We all have a (or multiple) celebrity crush. Some girls swoon when they see Adam Levine's shirt-less body, or Justin Bieber's pouty lips pasted all over their Instagram. I mean, who can blame them? I can't help but get a little hot and bothered when I see a picture of Ryan Gosling (Not that he's my screensaver or anything...) But recently I've discovered, my celebrity and real-life crushes have gotten noticeably older and wiser for the average taste of the young adult.
While sitting in the lounge watching the Oscars this past Sunday, Jack Nicholson came on stage and my friend turns to me and says "Kenz, you just love Jack Nicholson, don't you?" I simply let out a small giggle. You think I would draw the line at a guy with extreme road rage.. But I don't know, there's something about great acting ability and a spiffy-looking tuxedo that makes my legs feel like Jell-o. I've come to the realization that this must have started for me at a young age. I remember in my younger days when I couldn't help but let out a girlish scream ever time I saw Zac Efron in his Wildcats uniform. It may not seems as weird now, but if you think about it, I was 12 at the time, and he was 18, as if there would have ever been chance... Well there still isn't, but that's beside the point.
It became even more apparent when my friends and I would make inappropriate remarks about our high-school math teacher... It was something we all laughed at, but admit it girls, somewhere deep down, you were speaking the truth. It got even weirder when I stared writing those questionable tweets about my 30-something year old professors. Is it so wrong to bond over your alcoholism and comment on how great his new glasses look?
You'd think I'm a middle-aged woman talking with her girlfriends over wine about how great George Clooney looks with his beard. But, sadly you are mistaken. I'm only an 18-year-old university student with too much time on her hands. I'm coming to terms with it. My name is Kenzie and I have an older man complex.
Do you really think it's that weird that I find older men attractive? I mean I think Justin Trudeau's got it going in all the right places, and Mitt Romney... Ok, too far.
Just A Thought.
