Hollywood actress Lucy Liu recently disclosed feeling embarrassed about having a crush on C. Thomas Howell during her teenage years. She admired Howell, known for his role in the 1983 film ‘The Outsiders’, and even had his photo on her wall. In an interview with W Magazine, Liu mentioned Howell as her first “cinematic crush” and described his ’80s look from the movie.
‘The Outsiders’ depicted the conflict between two groups, the greasers and the Socs, in a teenage gang rivalry. Interestingly, in 2012, Lucy Liu coincidentally worked with C. Thomas Howell on the TNT crime drama series ‘Southland’. Despite her past crush, she never revealed her feelings to him during their time working together.
Lucy Liu, who has never been married, was once engaged to film director Zach Helm in 2004. The engagement, which followed their meeting at a Hollywood event, was short-lived, leading to a breakup a few months later. Liu has also been involved in other notable relationships.
