Heartthrobs 90s 00s

The ’90s and ’00s gave us so many heartthrobs that it’s nearly impossible to keep track of them all. Celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Usher, and Mario Lopez have remained on our radars throughout the years, but others have strayed from the spotlight.

1.

James Van Der Beek definitely made the most of his Dawson’s Creek heartthrob era.

These days, James is taking care of his kids while occasionally expanding his TV acting career.

2.

Freddie Prinze Jr. had our hearts in a chokehold during the late ’90s and early ’00s.

Many years have come and gone, but Freddie still looks great. And yes, he’s still married to Sarah Michelle Gellar. Goals.

3.

Ginuwine’s ’90s R&B classic “Pony” truly made him the ultimate heartthrob.

Needless to say, he’s still looking good.

4.

Who could resist Ryan Phillippe in his prime?

His iconic relationship with Reese Witherspoon didn’t pan out, but at least he still looks good.

5.

Andrew Keegan’s 10 Things I Hate About You era was unmatched.

He might not be in the limelight anymore, but he’ll always be a dreamboat.

6.

B2K absolutely killed it during the early ’00s with bangers like “Bump, Bump, Bump” and “Uh Huh.”

They’ve aged like fine wine and are still doing appearances as a group.

7.

Rider Strong commanded a large portion of the ’90s as a lead in the beloved Boy Meets World series.

These days, he’s happily married and giving directing and screenwriting a shot.

8.

Joey Lawrence was a sight to behold in the ’90s series Blossom.

He’s still a working actor, though he also writes and records music.

9.

Jason Priestley and his Beverly Hills, 90210 days were a defining factor of ’90s television.

He’s still a working actor (and remains as handsome as ever).

10.

Scott Wolf was simply too attractive for his own good in the ’90s.

He’s now a CW dad, starring as Carson Drew in the network’s recent Nancy Drew series.

11.

Corbin Bleu was High School Musical‘s unsung heartthrob in the 2000s.

Much to no one’s surprise, he’s still incredibly handsome.

12.

You can’t talk about ’90s/’00s heartthrobs without mentioning Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

The attention probably wore him out, and he’s chosen to remain out of the spotlight for many years.

13.

The Hanson boys (arguably) had the best hair in the music industry during the ’90s.

The brothers are now family men, raising children while touring occasionally.

14.

Chad Michael Murray’s One Tree Hill days were seriously elite.

Yet he’s somehow even more attractive now.

15.

Remember when Hayden Christensen was the hottest Anakin Skywalker possible in the 2000s?

He’s still making the rounds in Hollywood, playing Anakin/Darth Vader in several recent Star Wars projects.

16.

Mean Girls hottie Jonathan Bennett was peak heartthrob material.

He and his eyebrows are still living their best lives.

17.

Enrique Iglesias was a notable heartthrob in both the 1990s and the 2000s.

He may not be the most prominent musician these days, but he’s still as hot as ever.

18.

Jesse Bradford was, of course, the heartthrob from 2000’s iconic Bring It On movie.

He lives a relatively normal, unproblematic life these days, which is a huge flex, TBH.

19.

Benjamin Bratt has always been a hottie after our very hearts.

Naturally, he still looks great.

20.

I mean…come on. We all saw Jesse Metcalfe in John Tucker Must Die and Desperate Housewives.

He surprisingly still looks exactly the same (but with more facial hair).

21.

Maxwell has been blessing our ears (and our eyes!) since the ’90s.

He’s still thriving as a musician, touring on a regular basis.

22.

Adrian Grenier made the most of the 2000s, primarily due to the success of his Entourage series.

Those eyes are as piercing as ever, even after all these years.
