Clueless star Justin Walker looks unrecognisable 30 years after the release of the iconic high school comedy.
The actor played heartthrob Christian Stovitz in the 1995 movie, which was loosely based Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma, saw him as the object of Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone)’s affections.
However after Christian failed to show any interest in his classmate, despite her desperate attempts to seduce him, it was revealed that he was gay.
While other stars of the now cult film like Paul Rudd and the late Brittany Murphy went on to superstardom, actor Justin disappeared from the spotlight.
He now sports salt and pepper locks and gone are his 90s curls after turning his back on acting in 2005.
Clueless was his biggest role before going on to appear in an episode of Pamela Anderson’s V.I.P and a Pizza Hut ad.

He later ran California restaurant Teddy Teadle’s Grill before launching a fantasy sport wagering website.
Earlier this month the cult movie opened as a musical with Scots singer KT Tunstall making her West End Debut after writing the soundtrack.
Best known for her 2004 multi-million selling album Eye to the Telescope, Clueless represents Tunstall’s first foray into musical theatre.
However, while she spent most of her career to date playing rock and pop in venues around the world, she said it is her more formal training that came to the fore during her work for Clueless.
Tunstall said working with team behind the musical had been a ‘steep learning curve’ as she sought to do her best to make ‘the vision of the director’ a reality.
She star told Hello magazine: ‘You are sometimes writing about an argument or having a realisation in the narrative. And that is the tricky part.
‘All that musical training I had when I was a kid is actually massively useful now as I can read a score, I can do arrangements for strings etc.’
And despite having a cast of young performers, such as Emma Flynn, who plays the lead role of Cher, the music pays homage to the 90s hits that would have populated the charts at the time of the film’s release.

Tunstall said: ‘I had this idea of paying homage to all of those amazing hits from the 90s so every song in the musical is going to remind you of a brilliant 90s massive mega hit, like N*SYNC, Radiohead, Green Day, Vanessa Carlton or Hansen.’
And 2025 isn’t only an important year because of her involvement in Clueless.
Tunstall is also due to turn 50 this year and plans to mark the milestone birthday with a concert.
She said: ‘I have never headlined the Royal Albert Hall and it’s my 50th birthday on June 23 so I had this dream to play an anniversary gig there on my birthday and it came true.
‘It’s a really special time and I am really excited about it.’
She’s also keeping busy with an altogether different kind of project.
She said: ‘I’m writing a book at the moment. It’s a memoir up to this point in
my life. I am telling my life story in the structure of a song and this is the bridge part where you don’t know what’s going to happen.
‘It really feels like I have no idea what’s going to happen next and I am really excited about that.’
