Kirk Cameron

Kirk Cameron jump-started his career as Mike Seaver on “Growing Pains” — seriously, what is it about cute troublemakers? He became a teen heartthrob in the late ’80s, appearing on covers of teen magazines like “Tiger Beat” and “Teen Beat.” A decade later, he returned to the big screen in “The Growing Pains Movie” and “Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers.”

An obsessed fan shares: “I also spent a good chunk of my childhood lovin’ on Kirk Cameron. I had a poster of him hanging on the inside of my closet door and would have conversations with him as if he were my boyfriend. Hysterical.” — Meghan R.
