90s heartthrob looks unrecognisable as he sports salt and pepper hair and a bushy beard in rare social media post - but can you guess who he is?
This 90s movie heartthrob looked unrecognisable with salt and pepper hair and a bushy beard in a rare social media post. The actor was catapulted to fame as an obnoxious Beverly Hills student in the now iconic 1995 movie Clueless, alongside the likes of Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd. Looking worlds away from his clean cut movie character, he chatted animatedly with his followers in the clip while tending to his garden. In recent years the actor has made a name for himself on the small screen starring in HBO 's Six Feet Under, Law & Order and since 2018 had a lead role in cop show FBI. While back on the silver screen he has voiced numerous animated movies, including the King Runeard in Disney's Frozen II. But can you guess who he is? Of course it's none other than award winning actor Jeremy Sisto, 50, who played the role of Elton Tiscia in Clueless. The actor previously revealed how he lost out on playing Jack Dawson in romantic epic Titanic to Leonardo DiCaprio. The role of the hero who saves his lady love Rose DeWitt from a sinking ship in the middle of the freezing Atlantic Ocean made an A-lister out of the DiCaprio, a fact that Jeremy admitted he is somewhat envious. 'I was just insanely inspired by it and a little heartbroken when the role didn't come my way,' Jeremy told HuffPost Live of James Cameron's epic 1997 romance. Jeremy, who was 21 when he tried out for the role, was moved by DiCaprio's performance and enjoyed the movie when it came out. 'I loved it,' Jeremy said of Titanic. 'It was a huge thing at the time. What a great idea. 'It was the first script that I'd read where someone was actually going to make the movie. It was exciting to just be a part of the process. There was a full crew, full set and make-up and hair and wardrobe. 'I read with Kate as well as three other actresses. It was on a stage, a room that was supposed to be the boat. It was a pretty great experience, to be involved in something that had that kind of scope... James Cameron was trying to push the limits on things. Of course it's none other than award winning actor Jeremy Sisto, 50, who played the role of Elton Tiscia in Clueless 'I was 19 years old so I was trying to figure out who I was,' he said of the high school flick. 'So when I think back to that time, it was kind of like my college period. A period that you're trying to figure out who you want to be.' Although Clueless became a cult favourite, the actor worried whether he would find other suitable roles. 'For a while I was concerned that I wouldn't be still acting,' he recalled. 'I was really afraid that was going to happen. I'm really proud to be a part of something that was a big thing for people when they were young. For me it was like Breakfast Club when I was a kid.' It comes after fans have been left divided over the announcement of a Clueless television series at Peacock - with Alicia Silverstone set to reprise her iconic role of Cher Horowitz. Silverstone, 48, is not only stepping back into the shoes of Cher, but is also one of the executive producers on the upcoming project, per The Guardian. The series will be written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage - who are both known for their involvement in past shows such as Gossip Girl and The O.C. Another writer joining the project is Jordan Weiss who recently worked on the Disney sequel Freakier Friday (2025). Amy Heckerling - who was the director of the 1995 cult classic - is also making a return and is an executive producer on the Peacock sequel series as well, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Other cast and plot details have yet to disclosed with the show still in its development stages. Social media users quickly jumped to X to share their thoughts on the Clueless series, with some offering differing opinions. One penned, 'If she's in it's good but we seriously don't need to touch this Classic,' while another wrote, 'Enough with the sequels.' A fan shared, 'I kinda need them to not touch this classic,' and one X user typed out, 'as long as Alicia is there, it might be good but Peacock doesn't have a good track record when creating new shows.' 'What is up with all these 90's-00's sequels we do not need this!!' one commented while another added, 'i fear this might ruin it.' A social media user also typed, 'I loved this movie as a child, but can we create original movies?' and one penned, 'Not sure how I feel about this, but you know I'll watch it.' However, others expressed their excitement over the sequel series with a fan writing, 'I will be getting that peacock subscription.' Another added, 'I'm honestly excited. We've only had one movie and I've never seen Alicia in anything else. Get your bag queen.'

We bought our £260,350 London home through a government saving scheme
Welcome back to What I Own – Metro's property series where we speak to homeowners about getting on the ladder. When drag artist Nick Collier, who performs as Ella Vaday, first moved to London, aged just 16, he was paying just £266 per month in rent. Living in Dalston, long before it was trendy, he'd moved into a friend's room on a whim. Over the years, he saw East London change beyond recognition, and after scrimped and savingfor a deposit, with his partner, Marco, the pair were able to buy their own four walls in 2018. Making a living in musical theatre, Nick started dabbling in the world of drag five years ago. Just one year later, he made it through to the final of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Nick even paid tribute to Dagenham in the process, creating a passionate look showcasing the local women who protested for equal pay at a Ford motor company factory in the 1960s, a story which was documented in the 2010 film Made In Dagenham. You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro.

The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Winning four maxi challenges, Ella Vaday wasn't in the bottom once, and so never had to lip sync for her life. And, of course, Nick's made space for his very own drag wardrobe at home. Where else would the wigs be kept? Here's what Nick had to say about his property journey… Where to begin! I left home in Norwich as a teen to go to drama school and somehow, 20 years later, I'm still in London doing what I love. I spent years working in musical theatre, doing shows like Wicked and The Book of Mormon in the West End. I was actually in rehearsals for Hairspray when the world shut down in 2020. Around that time, I'd started dabbling in drag. It was just a creative outlet at first, something to keep the spark going. Well, that little hobby grew legs, and a year later, I was in the final of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. That escalated, didn't it!? Life took a turn, in the best possible way. We paid £263,500 for our home in April 2018. We had a 10% deposit of £26,350. It was made up of money we'd each saved individually in Help To Buy ISAs, meaning the government topped up our savings by 25%. Sadly though, the government no longer offers this type of savings account. The government ended new applications to the Help To Buy ISA scheme in October 2022, and all first-time buyer house-buying applications were finalised by May 2023. The policy was originally introduced in 2013 to help buyers get on the ladder with new-build properties, and until 2021, when the scheme was revised to include first-time buyers only, it offered a loan of up to 20% of the property's value (the maximum value being £600,000). The purchase price was also capped differently depending on the region. While some say the policy was crucial in helping first-time buyers onto the ladder, it was relatively controversial, considering that research concluded that it both increased house prices and encouraged first-time buyers to take out debt specifically on new-build homes. It might no longer exist, but there are a few other schemes in place to help first-time buyers. First Homes scheme The First Homes scheme allows first-time buyers to snap up a home for between 30% and 50% below its market value. It's not limited to new-build homes, as it can either be a new property built by a developer or previously owned by someone else. You'll also need to earn below £80,000 per year before tax, rising to £90,000 in London, and you'll need to qualify for a mortgage for at least half the price of the home's market value. Lifetime ISA There's also the Lifetime ISA, which allows first-time buyers to purchase a property valued at £450,000 or less. The maximum amount you can deposit each year is £4,000, and the government will add a 25% yearly bonus to your savings (amounting to £1,000 if you max it out). Our mortgage is £1,037, we then pay around £325 for utilities, bringing the monthly outgoings on our home to £1,362. We're in Dagenham East, East London. We chose it mainly for affordability, but also because there's loads of investment happening in the area. Eastbrook Studios, the biggest film studio in London, is now just down the road. What I love most is how much green space we're surrounded by. You can walk for hours through quiet nature reserves, past ponds and open land. It's something you don't get living centrally, and it gives a real sense of calm. With a lot of hustle and sacrifice. Marco and I don't come from money, so we saved every penny ourselves. I was working full-time in the West End, and running a dog walking business during the day. I cycled everywhere to save on travel. We lived in a small basement flat in Angel for three years and said no to a lot of extras. It was all about the bigger picture. We had a brilliant mortgage adviser, Jack Childs from L&C. I'd worked with his dad in Wicked, so he completely understood how theatre income works. That made a massive difference, and the process went a lot more smoothly than I expected. We were on a three-year fixed rate at 0.97%, which felt like winning the lottery at the time. Once that ended, interest rates shot up. We're now on a 4.29% rate, which added a couple of hundred pounds a month to our mortgage. It's manageable, but you definitely feel the difference. It's still much cheaper than renting would be, and I always remember that at least we're paying off our own debt. I've rented ever since I moved to London, when I first moved to Dalston, Dalston Junction station didn't exist at the time. A friend and I said yes to a flat through someone's dad and just went with it. We had no idea where we were going, but we were there for seven years and saw the area change so much. My rent was £266 a month back then, which sounds ridiculous now. Later on, Marco and I moved into a basement flat in Angel with our dog Wally and stayed there for three years while saving to buy. I'd had enough of paying someone else's mortgage. I always said I wanted to own a place by the time I turned 30, and we just about made that happen. We went to see it after seeing another nearby property; they were about to do an open house viewing the next day, and we managed to see it before and get an offer in before anyone else. It was the space more than anything. The house is on a quiet street and had been lived in by the same man since he was a child. He was in his 90s when he sold it and wanted it to go to someone who would really live in it and make it a home. That felt important to us. It's London Pride weekend, and while that's certainly a cause for celebration, LGBTQ+ still face many issues, including accessing housing. Research from Stonewall shows that almost one in five LGBTQ+ people have experienced homelessness; these statistics increase to 25% of all trans people. The majority of these cases are caused by direct rejection from families over their LGBTQ+ identity, too, as 77% of people surveyed by akt said that 'family rejection, abuse or being asked to leave home' was the cause of their homelessness. Shortly before becoming homeless, more than 50% had their family members force them to stop expressing their LGBTQ+ identity, figures which rise to 64% for trans people and 55% for disabled people. The University of Stirling also finds that LGBTQ+ people have poorer housing outcomes than their straight and cis counterparts, too. Gay, lesbian and bisexual people specifically are less likely to own their own homes, while throughout the 1980s and 1990s, there were instances of gay and bisexual men having their mortgage applications refused because of the stigma tied to the HIV/AIDS crisis. The house needed a lot of work. We've renovated the whole thing ourselves over time. Luckily, we had a bit of savings left, so we tackled the kitchen first. That was always going to be the biggest job. Our style is colourful and personal. I don't like interiors that feel beige or grey just for the sake of being safe. I wanted it to feel full of character. Most of the artwork has a story behind it, whether it's something we picked up on a trip or something that used to hang in my nan's house. That's what makes it feel like home. I don't know anyone else with a dotty hallway like ours! The living room. It gets amazing light, so we went bold with the colour. It's filled with pieces we've collected over the years, and it's the room that really most like us. Cosy, a bit chaotic, lived-in and warm. For now, yes. Though I dream of having a dedicated drag room or wardrobe. Wigs take up more space than you'd think. The garden is the final big job. We've already added fencing for privacy, which made a big difference. Now we're working out how to use the space. With a small garden, you've got to be clever. We want something that feels like an extra room, not just a patch of grass. None so far. We've been lucky. Try not to fall in love with the first thing you see. We nearly bought a house that was basically falling down because we got obsessed with how we could change it. Looking back, it would have been a terrible decision. More Trending And if you're buying a doer-upper like we did, be honest about how much of the work you'll actually do yourself. Labour isn't cheap and time disappears fast once you've moved in. We'll probably stay here for a couple more years. That'll make it ten in total. After that, I've no idea. We might move closer in or go further out. It'll depend on what life looks like then. View More » What I do know is that we've learned so much from this house. We've made mistakes, we've figured things out, and we've created a home that feels completely ours. Whatever comes next, we'll go into it with a lot more confidence. And hopefully less wallpaper stripping. Do you have a story to share?

Former teen pinup looks unrecognisable 30 years after finding fame – but can you guess who it is?

Now 50, this actor has swapped the big screen for the small one and is still enjoying a very successful career - but can you guess who it is?

Credit: Alamy The actor in question is Jeremy Sisto, who shot to fame in the movie Clueless. Released in 1995, the movie star was just 20-years-old when he landed a role in the cult classic teen flick. Appearing alongside movie stars like Alicia Silverstone and the late Brittany Murphy, he played Elton - the obnoxious, arrogant rich kid who hung out with Cher and her friends. The role shot him and the rest of the cast to HUGE stardom, something Jeremy later admitted he struggled with at first. Opening up to Miami Living magazine in 2021, he said: 'It was a weird life for me, because I was 19 when I did it and I was doing these other dark movies that none of them did as well. "And then, a teen comedy when you're in your 20s, for me anyways, was something I was afraid people were laughing at me —as opposed to seeing what I wanted them to see." Continuing, Jeremy told the publication: "So, there was a period where I guess I was afraid if my career hadn't continued —like a lot of actors, it just sorta dries up— that I'd be seen as somebody who had a shot and failed.' However, his feelings about success changed in his 30s and he embraced his Clueless fame. Referring to a very famous scene in the movie, Jeremy said: 'Now, I'll do 'Rollin' with the homies' for anybody. I don't care.' Jeremy also revealed how his family also enjoy his Clueless notoriety. Trailer for the original 1995 film Clueless "One of my daughter's friends refuses to call me anything but Elton," he once told Us Weekly. Since finding fame in his 20s, Jeremy has remained in the spotlight, but tends to focus his career on the small screen - although he did voice King Runeard in Disney's Frozen II. Over the years he has appeared in big TV shows like Six Feet Under, Law and Order, and Suburgatory. Since 2018, he has played Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine in Dick Wolfe's CBS drama, FBI. Away from the limelight, Jeremy is married with kids and shares daughter Charlie, 16, and son Bastian, 13, with wife Addie Lane. 7 Clueless brought Jeremy a huge amount of fame Credit: Alamy 7 The star continues to act and tends to focus on the small screen Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
