It’s far from uncommon to develop a crush on a celebrity. In fact, many people’s first crush will end up being someone that they’ve come to admire on their favorite TV show, or movie, or in their favorite band. Of course, the older we get, the more likely we are to develop crushes on people in our own life — i.e., people we can actually develop relationships with. But that certainly doesn’t mean that these celebrity crushes have to stop.
With more content available than ever before, it seems like there is no shortage of celebrities to admire and feast our eyes upon. We’re no longer stuck watching or listening to the same few stars, as performers can now enjoy recognition across various platforms and outlets. This also means that there are more choices to satisfy every taste — whether that be a preference in everything from genres to individual performers.
It’s never a bad idea to see what type of qualities we find attractive when looking for a partner — which is really all we're doing when crushing on a celebrity anyway. But could who we’re attracted to also tell us something about ourselves? Let’s play marry or divorce with these famous guys to find out!
