There's an interesting discussion going on over on wickedcherub's LJ about the morality of adults ogling and squeeing over pics of adolescents. My thoughts are here.
That said, Daniel's a very grownup-looking handsome young man, and my inner fourteen-year-old has a mad crush on him.
Mine too! You know, when I was 13, I was completely and utterly in love with John Taylor from Duran Duran. I had posters of him all over my walls, and my friends and I talked and squeed over him and the other boys in the band. I even wrote NC-17 Mary-Sue fanfic about the band (starring me and my friends, of course), and passed it around in a notebook at school! He was at least twice my age then, and I knew that if I ever met him in person, absolutely nothing would happen. He was a completely safe guy to have a crush on, and to practice falling in love with. Little girls do that, and big girls occasionally like to remember what it felt like to innocently squee over a gorgeous guy.
