- ( Ok, so did i get that song stuck in anyone else's head ? )Do you remember your first celebrity crush? The one where you were ( most probably ) in primary school and you thought it was actually plausible that you would meet said hot celebrity and they would fall madly in love with you? Even though, in reality, you were probably at least a good decade younger than them? I do, and all those memories of the first sweet blush of celebrity-lovin' came rushing back to me this weekend after a conversation with our soon to be ex neighbours.
Imagine, if you will, me chilling out the front with two pre-teen girls, one 9 years old and the other 11. The conversation may have involved the words 'cute' , ' totally hot ' and ' oh my god, i just love them all! '.... the them in question being One Direction. Apparently, when you are 9 years old, One Direction are just the bees knees and it is quite acceptable to write your name as Mrs A. Tomlinson/Styles/Malik all over your school books. ( Or not, because her mum told her off for it ). I had read all about the One Direction phemonenon in trashy mags and seen it on morning television, of course, it was just fun to see one of my little acquaintances so in love with the idea of ( unrequited ) love. I thought i was all cool and hip asking whether they had posters of Justin Beiber aswell, only to be informed that he's ugly. And a player. Way to show your age Amy....Which brings me back to my original question - do you remember your first celebrity crush? Because I remember mine.... at the tender age of 6 years old, i wrote my celebrity crush a fan letter. I dont remember exactly what i wrote but it probably went something along the lines of " You are so cute and i love you and i watch you on the television all the time and one day, when i grow up, i'm going to marry you! '. And, in all probability, i had to get my mum to help me write it because thats quite a lot to say when you're only 6 ( how. embarrassing. ). Its also quite young to have your tiny little heart broken when said celebrity crush does NOT write back with a proposal of marriage.
So... Johnny Depp, if you're reading this, its not too late - I am off the market for marriage, but a declaration of your undying love, however late it may be, would go a long way to healing my broken 6 year old heart....
And guess what? Its IBOT over at EssentiallyJess!

Love. Nothing changes. I think I am going to meet Tom Hiddleston and we are going to fall in love (even though I am very happily married to Dadabs. Plus, here's the real kicker, I'm 12 years older than him.
ReplyDeleteAah vintage Johnny Depp - 21 Jump St helped me through many a lonely Saturday night back in the day.
I can't say I'd steal Tom Hiddleston from you but his on screen brother? Yes, please, I'll have me some Chris Hemsworth!
DeleteOh yes I had a crush on Johnny Depp too. He was hot! And still is. I've had many a crush from the embarrassing New Kids on the Block (I really did think I was going to marry Jordan), right through to Jon Bon Jovi who I still crush for!
ReplyDeleteJon Bon Jovi's voice does it for me. Nice choice :)
DeleteYep, I still remember my first few! Hobie from Baywatch was the first one, followed by JTT from Home Improvement and Jonathan Brandis who was on Seaquest DSV. Man I loved that show! iPad also crushing rather hard on Dean Cain in the New Adventures of Lois & Clark when I was in year 6!.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add #teamIBOT was here!
DeleteOh my god Kylez.... I think you and I would have been best friends in school! I also loved JTT and when everyone else was crushing on Dieter Brummer I loved Dean Cain....
DeleteMine was Michael J Fox, I had posters everywhere. Sigh. I'm so glad he is still widely known as a nice guy cause its still easy to love him!
ReplyDeleteAww... Doesn't every little girl want the nice guy?
DeleteHa ha! Love it! I was convinced I was going to marry Taylor Hanson, and the best thing was, he was around my age as well!!
ReplyDeleteMy nine year old is quite the One Direction fan, but I havent heard any marriage declarations yet.
Oh Jess.... I had to laugh at Taylor Hanson! My best friend loooooooved him but he was never my thing...
DeleteOH Johnny Depp was TOTALLY one of mine. When I was mid teens I was obsessed with Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. Oh the memories...
ReplyDeleteEddie Vedder is another one who's voice is a turn on...
DeleteHaha! Jonny depp! I didn't get into him till he was quite a bit older, and I can't for the life of me think who my first celebrity crush would have been!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad to see you came to your senses and 'got' Johnny Depp, even if you were a but late!
DeleteMine was TOTALLY Johnny, 21 Jump Street. I bet he looks back and laughs at his works!
ReplyDeleteHe probably cringes!
DeleteWell sadly I just knew I was going to marry Astroboy, never mind he was a cartoon!
ReplyDeleteAs far as cartoons go, my mum has a thing for Disney's Tarzan....
DeleteJess would have had to fight me off because Taylor (or Tay as I called him) was totally going to be my man! I was a freak over him.
ReplyDeleteNow-a-days I would take Johnny Depp any day!
You cant- Johnny is all mine!
Deletemmm johnny depp, I cant say I can remember my very first crush, but i can tell you there were a LOT of them! And yes i honestly believed if I wrote to them then I would be the love of their life, tho I never wrote to them! Johnny Depp definitely was one of my crushes, even today!
