So, here’s a funny story. In 1994, when I was 6 years my parents agreed to let me watch a scary cruise ship movie they rented that had release about 20 years prior.
As I’m watching this movie, I keep getting weird feelings about the main character. He’s very handsome, I think, and i realize that I like him a lot.
Anyways years go by but I don’t forget that “hot dude” in the scary cruise ship movie where my attraction was awakened for the first time.
Flash forward to 2005. I’m 17 years old and at a friends house and they throw on a really old movie. I detest but then realize, wait! I know this movie….
I explain to my friend that I watched this when I was a kid and the main actor is super hot.
As we watch, I keep waiting for him to show up but he doesn’t?? I know it’s the right movie because I remember the other characters and the storyline.
Then the realization dawns on me.
In case you haven’t figured it out by now the movie is The Poseidon Adventures and my first Hollywood crush was Gene Hackman at a whopping 6 years old 🫠
Also in case you’re thinking “well Gene Hackman in 1972 probably was attractive!” No… no… look up his stills from the movie.
Also one more thing, that is a very traumatizing and upsetting movie to show to a 6YO 🤣
