What do you call to this psychological problem (?): A one person gets sexually attracted to a certain person of the same sex as him; yet at the same he want to be look like him.
Example:
I am Anthony, a 16 year old guy and I idolize Louis, a 28 year old actor. In this case, Louis may be characterized as an handsome and a hunk.
I really like Louis, even sexually aroused when I see him. But at the same time I idolize him to the point that I would like to be as handsome as him.
What does this scenario mean? Is the homosexuality of the teen, Anthony, is still in question? I mean he has still doubt about his sexuality.

I can tell you that being sexually attracted to an actor is not a necessary condition for determining one's sexual orientation. Say, I am clearly straight and have never been sexually attracted to any male actor.
I do not know whether being sexually attracted to an actor of the same sex is a sufficient condition to say that you are homosexual, but I do know that it is not necessary.
Wanting to be as handsome as somebody does not seem to have any relationship to the issue of sexual orientation.
While I personally have always been straight, since way before puberty, I have read a lot about people who do not figure out their orientation until much later in life. In other words, you do not have a deadline.
