Having a childhood crush on a celebrity is just a part of growing up. Everyone had one, and it’s funny to reminisce about who they were specifically.
Redditoru/Israel_Hindeyarecentlyaskedthe people of Reddit, “Which celebrity did you have the hots for when you were young?” Maybe one of these was yours, too:
1.“Edward Furlong. We hadTerminator 2on VHS, and I watched it so many times. When I watched it again as a much older adult, he looked like a fetus.”
