We all had that one celebrity growing up who made us instantly light up, maybe it was the way they smiled, the way they moved, or how they rocked a stage or a screen. And guess what? Even the stars aren’t immune to a good ol’ crush.
Just recently, Selena Gomez revealed on the BIG3 podcast that Ice Cube was actually her childhood celebrity crush. The unexpected confession had fans buzzing, and Cube? He took it in stride, laughing and saying, “Look, I had my crushes growing up, too. Vanity.” He even admitted he had about four childhood crushes, but Vanity, the glamorous lead singer of Vanity 6, clearly left a lasting impression.
It’s wild to think about who we used to plaster all over our bedroom walls or dream about marrying after seeing them in a movie or music video. From posters to playlists, these crushes felt like a rite of passage.
Now it’s your turn! Who was your ultimate celebrity crush growing up, and be honest, do you still have a soft spot for them? Drop it in the comments.
