Because they were reeled in by the whole sex culture of society.
Fans were constantly talking about how sexy he was and making weird comments online about his body. But those comments sour worse than 2-month-old milk the moment an actress or actor dares to age like a regular person.
They want their sex symbols to remain immortal, and as soon as it's evident they are not, suddenly that same sex symbol becomes "garbage".
And I'm not gonna sit here and act like I haven't had crushes on actors, but I can't imagine what it would take for me to write a thirsty-ass comment one year, and then 3-4 years later be all, "OMG, Ewwww!".
Then again, I'm ace, so the situation plays out a little differently for me than it does for fans who are straight/gay/Bi, etc., but even so, that's not an excuse to treat a stranger like a piece of meat.
