In the early part of the 2000s, many young adults spent their time fawning over a set group of heartthrobs. Though these young adults are now mature and a little older, they may still have a special place in their hearts for these actors. If that sounds like you, then you may occasionally wonder where your crush is now and what they look like. Here’s what your favorite heartthrobs from the early 2000s look like now!
Orlando Bloom – Then
Talking about starting out strong. Young Orlando Bloom earned roles in two of the biggest franchises of the early 2000s — The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. With his accent and boyish good looks, it’s not hard to see why so many fell for him.
Of the two roles, though, it was probably his performance as young Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean that etched his charming smirk and sparkly eyes into millions of hearts.
Orlando Bloom – Now
Orlando, over the decade or so since his first role, has garnered many amazing roles. Currently, though, he has taken a step away from the big screen for a role on a hit Amazon series.
He’s currently starring on Carnival Row. This role seems to be enough for those that have a bit of a crush on the British actor.
Milo Ventimiglia – Then
There were several people to come off the show American Dreams that were immediately catapulted to the spotlight. One of those was the handsome Milo Ventimiglia.
After the show ended, he earned a role as Jesse on the CW show, Gilmore Girls. After his five years there, he starred in Heroes, which may be where he really earned his heartthrob status!
Milo Ventimiglia – Now
After starring in films like Rocky Balboa and Creed II, Milo still finds that he’s more comfortable on the small screen. His star shines the brightest on the NBC family drama, This Is Us. But along with that, he has several other projects he keeps busy with.
He has appeared in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and plays a role on the podcast series, Strawberry Spring. We hope to see him in plenty more projects — and soon!
