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.

    It was, and always will be Rick Springfield!!!To this day this man is talented and super HOT. I still go to every concert of his I can. I think he is better now than he was in the 80s. I also am going on the RS and friends cruise next month with all my Rick chicks! The difference between now and when i was a teen? I have a bigger bank account!
