Remember When Prince William Was a Superhot Teen Idol?

That hair!

Cream-colored sweatshirt and all.

That smile says it all.

Remember those Tiger Beat features that asked heartthrobs a bunch of questions about their likes and dislikes? William filled out something similar on the occasion of his 16th and 18th birthdays, citing fast food as his favorite indulgence, watching rugby games as a favorite hobby, and techno and classical music as his favorite genres to listen to.

What we wouldn't give to have one of these now.

Liam Hemsworth, is that you?

On special occasions, Prince William would allow the press to photograph him in order for him to have control over the constant media attention. He explained his decision in an interview, saying, "The media have left me alone while I have been at Eton, for which I am grateful. But I knew there would be a lot of media interest in my 18th, and I didn't want a whole host of media involved. Neither did I want any distractions as I was revising for my A-levels. So, I agreed to allow one photographer and a TV cameraman to spend a little time with me at Eton."

Lucky for us, these photos were amazing, like this one taken of Wills at Eton College in 2000.

The press was also allowed to snap a few shots of William on his first day of school at St. Andrews University in 2001.

In 2004, we got this heartthrob smile from the prince, who was captured playing some pool with his college friends.

And look how studious he was.

He also showed off his practice golf swing.

William ran through the water while showing off his rugby skills.
