I am very excited to have Allie from Tales of a Twenty Something guest hosting Throwback Thursday for the month of February.  Allie is a fellow North Carolinian.

Throwback:
It's February (in case you didn't know). The month of LOVE. So, I figured why not share some of my childhood crushes.

The first person I can remember having a crush on was Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
My family always watched him on Home Improvement. I also loved the fact that he voiced Simba in The Lion King, but was disappointed to find out that he was not Simba's singing voice. Who doesn't love a man that can sing?


The crush I remember being most obsessive with was Leonardo Dicaprio

I loved (still do) the movie Titanic from the first time I saw it and I quickly became obsessed with Leo. If he was in a magazine, I was going to own it. I had two Titanic posters on my wall and a Titanic tshirt. Unfortunately, my parents wouldn't allow me to see most of the movies Leo was in when I was younger. I did see What's Eating Gilbert Grape and I've seen others since I've gotten older. I used to love watching Growing Pains when it was on Disney Channel and my favorite episodes where the ones that Leo guest starred in. I'm not going to lie, I still enjoy a Leonardo Dicaprio movie. 

All 90s girls had to have their favorite Backstreet Boy and their favorite NSYNC member. I was more of a BSB girl and I loved Nick Carter. I also had my favorite NSYNC member. I liked Lance Bass.

Some other crushworthy boys from my childhood:

Rider Strong
The childhood "bad boy" crush


Matthew Lawrence
Thank you Disney Channel for 2 shows and a movie with Matthew


Josh Hartnett
This one came thanks to Pearl Harbor


David Gallagher
90s shows were the best


Devon Sawa
Who didn't wish he'd been in more of Casper?!? Was he in anything else?


Heath Ledger
RIP
 

Ryan Gosling
Did anyone else watch Young Hercules?


The Red Power Ranger
My mom liked the Green/White ranger, but I was more a fan of the red.


I think we 90s girls liked the swoopy hair. 

Who were some of your childhood crushes?

I remember how all the girls were freaking out over Leo when "Titanic" came out. We were aboute eleven, so you were "cool" if you somehow got into the theater to see it.

I love this! I wasn't planning to comment until I reached the pic of Devon Sawa and your comment. Thank you! So glad I wasn't the only one who wished for more of him in that movie. Should I admit that I watched it the first time simply because I knew he was in it? Ah, the memories. :D

Just became your newest follower! :)
