Before LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian was into boy bands?

Long before Eddie Cibrian ("Third Watch") was rumored to have had an affair -- which he has publicly denied -- with his "Northern Lights" costar, country singer LeAnn Rimes, he was into boys.

Boy bands, that is.

Thank you for the flashback, Pink Is the New Blog! 

Back in the '80s, pretty boy Eddie was in a not so subtly named Canadian boy band called 3Deep. And, apparently, they were hot.

Their big hit was "Into You," a Canadian top 10.

And one of his bandmates was Joshua Morrow ("The Young and the Restless").
