The celebrity crushes who had our little hearts in a chokehold.

There is just something about having a celebrity crush that makes you feel like the girliest girl in the world. I’m talking about sitting around with your girlfriends, discussing your crushes like you’re in a full-blown relationship with these men. Everybody is taking turns claiming their celebrity crush, explaining why he’s the finest man to ever walk the earth, and defending their pick like there’s a whole prize at the end of the conversation. And if two girls happened to like the SAME guy? Oh, baby, it was time for rock, paper, scissors! Because apparently, whoever won got custody of the celebrity crush. Tell me that isn’t the cutest thing ever!

And can we talk about having your celebrity crush as your laptop wallpaper?! Listen, that was a serious commitment. Every time you opened your laptop, there he was, looking fine as ever, ready to brighten up your entire day. You’d change your wallpaper every now and then, but that man was definitely making a comeback. You couldn’t tell me anything! It was the little things that made having a crush so much fun: saving pictures, watching interviews, rewatching your favorite movies just to see him, and daydreaming about a relationship that existed exclusively in your imagination. GIRL, we were in love!

Now, if we’re talking about the boys who had MY little heart, we have to start with Chad Michael Murray in A Cinderella Story. HELLO?! The hair, the smile, the way he looked at Sam at the end of that movie? I was SOLD. Then we had Corbin Bleu from High School Musical, who had me feeling things every time he showed up on screen. And let’s not forget Lil’ Bow Wow! Baby, that was another one of my childhood favorites. Those three had a special place in my little heart, and honestly, I could go on because there were PLENTY more where they came from.

Now, UH babes, it’s YOUR turn! Who was your childhood celebrity crush? Who had your laptop wallpaper in a chokehold? And most importantly, if you and your bestie liked the same celebrity, were y’all playing rock, paper, scissors, or was it every girl for herself?! I need names, stories, and CONFESSIONS in the comments. Let’s take it back!
