MY FIRST SAME-SEX HOLLYWOOD CRUSH

I was in my teens at the time, about 13 or 14, and it was at about that time when Leonardo DiCaprio was doing all these great movies, like This Boy’s Life, The Basketball Diaries, Total Eclipse, and, most notably, Titanic. These, of course, came all before Leo grew macho, which made me turn a bit at around 21. But he’s still cute.

But what drew me to Leo then was his blonde hair, baby face, his smile, and you can’t forget his body. Oh my, he was smoking hot.

One of my favorite scenes from them Leo movies was that part on Total Eclipse when he (playing Arthur Rimbaud) took everything off and threw his clothes out of his apartment in front of all the people, including his lover in that film. Now that was a treat.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Leo. He was special in those days. I won’t miss his charm.
