Who was your teen dream?

editor

There comes a point in your young life that you realize that your celebrity crush is never going to ask you out, so you gingerly take his or her poster off your wall, replace it with some art, and move on with your life. You grow up, get a job, maybe a real life romantic interest and the past is history. Still, you never quite forget that first love, even if the affair only existed between you and a pillow (ahem). That's why we decided to launch this round up of ex-poster boys (and girls!) in order to take a nostalgic little saunter back to the days when making out with Scott Baio was just a fantasy away. (Christ on a cracker what was I thinking?) Then you tell us: Who did you want to rip off your wall, and then like, rip off their clothes?

Johnny Depp

Even with his teen acne and baby fat, there was something about Johnny’s eyes that convinced me he’d grow up to be the hottest guy in the world. I think we can all agree that this prophecy has truly been fulfilled.

    Leonardo Dicaprio. I also love Mark-Paul Gosselar from Saved by the Bell. But Leo is in my heart forever!

    I had it bad for David Hasseloff in Knight Rider, Johnny Depp of course, Pierce Brosnon in Reminton Steel. Now i'm an adult of 31 years and i still have crushes. Hugh Jackman who stars as Wolverine, everytime i see him i want to rip his clothes off. Vin Deisel, Damn i want to eat him up everytime i see him half clothed. Last but not least Gerard Butler who stars in 300, Damn he makes my mouth water.

    Johnny Depp is so NOT HOT. I'll never figure out the fascination with him. I used have crushes on Ricky Schroeder and Chris Atkins. In college I still developed a celebrity crush - Ewan McGregor - and I haven't let go of this one yet!
