Billy Whitehead - we were five years old playing 'kiss chase' in the playground and I thought he was the most beautiful boy in the world; so much so that here I am sixty years later and I have never forgotten him. We moved house when I was seven and I never saw him again.
The ITN newscaster Huw Thomas. I fell for him when I was 14, decided I was going to London when I was 20 to marry him............then when I was about 16 he got married, how could he? I still worshipped him for many years, even after he retired from TV.
I had a photo of Gil Favour ( again from Laramie) on my wall. I was about 14 I think. My most serious crush was on a teacher at art school. I still think about him, although I heard he died recently.
Although I liked most of those already mentioned my first big crush was Dirk Bogarde (well I didn’t know he was gay then did I?) But also Adam and Elvis ohhh-er
My first crush was my ballet teacher, when I was about 11. Also, at a distance, Margot Fonteyn. Yes, they were female. I didn’t know many boys outside the family apart from my elder brother’s friends who were callow youths, and didn’t impress me at all. I went to girls’ schools from the age of eight. I am too old for all the people mentioned by others here. We didn’t have television then, and I never went to films.
Dirk Bogarde for me too Bluebelle. I saw all his films and had pictures of him all over my bedroom wall. I didn't believe he was gay. He was waiting to meet ME!!
Well I think that I am a lot older than most of the posters on here and my first crush was Tommy Steele. I was a proud member of his fan club.
That was until Elvis came into my life and boy, did I love him! I had a beautiful, full colour picture of him on the wall next to my bed and I kissed him goodnight every night. That was until my Dad decided to decorate my room one day and I came home to find the wallpaper - and Elvis - all stripped and thrown out!
Funny how the crush feelings subside with age! (But I still love Elvis's voice)
Oh, Mary was it Eric Stewart from 10cc? I only recently watched the "I'm Not In Love" video and thought "Hello, how did I not see you before?" He was just the sort of bloke that I would have gone for in the past. (He's none too shabby now!) So cute..........
Sadly he really hasn't aged well and I wouldn't look twice now but my bedroom walls were covered in pics of David McCallum in his Man from U.N.C.L.E. days
