This Was The Biggest Celebrity Crush The Year You Were Born

This man was (is) a regulation hottie. Before he was wooing Julia Robert’s escort character in Pretty Woman, he played an escort himself, per TIME. His role in American Gigolo offers up all the shirtless Richard you could ever want.

One of this year's biggest releases was Diana's disco bop, "I'm Coming Out." According to Billboard the song was number 1, which may explain why it still plays at every single party...no complaints from me.

Harrison’s Indiana Jones (and that whip) was the stuff of sex dreams, and you know it. According to IMDb, Raiders of the Lost Ark raked in the hundreds of millions this year—and Harrison raked in the hearts.

Heather as the wealthy Sammy Jo Dean Carrington on Dynasty, which premiered this year, according to IMDb, solidified her position as the ultimate crush of the year. Her character's cool clothes and good looks kept her fans coming back for more.

Paving the way for sexy slackers everywhere, Sean broke hearts in this year’s hit film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, per Entertainment Weekly. Anyone else mentally running their fingers through those blond locks?

Sean’s co-star, Pheobe, got a lot of love after Fast Times, too. I mean did you see that pool scene? Phoebe emerges from the water in a red bikini, and despite the scene playing in slow motion, I’d bet many a VHS tapes were destroyed by overzealous rewinding.

This is the year many had to reckon with their feelings as Dr. Philip Chandler of St. Elsewhere (a.k.a. Denzel) got married. Yeah, he and Pauletta had a beautiful marriage, but what about us, huh? This was the actor's second year on the show, according to IMDb.

Scarface might have been Michelle’s breakthrough role and a box office success, per Vulture, but it was also, more importantly, her breakthrough as an '80s goddess. Michelle’s debut was a gift to us all, and thankfully, it’s still giving.

This was the year Prince blessed the world’s ears with his Purple Rain soundtrack, which didn’t budge from the top of the charts for 24 weeks, according to Billboard. The High Priest of Pop starred in, performed, and wrote the music for the film, for which he won an Oscar. Was there anything he couldn’t do?

Madge took "girl next door" to a whole new level with the release of “Like a Virgin,” according to Billboard. A lot of us would have found a way to make “it through the wilderness” that year just to get to the Material Girl.

Emilio’s fans would have had him for breakfast in 1985 (and long after) for the way he served up those good looks in The Breakfast Club. Emilio played Andrew Clark, the high school jock with a tough father, according to IMDb. And he made everyone who watched him suddenly desperate for detention.

Ugh, the curls, the voice, THE SMILE. Whitney’s “How Will I Know,” which dropped this year and topped the charts, according to Billboard, is the jam. If you didn’t dance around to it imagining Whitney was singing it about you, you listened to the song wrong.

If you were born in the year of Tom Cruise in Top Gun, I salute you. Tom played a hot fighter pilot with an ego and a killer volleyball spike, according to The Washington Post. This role solidified his position as an eternal heartthrob.

This was the year of Control, Janet’s third album, according to the Los Angeles Times. This album marked her success in pop independent of her family’s fame. People really saw Janet this year.

That edgy 5 o’clock shadow, the earring, and the leather jacket, I mean… George Michael earned his spot as this year’s crush for his masterful thirst-trapping in the “Faith” music video, per IMDb. If you’re not convinced, just know the attraction is so strong, it was passed down to me from my mom.

It was pretty much impossible to not fall in love with Christina’s Kelly Bundy on Married… with Children. Her character made her debut this year, according to IMDb. She was ditzy, charming, and gorgeous.

I mean, he played a prince, so everyone was all about Eddie’s character in the box-office-hit Coming to America, per The Hollywood Reporter. Eddie defied the odds for comedians when he found himself the object of all the crushes, and his work after this film only earned him more heart eyes.

TBH, how is anyone supposed to resist such voluminous hair and Cindy’s beauty mark? And then there was that Playboy cover which every teenager inevitably stored under the bed for “safekeeping.” It came out this year, according to Town & Country.

“The Hoff” ran across the beach in slow motion for the first time this year when Baywatch (or, should I say bae-watch?) premiered, according to BBC. Luckily, he played a lifeguard because everyone who watched him needed some saving from their feels.

Saved By the Bell premiered this year, according to People, and set off a whole lot of sexual frustration. Everyone on the show is good-looking, but Kelly Kapowski, played by Tiffany, was a standout. You either wanted her or wanted to be her.
