#TBT: Your ’90s Crushes Are All Grown Up And On Instagram - Page 7

Anybody else miss the ’90s?

Of all the many perks of that decade, we miss how simple the times seemed. Representation of Black folks in film and television was abundant. And of the many Black men, young and grown, who had the chance to be on television, we had a crush on most of them. As time has passed, we’ve watched some of our favorite crushes grow to be even finer, and continue on with their fame. But there are also some we haven’t seen or been able to keep up with. So, for the sake of Throwback Thursday, hit the flip to see what some of your ’90s crushes are looking like nowadays.

Brandon Quinton Adams

Brandon was Jesse in Mighty Ducks, as well as Kevin in The Sandlot and Aaron on Moesha.

The Smart Guy star was also in some of our favorite TV movies back in the day, including The Jacksons: An American Dream and Summertime Switch, an undisputed ABC TV movie classic.

Larenz Tate

Larenz hasn’t aged since Menace II Society, The Inkwell, Love Jones, Dead Presidents days — and we are so here for it.

Immature

While we rode for Batman during the early Immature days, it’s good to see that all three men have aged quite nicely.

Kel Mitchell

He may not have been your personal fave, but there were plenty of teen girls who loved the Kenan and Kel and Good Burger star. And he actually looks even better the older he gets.

Ginuwine

Elgin Baylor Lumpkin had everyone lusting with their eyes when he made his debut with The Bachelor in 1996. And even after all of these years, he still gets the ladies worked up.

Leon

We might look at him as Noelle’s daddy (Cynthia Bailey’s daughter) these days, but Leon was zaddy in the ’90s (and still is actually).

Gary Dourdan

The man we all crushed on as Shazza Zulu on A Different World still has his bright eyes and good looks — but not the locs.
