The refreshing new photos of ’90s teen dreamboat Ryan Phillippe walking his flawless 39-year-old body down the beach in Miami this month have been giving us the kind of hot flashes we usually only feel around Zac Efron and Tom Daley.
But Phillippe isn’t the only teen dream that still has “it” — thanks to our research in collaboration with the Queerty Scientific Research Initiative, we’ve found that nearly 60% of all the men you loved in the ’90s are still pretty damn hot.
Below, check out ten smokin’ heartthrobs you spent the better half of 1997 searching for on AOL, and tell us which one you’d still take home today.
Freddie Prinze Jr.
How about we take this to the next level?

If you lined them all up for me, I would pick Ryan Phillipe without hesitation.
pierrot
Where’s Ian Ziering? 😉
Harley
Mark Walberg for sure. But surely, Kirk F¥cking Cameron? You have got to be kidding Queerty.
skylerbound
Mark Paul. FOR SURE. UNFFF
masc4masc
lol @ Kirk Cameron still getting more votes than Matt Lillard.
Hillers
The Cameron add is genius. Spectacular, even.
vive
Cameron was 80s, not 90s.
Milk
Like holding a bible is so sexy……..unless he make sweet sweet love to me on the altar of the church…and talk dirty in the confession booth….someone who is so uptight about the gays got to be really nasty in the bedroom….if it’s scat, I’m out of there!!
DarkZephyr
@Harley: I’m pretty sure they added that for hilarity’s sake and for me it worked. I got a nice chortle out of it.
DarkZephyr
@vive: But it was funny!

I grew up crushing on Ryan Phillipe, too bad he’s not been on the movie seen for a while. He definitely can still get it.
masc4masc
it’s definitely gonna be btw ryan phillipe and mark-paul gosselaar for most guys. hmmm…whose hole would I like to tongue punch more? tough one.
Jonty Coppersmith
I wouldn’t take any of them home, but Mario Lopez has aged the best of the lot.
OrchidIslander
@Jonty Coppersmith: Wow! How’s the air up there in impossibly high standards land?
DarkZephyr
@Jonty Coppersmith: would any of them go home with you? Maybe Kirk Cameron would.
Isaac
Matt Lillard looks like ass even moreso than in the past. Nice guy, but who had a crush on him? Oh, and that facial hair is nasty as hell.
Alan down in Florida
I would take all of them home – especially Kirk Cameron. Someone needs to teach him what he’s been missing while running off his mouth.
Alton
Mark Paul Gosselar, easy. But I’d hate-fuck the shit out of Kirk Cameron in a second.
vive
Lopez has indeed aged well, but he is about as sexy as a plastic houseplant. Philippe is the sexiest now.
James Hart
Just love Will Smith’s body today!
siltor67
will smith is atrocious
Paco
I would say Mario Lopez, but lately he has been looking like he is using too many injectables on his face. His face has looked swollen, puffy and unnatural a few times on his tv show Extra. I’ll go with the runner up, Mark-Paul.
Tackle
I agree about Mario’s face looking unnatural. I would also say the bady looks unnatural also. Too Chemically enhanced for my taste…
For me, a tie between Mark-Paul Gosselar, and
Ryan Phillipe. And I also love the addition of Kirk Cameron in the mix.
davidwesleyhorn
I don’t know…..call me old fashioned, but when I fuck a guy I want a guy in bed with me….sorry ML, the bod is kickin’ but when I hear that littl girl voice eek out it would end it for me….

That old photo of Freddie Prinze Jr. sitting down; man i had a copy of that which i folded up and hid away only to pull it out and look at it secretly. I was so in love with him.
ousooner1997
I voted Mario but my top 3 are all in the running for the win; MPG, Mario and Ryan.
money718
Ryan looks great. Wow.
Ryan26pdx
For me it’s a tie between Mario Lopez and Ryan Phillipe. As for Kirk Cameron (ha, ha), perhaps all he needs is the crazy f*cked out of him. God knows he’s probably someone’s secret bitch already though.
BECQueerty
Chris Klein doesn’t look different at all. I don’t remember Mark-Paul, but wouldn’t kick him out of bed. Mario is… too perfect? (I wish I had that problem.) However, Ryan Phillipe is my walking rough-trade fantasy! My goodness! Smokin’!! Ryan and I are going to double stuff Kirk and make him realize what kneeling is really for. >:-)
Suburban
I had a crush on Kirk Cameron back then, sad what an a-hole he turned out to be. Ryan P was hot and still is…
robertkalin
WTF? Kirk Cameron? Why did you even PUT him on this list?
mattntpa53
It is unfortunate that so many gay men only see the physical side of people. Yes K Cameron is considered “attractive”. The same way hitler (small h on purpose) got 30,000 marriage proposals.
By the way, its hard to be self righteous when I looked at these photos as well as you all did. Oops. LOL
NateB79
I can’t believe how scruffy and smoking hot James Van Der Beek became! I think everyone but Kirk still has it.
vive
It is interesting that most of them have improved and look better now than when they were jailbait.
captainburrito

Luis Collazo
