29 Celebrities That Sparked People's Sexual Awakenings

I, for one, need a minute to recover.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community which celebs sparked their sexual awakenings and TBH, this list is gonna make you feel SO MANY things.

1. Ricky Martin:

Columbia

His '90s hair, his face, his moves — damn! Damn. My closeted self was LIVING every time the "Livin' la Vida Loca" video came on.

2. Megan Rapinoe:

I first saw her during the 2012 Olympics in London. I was 15 and unsure of my sexuality, but when she ran onto the soccer field all athletic and confident, I knew I wasn't straight at all. I still religiously watch USWNT games and am so glad she is still such a badass.

3. David Bowie:

TriStar Pictures

I loved when his character Jareth in Labyrinth said, "Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave." It still gives my little submissive soul shivers.

4. Jeon Jungkook:

I'm not a huge BTS fan, but I see him everywhere in the K-pop community. He's so gorgeously toned and has these broad shoulders. His face while performing just adds to the sexiness of it all. Swoon!

5. Justin Bieber:

Circa 2012 Justin, with the updo haircut and his newly-inked body, became the subject of my constant daydreams and many inappropriate fanfictions. I absolutely loved his smile, as well as his shirtless body. Today I’m not as big of a fan as I used to be, but he still holds a special place in my heart as the first sexual fantasy I ever had.

6. Halsey:

She was definitely the girl that made me realize how much I like girls. Her pride in her sexuality showed me how to be comfortable with being bisexual.

7. Amelia Earhart:

Is that weird? I just remember seeing that life-size cutout of her at the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. and I was like, "Whoa, that's a lady." I was probably around 7 years old and didn't know that girls could like girls, so I just thought we had a ~spiritual connection~. Now I know I was just gay.

8. Zac Efron:

New Line Cinema

For me it was Zac Efron in Hairspray. That black hair, the way he moved his hips...a far cry from nice boy Troy Bolton. Fast forward and it happened again when I saw him in The Greatest Showman. Zac Efron just does something to me!

—samantham4aab2ed9e

9. Zendaya:

20th Century Fox

I swooned when she looked at the camera while on the trapeze in The Greatest Showman. Her eyes were so captivating and I just knew I was definitely not straight.

10. Harry Styles:

Columbia

When I was younger, I used to watch the “Kiss You” video religiously. Something about seeing Harry’s four nipples really turned me on. I loved his hair, especially when he used a bandanna for some reason. All I wanted to do was marry him — and TBH, I still would marry him today.

—simonebaldwin171

11. Naveen Andrews:

ABC

Specifically him as Sayid on Lost. When he stood in the tropical rain in a soaking wet undershirt? Younger me was undone.

—s44ffbd35f

12. Natalie Portman:

Disney

Natalie Portman as Padmé in Star Wars just made me feel some type of way. Twelve years later she also made me realize that I was into girls.

—isabellak4e5b443e5

13. Halle Berry:

Warner Bros. Pictures

Watching her walk across the roof of a building in her catsuit in Catwoman was when I knew I was bi.

—amxri

14. Darren Criss:

Fox

I never felt “gay” because I never felt attracted to — or even related with — any gay characters in TV shows or movies. That was until I saw Darren Criss on Glee. The second he opened his mouth and started singing "Teenage Dream," I was like “Oh wow, mhm, yes. I am gay.”

—austinn4e7f3f329

15. Matthew Morrison:

Fox

In Glee's Rocky Horror–themed episode, he sang, "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" with Jayma Mays, and that certainly had me feeling some kind of way when I was 13.

—hannahisheretoplaypokemon

16. Chris Evans:

20th Century Fox

Specifically, Chris Evans in the 2005 Fantastic Four movie. I had ~questions~ about my sexuality around that time. But I DEFINITELY found answers after that movie!

—kyronp

17. Brendon Urie:

Fueled by Ramen

Good Lord! The hair and the suit from his "Hallelujah" music video? And when he's at the confessional in the beginning? To. Die. For. He helped me realize that I wasn't gay, but pansexual.

—melongmire888

18. Rami Malek:

20th Century Fox

He's super dreamy in Night at the Museum. 'Nuff said.

—kayleevoss776

19. Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper:

Universal Pictures

I was 10 or 11 years old when I watched them sing "Lay All Your Love On Me." I remember being attracted to both of them and wanting to be both of them. I didn't realize it then, but now I know I'm bi.

—koreanmunchkin02

20. Blake Lively:

The CW

Specifically, Blake Lively on Gossip Girl. I was a young gay, and when she came on screen I felt all sorts of things. I almost ended up skipping the scenes she wasn't in.

—ariirii17

21. Shay Mitchell:

She was the only reason I watched all seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars.

—lindsayc4ad5ea277

22. Ralph Macchio:

Columbia

AKA The Karate Kid. I was truly smitten with him, but it was also the first time I literally *tingled*. I'm kinda glad I never got to meet him in person around that time. I was a super-geek and tended to say things I probably shouldn't. If I had met him, there's no doubt that I would have sincerely thanked him for those tingles.

23. Donny Osmond:

PolyGram Video

I loved him as Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. That long wig and loincloth really spoke to me.

—rebekahs43b57efc4

24. Teyana Taylor:

Def Jam

Seeing her in Fade was the first time I knew for sure that I liked women.

—ckaczer

25. Ruby Rose:

After watching her in Orange Is the New Black, I literally couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was the first crush I ever had on a girl, and she made me realize I'm actually into girls.

—ellam4b89c39c1

26. Demi Lovato:

She's absolutely gorgeous. After listening to "Cool for the Summer" on repeat, I realized I kinda wished she was singing about me.

—milliesh

27. Matthew Gray Gubler:

Darren Michaels / CBS

His character in Criminal Minds, specifically. I've always had a thing for nerds, but the first time I saw him, I was in love. Something about him frantically scribbling on a whiteboard or rambling about statistics got me a little hot and bothered.

—riaxisaac

28. Brie Larson:

Disney

I’ve always been attracted to guys and assumed I was straight. I found some women attractive, but thought nothing of it. However, it was only recently, when I watched Brie Larson in Captain Marvel, that I realized that I am, in fact, bi. She's perfect.

29. And, of course, Prince:

I don’t even think I need to say anything more.
