Beyond sexual attraction, no. I could never quite feel like they were real people, in the sense that I knew their public persona probably wasn't representative of what they were like in person.

Seems to me men and women might have different ideas of what constitutes an "intense" crush.

When I was a teen, some younger kids had intense crushes on Lola Bunny and Gadget Hackwrench - it doesn't get more fictional than that 🤣

When I was young I had a crush on Olivia Newton John. As a teen it was Janet Jackson.

Social status was far less important than proximity, health and appearing to have a human vagina. If I was smiled at personally, there’s a good chance I developed a crush. I think the importance of status explains the sex difference in the poll.
