Clueless was one of the iconic 90s films that brought us matching co-ords, the magic of Alicia Silverstone's wardrobe and the heartthrob actor Justin Walker.

Justin first came to the spotlight as the Clueless hunk Christian, who Cher fell head over heels for before wondering why he simply wasn't romantically interested in her.

We watched as he left her in the middle of nowhere after a party, he rejected her romantic advances as they cuddled up for a film and we cringed as Cher tried to seduce Christian before it was later revealed he wasn't romantically interested in her because he was gay.

Now almost 30 years after the release of Clueless, the actor looks totally different to the younger on-screen hunk.

Justin Walker now sports grey hair instead of the chestnut curls he had in the 90s film, and whilst his eyes remain as bright blue as ever he's aged since the film aired in 1995.

As an actor, Justin's work was seemingly spare and after the 1995 movie was released, the actor appeared to vanish into obscurity before disappearing from the spotlight completely.

Whilst Clueless was arguably Justin's largest film role, he did continue acting with other smaller projects after including featuring in a 1998 Pizza Hut TV advert.

He appeared in one episode of the comedy-drama series V.I.P alongside Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson.

Pamela wasn't the only famous co-star Justin has had, as he also starred alongside Ryan Reynolds in a straight-to-video teen comedy horror film Boltneck in 2000. The teen horror followed the storyline of a brainy student resurrecting a dead classmate by transplanting the mind of a serial killer into the teen's body.

Alongside film work, Justin was also the face and host of the talk show The X Show for a year in 1999. As well as this, he took part in several documentaries about the making of Clueless before eventually bowing out of the acting industry in 2005.

Since leaving the spotlight he's moved into hospitality and now runs a restaurant in California. Earlier this year it was reported that Justin took over as owner of a Tacone Flavor Grill franchise in California's Racho Mirage.
