In honor of the acne pit that is my face after returning from Ireland, I thought I would do a post in homage to one of my biggest pre-teen/adolescent crushes of all time. Let’s be honest, I’d still probably be speechless if I ran into him on the street. I give you…. Jonathan Taylor Thomas aka JTT/Randy Taylor:
Edward Cullen has NOTHING on that hairstyle. Oh lord, that jawline and those lips. SWOON.
JTT was the main reason I watched Home Improvement. Now I can look back and appreciate that show’s comedic value. At the time though, my priorities were a tad different. I merely tolerated the tool humor just to catch a glimpse of my favorite Taylor son.
A poster much like this one graced my wall:
He’s not quite as clean cut and baby-faced as he used to be, but I still think he’s more than acceptable these days.
Who were the objects of your teenage affection? Perhaps we should make a series of these…
I had the worst luck! Neil Patrick Harris, Jonathan Brandis, Devon Sawa, Matthew Lawrence, and Lance Bass. Gay, suicide, meth-head, burn-out, gay.
Aw, I loved JTT! I was so sad when he left Home Improvement.
The guys who graced my wall were Ryan Gosling, JTT, Leo (the aquarium pic..*swoon*), Nick Carter, Mark Hoppus, and Devon Sawa.
Oh Becca, all the good ones, right?
Crystal, the first time Rusty and I ever made out was totally during the Leo-fishtank scene. I was JUST talking with him about the fact that I had a giant Blink poster on my wall for years and drooled over Mark Hoppus.
I love that you both mentioned Devon Sawa. Swoon.
JTT was adorable. I guess I was a little too old to have a crush on him though.
I did love Mark Paul Gosselar a.k.a. Zack Morris who is now on Franklin and Bash and just as cute as he was back then. Also, Luke Perry, Johnny Depp, Jordan Knight and some rockstars.
Let’s see who I can remember.
JTT for sure. I was so sad when he had that medical scare on Home Improvement.
AC Slater (Mario Lopez) on Saved by the Bell
Lance Bass and Brian Littrell
I made a poster collage of guys I liked out of Teen Bop, etc magazines but I can’t remember who all I put on it.
How could you NOT have liked Devon Sawa then?! I mean Little Giants, Casper, and Now & Then..SO cute!
I was a bit old for JTT but I loved Leo (snaps for the aquarium pic mention Crystal!), Johnny Depp, and Will Smith. Oh and I also had a huge thing for Jason Priestley, he was such a boy scout on 90210!
Dude…I STILL have a thing for Will Smith. He is seriously on my “sexiest men alive” list. I honestly think he’s gotten better with age.
HOW could I have forgotten Johnny and Will?! They weren’t on my wall but I LOVE them!
I kid you not, Johnny and Peter Jennings were my first ever crushes. I was enthralled by Johnny on 21 Jump Street and I was barely 5 years old. I would always kiss the tv when Peter Jennings was signing off the news as well.
OMG! I was soo in love with JTT! He was the first guy I got posters of and my brother used to steal it and run around pretending he was going to rip it up into little pieces and it would GREATLY upset me! I also had huge crushes on Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Mario Lopez (although I do still think they are both pretty easy on the eyes!)
