16 Celebrity Crushes of Your Millennial Kids
These celebrities became your millennial kids’ crushes either because they relate to them or they’re everything they want in a partner.
Kids will always have crushes. We’ve had our own fair share—like maybe Dingdong Dantes or Shaun Cassidy. But that’s too old school for our millennials. They now have their own set of celebrity crushes which is why we made a list of celebrity crushes among millennials—explaining why they made it to the top sixteen.
1. Henry Cavill
A lot would say Henry Cavill inherited the mantle of Christopher Reeve as Superman very well. But that’s not all your millennials may have a crush on this celebrity for. As Geralt of Rivia, he’s scruffy but knows how to walk it. He even memorized the whole Witcher lore. He’s also been hailed as King of the Nerds. The man even built his own gaming rig! How can that man look sexy while building a PC?!
We’re not sure but he kind of just…did.
2. Chris Evans
Hailed by the net as ‘America’s ass’, Chris Evans is actually a pretty wholesome guy. Discounting the fact that he just has those pretty light blue-green eyes and is absolutely ripped, Chris has always been the very supportive type. Besides being open about his going to therapy, he supports his gay brother, Scott, without worrying about what the media would say.
3. Benedict Cumberbatch
The man even has a fan club known as the Cumberbitches who have been following his career ever since. The British actor plays the lead role in a lot of literature your millennials would know as fanfiction. On top of this, he became an even bigger celebrity crush and meme among millennials when he took on the role of Dr. Strange.
4. BTS
ARMY millennials all have their biases which is why Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, V, and Seok-jin all share the spot. They’re cute whether together or as individuals. Their interviews are short of nothing but completely wholesome and they’ve been pretty authentic—making them all the more attractive to our millennial kids.
5. Tom Hiddleston
Every time Tom plays Loki, it becomes a mood for many millennials—making him number five on the list of celebrity crushes among millennials. Although on screen he plays a rather devious character, in real life, he’s a charming gentleman. He’s seen to be very interactive with his fans, even indulging them as Loki.
