Redditors Admit Who Their Celebrity Childhood Crushes Are In A Subreddit Thread

Everyone has that one celebrity crush from childhood, the kind that sticks around long after the posters come down. A Reddit thread recently tapped into that exact feeling, and the answers quickly turned into a nostalgia trip.

People chimed in with actors, singers, and movie stars they once adored, while others admitted their choices were a little embarrassing in hindsight. The thread also brought out plenty of shared memories, from poster-covered walls to the crushes that seemed obvious to everyone else.

Some names kept coming up again and again, and a few replies sparked extra debate. Read on.

The question came from this Redditor

There were many who answered Natalie Portman, whether it was from Attack of the Clones

Mr-Sister-Fister21

Or Phantom Menace; either way, she was great in both.

That answer showed up more than once.

Some couldn’t even choose one since most of the actors mentioned were in many movies at that time.

There were women who shared their cringe-worthy stories about fangirling.

Others comforted those who were mortified by their actions.

Plenty of people were happy to admit they were not exactly subtle about it.

This was somehow a common opinion.

Is it the ears? Or is it just the vibe?

Someone tried to provide further insight into this discussion, and it’s up to you to agree or not.

That debate clearly did not end there.

It’s also like a friend ditching concert plans because they prioritized a new crush.

Superheroes were in the best shape and always good-looking.

Sandy certainly showed versatility in how she was portrayed in Grease.

It’s inevitable to not have an actor or actress pique your interest the more you watch movies and TV shows. The people in the thread might have been glad to see others share the same answers, while some sparked controversial entries.

Did this thread make you think about your own celebrity crush? Are they one of the answers from the Redditors too?

Some crushes really never leave the group chat.
