Generational Ewww

A little while ago I was having dinner at my parent's house. My siblings and nieces joined us for a nice dinner and conversation. I don't remember how it the topic came up but all of a sudden, my sister and fourteen year old niece were talking about Jared Leto. My niece loves him from 30 Seconds to Mars and has a teen girl crush on him. Well, my sister also had a crush on him back when he was know as Jordan Catalano fifteen years ago. Is that a gross moment? I've known generations of women to have crushes on the same actor at the same time, but this one is a little weird and creepy. Besides, look at the transition the man has made. My sister had the crush on the Tiger Beat version and my niece has crush on the goth version.

Classic bad boy?

Or Goth bad boy?

 

 

 

Also, my sister at roughly sixteen with a crush on a twenty-four year old playing a seventeen year old is passable. My niece crushing on the almost forty year old officially puts this in eww category. I remember my sister also having a crush on Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt back then as well, but I think that became mandatory in the mid 1990's.

But whatever Leto you choose, it's not the best guy to bring home to dad. And he's unattainable to I'm so glad I never have to experience that uncomfortable family dinner.
