We think that one of the things we have in common as a society is celeb crushes. Before we had our first loves, before we got serious with that first crush at school, and maybe even before we even knew what the word meant, we've had that one celebrity or character that we loved seeing so much on our screens.

You may have seen them in movies that you watched with your parents when you were a mere child or you might have frequently seen them in magazines. You might have even been influenced by your friends.

Whatever it is, it's one thing no one is ashamed of. It's pretty much open information to everyone who asks.

And well, it's understandable, right? These people were chosen for the screen for a reason whether it be because of their looks, their charisma, their charm, or their talent.

When people usually ask the question, "Who's your first celebrity crush?" though, it's usually followed up by the "Why?" part. There are some celeb crushes though that just get *the* nod or that general agreement.

These are the celeb crushes that no one just questions because well, it's a no-brainer why anyone would admire them. From Keanu Reeves to Tom Holland, here are some of those celebs.

Robert Pattinson

It's a bit embarrassing but I was obsessed with him! I had posters of him everywhere and my entire internet search history was just him!

Billy Idol

I loved him as a preteen. There was just something about that sneer that made me swoon.

Dick Van Dyke

I was born in 1989, but he was my first major celebrity crush. He just seemed so kind and lovable — and I would always beg my parents to let me stay up and watch his show on 'Nick at Nite'.

Tom Felton

I grew up watching Harry Potter, so he was my first celeb crush. I loved the way he portrayed Draco. Plus he was really cute. He's been one of my crushes since I was about four or five years old.

— peynor

Ginger Spice

She just always exuded sexiness and femininity to me. When I was a child I thought I wanted to be her but, looking back, I realise she was actually my first crush.

George Clooney

I was in love with him after watching the 'Hell and High Water' episode of ER. If you know, you know.

Timothee Chalamet

He was and still is my first celebrity crush. I first saw him in Call Me By Your Name when I was 10. Three years later, and I still am a stan! I think he has the looks, the cutest smile, the sweetest personality, and can rock any hairstyle.

James Dean

He captured my heart in the movie Rebel Without A Cause. He had that charismatic charm — his smile and cheekiness would make any girl fall for him.

Dylan Sprouse

I ~always~ preferred Dylan over Cole. I think it was just because he was a little chunkier than his brother, and that made him even more adorable to me.

— stephreece

Amy Jo Johnson

Even as a gay man, I'd still have to say my first real celeb crush was Kimberly Hart in the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. She was the perfect blend of beauty and strength. She's an icon and queen, and I'm so glad she was my first celeb crush!

Ben Barnes

When he was in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, it just did it for me. His hair, his accent, everything was just right.

— viqui543

Tom Welling

When I first saw him in Smallville, I just thought he was the ideal male to be playing young Superman.

— brittconn92

Dylan O'Brien

This is probably common but I was in love with him because he basically was his character in Teen Wolf — funny, clumsy, quirky, and loyal to his friends.

— laidedahunsi

Jake Gyllenhaal

I had SUCH a crush on Jake in The Day After Tomorrow! He was the epitome of the strong and silent type... and so hot. I was suuuuper jealous of Emmy in that movie. I wanted to be the one holding his hand during the turbulence!!!

— sam_cleal

Tom Holland

He just seems like such a sweet, kind, and genuinely great person. In the interviews I've seen him in, he comes across like a very down to Earth kind of guy, and he’s also super hot with the most infectious smile.

— love_to_dance

Daveed Diggs

I absolutely loved him in Hamilton. His curly hair and sexy French accent were so awesome.

— sleepy555

Paul Rudd

Specifically when he was in Clueless, he basically became my ideal handsome man of the '90s, and still is today!

Louis Walsh

Yes, he was my first celebrity crush, but hear me out! At the time, I was regularly visiting my nan in the hospital in the ward of elderly ladies and The X Factor was always on. So, along with the ladies I used to join in swooning over Louis Walsh — at four years old.

— emilyy408eb2e5b

Gwen Stefani

She was definitely my first crush ever. I was about nine years old when "Don't Speak" came out and I was obsessed. The song was so painful and all I could think was 'Who would hurt this poor angel like this?'" Of course, I had no clue what heartbreak was at the time, but I had that song on repeat for a long time.

— dduron

Brendan Fraser

From the moment he picked up the lion in George of the Jungle, I was in love with him.

— meroos

Keanu Reeves

I fell for him in Babes in Toyland. He was just so 'different' than all the other characters for me. By the end, when he marries the leading lady, I was imagining myself in her place!

— torty

Charles Shaugnessy

Mr. Sheffield from The Nanny did it for me. That accent, that grey streak in his hair, his money. I was around four or five at the time, and I may still have a thing for older men now.

— travisd4a11dc95b

Hugh Jackman

I have just loved this man since watching the first X-Men as a child, and thinking to myself, 'wow' when I saw him. This crush has continued as I near my twenties and I cannot see it stopping any time soon!

— kat_huimang

You know what? We're not really going to argue with these people.

Their celeb crushes pretty much deserve the title of being a first celeb crush, there's no question about that. Thousands of people across the globe probably have these same people as their first celeb crush.

Plus, to each his/ her own, right? We're not going to judge.
