One Time Heartthrobs: Where are they now

Josh Hartnett
It's hard to pick a career-defining part for the Minnesota native because the actor made a name for himself starring in everything from indie dramas like "The Virgin Suicides" to horror flicks such as "Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later" as well as romantic comedies including "40 Days and 40 Nights" and Shakespearean updates (think "O"). And then there was Michael Bay's epic "Pearl Harbor," of course.


Josh Hartnett has long had an enviable career, but he hasn't always been happy with the fame that came with it. "I was on the cover of every magazine. I couldn't really go anywhere. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. I was alone. I didn't trust anyone," Josh told Details in 2014. "So I went back to Minnesota and got back together with my old friends -- ended up getting back together with my high-school girlfriend for a while -- and I didn't do any filming for 18 months." These days, he's back in the saddle, most recently appearing on Showtime's "Penny Dreadful." Josh welcomed his first child, a daughter, with his "The Lovers" co-star Tamsin Egerton in late 2015.





Adam Brody
After dropping out of community college, Adam Brody got his big break when he was cast as the lovable Seth Cohen on "The O.C."


Adam Brody has continued to act since his days on "The O.C.," popping up in some indie films and snagging guest roles on television. After dating co-star Rachel Bilson for three years, Adam was rumoured to be seeing a few other actresses before linking up with "Gossip Girl" actress Leighton Meester. The aughts teen-show royalty married in 2014 and had their first child, daughter Arlo, in August 2015.





Freddie Prinze Jr.
Following supporting parts in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its sequel, Los Angeles native Freddie Prinze Jr. went on to earn leading-man status in the teen romantic comedy "She's All That" opposite Rachael Leigh Cook.


Freddie Prinze Jr. met Sarah Michelle Gellar while filming 1997's teen slasher pic "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and married her in 2002 -- then welcomed daughter Charlotte Prinze in 2009 and son Rocky Prinze in 2012. Freddie's continued to act all this time, most recently as a voice actor in "Star Wars Rebels" and as himself in a comedy show called "First Impressions."





Shane West
Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Shane West appeared on several TV shows and in multiple teen flicks before landing a starring role opposite Mandy Moore in the inspirational 2002 coming-of-age tale "A Walk to Remember."


Shane West has taken full advantage of his heartthrob status. During his impressive career, he's been linked to a slew of Hollywood actresses including Rachael Leigh Cook, Monica Keena, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Evan Rachel Wood, Zelda Williams and Tiffany Hines, among others. Offscreen, he's spent a lot of time rocking out in various bands, including Average Joe, Johnny Was and The Germs. He's worked steadily as well, most recently starring on the TV show "Nikita" and the supernatural series "Salem."





Andrew Keegan
For anyone who ever picked up a teen magazine in the '90s, Andrew Keegan was a household name. He had roles on shows like "Full House" and "7th Heaven" as well as "Party of Five" before switching to the big screen. His role as bad boy Joey Donner in the 1999 film "10 Things I Hate About You" cemented his heartthrob status.


Andrew Keegan continued to act on TV shows, did some theater work and landed a few direct-to-video roles in the aughts before founding Full Circle, a spiritual center in Venice, California, in 2014. The group, which focuses on meditation, yoga and art, has been likened to a cult by some news outlets. In May 2015, the center was raided for distribution of kombucha, a fermented tea that contains small amounts of alcohol. The group received a citation for selling the unlicensed alcoholic drink. Andrew and his girlfriend Arista Ilona welcomed their first child -- daughter Aiya -- in March 2016.





Hayden Christensen
anadian actor Hayden Christensen's career got off to a prestigious start. He received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in "Life as a House" in 2001, just one year after it was announced he would be taking on the role of Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones." The combination of critical and commercial success made Hayden one of the biggest heartthrobs of the early '00s.


After taking part in the "Star Wars" franchise, Hayden Christensen continued to act. In 2007, Hayden met Rachel Bilson on the set of their film "Jumper." The two got engaged, broke up, and then later reunited. They welcomed their first child, daughter Briar Rose, in October 2014.





Chris Klein
After snagging his first role alongside Reese Witherspoon in 1999's "Election," Chris Klein went on to star in "American Pie" that same year. The raunchy high school comedy helped him achieve heartthrob status.


Chris Klein reprised his "American Pie" role in two sequels. In the early '00s, Chris had a romantic relationship with Katie Holmes and the two eventually got engaged, but broke it off in 2005 before Katie started dating Tom Cruise. In the years that followed, Chris publicly battled alcoholism and is now sober and continuing to act, mainly appearing on the small screen. In August 2015, he married Laina Rose Thyfault. The couple are expecting their first child together in the summer of 2016.





Tom Welling
Speaking of Superman... Former model Tom Welling landed the part of Clark Kent in a Superman reboot on the small screen titled "Smallville," which ran on The WB starting in 2001. It was a coup for the young actor, who was cast following a nationwide search.


Tom Welling married model Jamie White in 2002, but she she filed for divorce in 2013. Since the split, he's kept a low profile, only making a few red carpet appearances. "I don't want to be a celebrity for the sake of being a celebrity," he's said. "I want to work and then go home and live in private." But he has continued to act following the "Smallvile" finale in 2011: Tom appeared in the indie "Parkland" in 2013 and "Draft Day" alongside Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner in 2014.
