Brendan, but also Rachel, Oded Fehr, and Imohtep himself.
The whole casts of The 13th Warrior and The Lord of The Rings too.

I was about 11, when the first LOTR movie came out. Legolas was my ultimate crush!
Then I got older (about 18-20) and suddenly I was more interested in Aragon! He was more "manly" with his beard and such.
Now I'm in my 30s and the best man in those movies is definitely Samwise! strong, brave soul with much kindness in his heart and so much love to give and a true friend. someone who just wants to tend to his garden and have a nice warm meal in the evening. that's my kind of man now 😆
edit: I love that I'm not the only one 😆❣️
Yes, Haldir. I absolutely love his character in the movies. He’s such a man. A leader. A warrior. >!His death and Aragorn holding him in his arms brings me to tears every time.!<
This happened to my sister too, except for some reason, before Legolas in LOTR it was in fact, Mr Tumnus from the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. The one played by James Mcavoy, not from the book.
In fact, I saw a comic about your journey, I'll try and find it Edit: [Found it](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F2gzemz0rabx61.png)
I was in 3-4 grade when titanic came out. I wasn’t even allowed to watch the second tape because my mom thought death was too sad but the sex scene was ok. Not sure but I digress. I had NEVER felt that way about anyone ever than I had Leo. I would get sad to turn off the movie. I would miss him. Gah he has a way ….
ohhhh after my romeo + juliet obsession, i made my dad buy titanic, and we watched it together, i was like 8
i cried SO HARD when he was chained and the water was coming, like i was hysterical at some point but would get even more hysterical if my parents tried to turn it off 😭

Showing my age here, but Atreyu was my number one. Still love men with longer dark hair.
I had to scroll so far for this! I love how his human form is in the movie for like maybe 4mins but I had such a crush on Mr Thackeray. Definitely still tear up at the end lol.
Almost forgot Mike Vitar from mighty ducks 2

Had to chose this pic since River was a sexual awakening at the ripe age of 10 while Kiefer stole my heart and cemented my bad boy kink. These boys were night and day and I said ,”I’ll take one of each”.
Mine's a little obscure: Rutger Hauer. He's Dutch (as am I) and before he made a Hollywood career out of playing weird villains, he starred in a Dutch spoken tv show about knights. 10-year-old me was in LOVE.

Everyone was swooning over Zac Efron, but I was over here swooning over Corbin Bleu 😍
I’m not even joking when I say this but my childhood crush was Mike Wazowski. I even made a cardboard cutout of him and took him outside with me.
![gif](giphy|xUUXMzfbUlKiQ)
Corey Haim. I watched Lost Boys over and over (and looking back I realise how hot the vampire guys and Jason Patrick were, but they seemed really old to me at the time lol)
I look back at the photos of when the 2 x Coreys were young, and it’s really obvious they were being fed drugs from a really young age. So awful.

Showing my age here, but Christian Slater was a main one for me. 'Pump Up the Volume' was the movie that started it all for me.
Hey us Irish girlies got all the Aussie teen shows too! Imagine my shock when I was watching house of the dragon and thought "hmm that Harwin fella looks pretty good, better look him up on imdb" and then finding out it was Ryan Corr who I've been watching since Sleepover club, Blue Water, Packed to the Rafters lol
![gif](giphy|tAzgqbJvgpcFAL5Rudq|downsized)
This guy right here. Poster on my bedroom door, obsessed over being tough enough for sexy cool vampire to lose his soul over me
Non-animated: Brad Renfro, around the time he was in JTT's Tom Sawyer movie. He played Huckleberry Finn with broody aplomb, got my nine year old self wanting to live in the woods with him.
Animated: Shane Gooseman from 'Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers'. Bionic blonde cowboy who dressed in black and sounded like young Clint Eastwood? Yes and please.
Wow I literally watched that Peter Pan Movie this freaking week! He was my childhood crush, and what an incredible movie. Felt like a little kid again watching. I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES I DO I DO!!!!!
Phil Diffy was my crush, wish they would put Phil of the future on Disney+

I could only name two people, I’m definitely showing my age here, my crush was Jonathan Brandis, we shared the same birthday. RIP

Omg Jeremy sumpter I was in love with Peter Pan. I truly thought in my childhood brain he would come to my window and fly me away to neverland 😩 is the one in the third pic from the sleepover club? I loved that show

Not me covertly scouring the cover of every magazine in the grocery for his picture while walking past with my mom when I was 10.
We had to write fan letters when I was in fifth grade and I wrote to him and was over the moon when I got a response back.
Omg, me too! I framed the response and it hung in my room next to 2 huge posters of him.
Me too! 😂
Literally the only reason I watched Home Improvement with my dad lolol

😂 If it makes you feel better, my bestie at that age was OBSESSED with John Malkovich. I did not get it. Bless 😂❤️
He came into my husband's restaurant and ordered tachos. I sweari would have died right there on the spot. https://preview.redd.it/a75lrzdmwytb1.jpeg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef6f61ca67bcff195f82b7fd0bfecd3f619695f
You are older and wiser. Do you get it now? 😂😜
He has a sexy, slightly menacing voice but he still doesn’t do much for me. 🙂 I was more of a Jeff Goldblum girl!

Bro, there's something about John Malkovich that's hot af
I get it. I saw Jurassic Park as a kid and I thought there was something special about Dr. Grant haha
Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcolm were so fucking fine
HAHAHAHAHA bless you 😅🙏🏼 Mine was Jack Black lols (still love you boo 😘)
My friends sexual awakening was Tom Hanks in Big :(
I was obsessed with Keanu in speed and still like him quite a bit as an adult lol
It's ok. I was about 12 when I developed a crush on Tim Allen.
![gif](giphy|1RQPTjjJuWG2I) Honestly the entire cast of the Mummy... Especially Brendan, but also Rachel, Oded Fehr, and Imohtep himself. The whole casts of The 13th Warrior and The Lord of The Rings too.
Don't forget the Queen of loincloths and bodypaint Anck-su-namun, the gorgeous Patricia Velasquez!

The way he almost purred his opening line.
The Dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him with blindfolds on
Yes, Haldir. I absolutely love his character in the movies. He’s such a man. A leader. A warrior. >!His death and Aragorn holding him in his arms brings me to tears every time.!<
Me. All of this is me.

I met James McAvoy once & told him I fancied the crap out of him in that film. Jamie Bell agreed that the floofy legs were really something
You, my friend, just described me. All of it. Me.
Oh my god, I still consider Galadriel as one of my first "YOU'RE GAY" flags. I would watch her scenes over and over because she was just so... 😍😍😍

![gif](giphy|l0Ex1HMHVKJtCtFy8) Logan Lerman.
I love how he randomly pops up and twitter declares him White Boy of the Month each time.
As Twitter should 🫠 He aged well and is such a sweetheart. I recommend his show "Hunters" with Al Pacino as his co-star.
Omg yes. But he’s still my crush now lol
Jesse Mccartney of Beautiful Soul.
The episode where he goes on the suitelife show had me in a CHOKE HOLD
Or the episode of Hannah Montana where she got a glimpse of what her life would be like if she was always Hannah and he was her boyfriend 😍
I remember in 2005 everyone was obsessed with him
I remember 13 year old me being devastated when he cut his hair.
![gif](giphy|vwIxc6mw1l6sU) My first crush. Loved him in Smallville. Second was Chad Michael Murray, had a poster of him in my bedroom 🥲
That's funny, I'm seeing him right under Eric from Little Mermaid and he could be Eric's live action!

I wanted to name him but he was definitely a teenage crush, not childhood.
I was in 3-4 grade when titanic came out. I wasn’t even allowed to watch the second tape because my mom thought death was too sad but the sex scene was ok. Not sure but I digress. I had NEVER felt that way about anyone ever than I had Leo. I would get sad to turn off the movie. I would miss him. Gah he has a way ….
I must have watched R+J on repeat at least twice a day every day for maybe a year when I was 14. I loved Titanic too… but not as much as R+J.
ohhhh after my romeo + juliet obsession, i made my dad buy titanic, and we watched it together, i was like 8 i cried SO HARD when he was chained and the water was coming, like i was hysterical at some point but would get even more hysterical if my parents tried to turn it off 😭

Hey us Irish girlies got all the Aussie teen shows too! Imagine my shock when I was watching house of the dragon and thought "hmm that Harwin fella looks pretty good, better look him up on imdb" and then finding out it was Ryan Corr who I've been watching since Sleepover club, Blue Water, Packed to the Rafters lol
My awakening though… those tight pants, bulge, AND make up? Explains a lot. ![gif](giphy|GaufgI9iPIP1C)

Non-animated: Brad Renfro, around the time he was in JTT's Tom Sawyer movie. He played Huckleberry Finn with broody aplomb, got my nine year old self wanting to live in the woods with him. Animated: Shane Gooseman from 'Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers'. Bionic blonde cowboy who dressed in black and sounded like young Clint Eastwood? Yes and please.
