Celebrity crushes are as old as time — everyone has had one or more in their lifetimes, and I currently have my eyes on Tom Ellis and Idris Elba. Why have one when you can have multiple? It's a free world, people, and even freer when it's just your imagination.
However, this article is for a trip down memory lane and remembering the hotshots that were all the rage for Gen X.
