I <33 AJ McLean
Hi! trumpeterofdoom here, and I'll be your guest poster for this week. As some of you might know, tomorrow (9th Jan) is the birthday of one Mr Alexander James McLean, who turns 33 this year (33. He was 18 when I first started liking him. :O). And well. I thought it'd be interesting to see how much he's changed since he was a wee little lad.
Under the cut are a lot of pictures, as choronological as I can manage (his baby pictures were a doozy to date, I can tell you that).
1978
Newborn bb!AJ!
See this is what I keep telling people. He was born with a receding hairline so don't make fun of his hair (too much)!
1979
1980
With his grandpa Adolf.
1982
AJ and his mom at Halloween.
1983
Christmas! Omg look at his eyes.
1984
Yeehaw!
1985
AJ's very first promo sheet at 7.
1986
AJ with the rest of the kids involved in a production of The King and I.
1987
AJ filming his part in Truth or Dare.
1990
AJ in wardrobe, playing Skunk in the pilot episode of 'Hi Honey, I'm Home!'
And once more in full technicolour.
1991 (ish, I think.)
AJ with Peter Mayhew, aka Chewbacca.
1992
AJ's 8th grade yearbook picture.
AJ doing his puppet routine at a local Latin carnival (I think). I see the furries thing started at a young age.
1993
AJ's promo sheet when he auditioned for BSB.
1994
I'm pretty sure this picture is bordering on child abuse. At least, I'd like to think so, if I weren't doubled up in laughter.
1995
*sporfle*
1996
AJ, from when the Boys were at the now defunct Rock Circus (aka music version of Madame Tussaud's) in London. As a teenager I may have touched his handprint in Rock Circus. *cough*
1997
AJ of the Opera from the Everbody video.
1998
Chris Kirkpatrick wasn't the only boybander to have a pineapple head.
1999
Ah, their first photoshoot with Rolling Stone, by Mark Seliger. YUM.
2000
NNNNNGH.
2001
2002
2003
I heart this picture so very much.
2004
Boys at the 2004 Grammys.
2005
Possibly my favourite shot from the Never Gone photoshoot.
2006
Did you really think this picture wouldn't appear?
2007
2008
Quite possibly the most perfect picture I have ever taken with my camera.
2009
