Once upon a time, these celebrities were deemed some of the hottest hunks in the entertainment
industry.
Each time they graced television screens and magazine covers, their fans would swoon.
But over the years, the celebrity studs have changed so much, we may not even recognize
them if they walked right past us!
Let's take a closer look at the heartthrobs that look totally different today.
Brad Pitt
In Legends of the Fall, Brad Pitt made jaws drop for all the right reasons.
As one of Hollywood's most handsome leading men, Pitt was twice named People's Sexiest
Man Alive, and his stock as an aesthetically appealing actor continued to rise.
Years later, after the news of his divorce from Angelina Jolie, Pitt posed for a 2017
spread with GQ magazine that put his changing looks on blast.
But the actor is well aware that time marches on.
In a 2007 interview with Details, he said,
"One thing sucks, your face kind of goes.
Your body's not quite working the same.
But you earned it.
You earned that, things falling apart."
Keith Richards
Rocker Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones was known for having swag.
In the early days of his career, enamored fans swarmed him every day of the week.
Richards' music may be timeless, but like everyone else, his body is not.
If you ask him, he thinks he's holding up just fine.
The rocker revealed to GQ that he has no qualms about growing old in the public eye.
When asked if he regretted never using moisturizer, he answered:
"No.
I leave that up to other people."
His fans shouldn't expect him to go under the knife, either.
When asked about Botox, Richards replied:
"No one's ever talked me into doing that.
You're lucky if you walk out of there alive.
God bless you."
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Saved by the Bell still lives on as a cult classic, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar will forever
be dreamy Zack Morris, whether he likes it or not.
But these days, he looks a heck of a lot different than he did at Bayside High.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gosselaar spoke about his bushy beard, which
he was asked to grow in preparation for his starring role in the since-canceled Fox series,
Pitch.
He explained,
"[Show creator Dan Fogelman] thought I was great but was concerned about some of the
past baggage that I brought.
[...] He said, 'I don't want people to recognize you right off the bat.
Can you grow a beard?'"
Gosselaar is also noticeably heavier — another choice he made in order to play a bulked-up
baseball catcher.
"He's fat and he has a beard, he looks like a catcher."
"No!"
Matthew Perry
At just 24 years old, Matthew Perry starred as Chandler Bing on one of the most popular
shows of all time, Friends.
Over the years, the actor has spoken out about his addiction to opiates and alcohol, and
his substance abuse issues may have played a role in the disappearance of his once boyish
and youthful glow.
Perry has since kicked his habit and is dedicated to helping others on their journeys toward
sobriety.
So although he looks completely different today, we're just happy he's in a much better
place.
Healthy and happy is by far the best look.
Joey Lawrence
It seems like only yesterday that Joey Lawrence posters were hanging on every teenage girls'
bedroom wall.
In his breakout performance on the '90s sitcom Blossom, Lawrence completely rocked our world.
Now that he's all grown up, Lawrence has a revamped wardrobe, a new hairdo, and a bit
of facial stubble that did a total switcheroo to his appearance.
Although he has never specifically talked about the whereabouts of his beautiful wavy
brown hair, he seemed rather unphased about aging when he spoke to The Huffington Post
in 2017, saying,
"I began this journey so young that, 32 years later, I'm not really that old."
Luke Perry
The ultimate bad boy, Luke Perry starred on Beverly Hills, 90210, melting television screens
week after week with his sultry eyes and James Dean-esque hairstyle.
The show debuted back in 1990, and Perry has certainly matured since his days playing a
pretty face in one of the richest zip codes in the world.
In 1994, Perry had already realized what it felt like to age in Hollywood, telling Entertainment
Weekly,
"The teenage days are gone!
Coming-of-age movies are gone for me.
I mean, come on, the hairline just won't have it!"
Jump ahead a few decades, and he's snagging the cover of AARP magazine.
Although, in the end, even if he looks a lot different, he's still a stud in our eyes.
