The Disney Channel might as well have called themselves teen heartthrob manufacturers because back in the day they used to pump them out like crazy, original movie after original movie, and show after show. There was a Disney guy for everyone, but realistically, you probably crushed on much more than one.
Sit back and enjoy the nostalgia. And if you want, check out what most of them look like now. You won't be disappointed, except for maybe one or two. (Sorry!)

If you don’t love Gordo, what are you even doing with yourself? Just kidding — but seriously, we absolutely loved Lizzie McGuire’s one-of-the-girls boy friend.
Disney
These adorable little twins were mischievous, fun, and entirely entertaining to watch. With two different series to choose from — The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Suite Life on Deck — there’s plenty of adorable fun to get through with these two.
Disney
Someone who can sing, has hair that makes the entire world jealous, and gradually gets even more attractive as the years go by? You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game and sign me up!
Little did we know that this charming, hunky Disney dude would grow up to play a wildly disturbing character on American Horror Story: Freak Show.
Those eyes and that smile are absolutely everything. If you missed Lee Thomson Young and this movie, then you REALLY missed out. Tragically, Young took his own life in 2013 at the age of 29. Rest in power, Lee!
Raviv Ullman, who previously went by the stage name Ricky Ullman, is the epitomé of Disney dream boy. Who even are you if you didn't have a crush on him back in the day?
These Lawrence brothers jumped ship, straight into our butterfly-filled hearts. Andy appealed for the younger crowd, and hunky Joey was for the older teens. It was perfect!
We can't forget about Matt Lawrence, the third dreamy Lawrence brother. I mean, who could forget about him. Just look at him!
He was one among a list of many reasons to watch That's So Raven back in the day. Was anyone else super jealous of Raven, or was it just me?
David is pretty much a given on lists like this. He is and was the cutest TV brother to ever be on Disney Channel. If I'd been Selena Gomez, I would've found it really hard to play the role of his sister.
What was not to like about Flash Forward's Tuck James? He dealt with bullies, was committed to his friends, and handled the awkward and uncomfortable moments of adolescence as best as he could.
I remember seeing him on the Disney Channel when I was younger and I was immediately captivated. I never got around to seeing his movies, but to me he was always the really cute Disney Channel guy with dark hair.
He came a long way from Little Rascal Alfalfa, to starring opposite Lindsay Lohan in Get a Clue. He was still cute, but in more a heartthrob way than before. Sorry, Alfalfa.
Swoon alert! Brink's Erik Von Detten cast a spell on America that didn't really subside until he played a total jerk in Princess Diaries. Josh was the worst!
