Huge 90s star star unrecognisable with very different new job
Over two decades since Dawson's Creek first aired in 1998, one of its stars, Kerr Smith, who played the character Jack McPhee from season two onwards, is barely recognisable today. The actor, now 53, has swapped his iconic brown locks for a silver fox look and is living a life of wellness in the mountains of Utah.
Smith's character was known for his struggle with his sexuality, eventually coming out as gay and becoming the first openly gay character to kiss on primetime TV.
Since the show ended in 2003, Smith has continued his acting career, appearing in shows such as Charmed, CSI: NY, Eli Stone, The Fosters, Agents of S.H. I.E. L.D. , and most notably, as Principal Holden Honey in Riverdale, reports Surrey Live.
In addition to his acting career, Kerr and his wife Lisa also run TerraLife, a wellness company that focuses on holistic health coaching, functional nutrition, and natural hormone balancing.
Kerr was previously married to producer Harmoni Everett from 2003 until their split in 2009.
Dawson's Creek served as a launchpad for many of its cast members, including James Van Der Beek, who went on to appear in shows like How I Met Your Mother and Ugly Betty. Joshua Jackson landed roles in Little Fires Everywhere and Fatal Attraction, while Meredith Monroe appeared in Criminal Minds and 13 Reasons Why.
Michelle Williams earned five Oscar nominations for her performances in Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, and The Fabelmans. Katie Holmes also found success in films like Coda and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and was married to Tom Cruise for six years.
Fans of Dawson's Creek may have something to look forward to, as Smith revealed on The Morning Show last year that a script has been written for a spin-off centered around Jack's life, with the cast returning to Capeside. He said, "I'm working on a spin-off. Myself and a couple of other cast members are working on something. It's very preliminary at this point. But something's been written and we're trying to get it made."

'ChatGPT handled my travel plans - one AI mistake meant I missed my flight'
A Spanish couple was on the verge of cancelling the trip of their dreams to South America over a silly mistake: trusting ChatGPT to give them the latest travel information. A couple almost missed their dreamy vacation to Puerto Rico after relying on ChatGPT for the latest travel information. Well, it seems that even ChatGPT can make mistakes and cost us a holiday worth thousands of pounds. That's what happened to Spanish influencer Mery Caldass and her partner, who were making their way to Puerto Rico but got stopped at the check-in desk for missing travel documentation. Mery and her boyfriend were heading to the Piña Colada island to attend one of Bad Bunny's exclusive residence shows in his home country before heading to Europe and Asia. The singer is performing a total of 30 shows for his 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí' residency, which runs from July 11 to August 24, 2025. However, tears of excitement quickly turned into a moment of desperation. Mery's story comes as British passport holders were urged to do one important thing before October 12. READ MORE: 'I tried Fox's new pistachio flavour biscuits - there's one thing you need to know' In the now-viral TikTok video, which has over 16k views, Mery is bawling her eyes out and walking around the airport, while her boyfriend tries to console her. Mery explained that she had asked if the couple needed a visa to travel to Puerto Rico, and ChatGPT said they didn't. Speaking in Spanish, she said: 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no.' For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Although Spanish passport holders don't require a visa to travel to Puerto Rico, they do need an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA). However, the couple relied on the artificial intelligence's words without triple-checking it. To add some comedy into a moment of frustration, Mery accused ChatGPT of holding a grudge against her. 'I don't trust that one anymore, because sometimes I insult him. I call him a b*****d, you're useless, but inform me well… That's his revenge,' she laughed whilst explaining in between tears. In the end, Mery and her boyfriend were able to buy another flight to Puerto Rico and enjoy Bad Bunny's concert. Although it was a scare, it served as a lesson to the couple: don't let ChatGPT be in charge of your travel plans. What is an ESTA? An ESTA is a mandatory electronic authorisation for citizens of certain countries travelling to the United States. This allows visitors to enter the country for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days without needed an actual visa. Since Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, those from Visa Waiter Program (VWP) countries wishing to visit the country will need an approved ESTA to enter. You can apply for it on the official U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website here. And before you ask, yes, British passport holders do need one.

Bailey Smith drops relationship bombshell and it may not be good news for new love Tammy Hembrow
Bailey Smith has shared some interesting insights into his dating life - and it may not be good news for Tammy Hembrow. The AFL star, 24, who has been spotted locking lips with the 31-year-old influencer, sat down with the We Mean Well podcast to reveal he has an age limit when it comes to relationships. Bailey revealed in the episode, recorded prior to meeting the 31-year-old, that he wouldn't date anyone over 28. The Geelong Cats star went on to admit he liked the 'chase' when it came to his romantic escapades and preferred making the first move. 'The ones you normally want aren't the ones that approach you, you know what I mean?' he said, before adding, 'A bit of a chase is good.' Bailey and Tammy have set tongues wagging over the last few weeks after being spotted on, not one, but two dates. The sports star, who is based in Victoria, flew to the Gold Coast two weekends in a row to spend time with the fitness influencer. The couple were first seen leaving hand-in-hand after a meal at swanky Asian fusion restaurant, Rick Shores, at Burleigh Heads. They were then caught making out at another restaurant. The pair were more recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll to Nobby's Beach, where the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy's hips. Since Tammy's public appearances with the AFL star, her ex Matt Zukowski has admitted he felt 'hurt' watching his former partner move on so quickly after their break-up. The Love Island star also hinted he was the one to end things between them, despite speculation it was Tammy who took the lead. 'A couple of months ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life,' he revealed on his Where's Your Head At? podcast with Anna McEvoy. 'I decided to leave a relationship that I found was not right for me,' he continued, before adding, 'It was unhealthy for me.' Matt and Tammy got engaged in December 2023 after just three months of dating. They tied the knot almost a year later, in November 2024, but rumours of a split began to circulate earlier this year. In June, just seven months after tying the knot, the pair announced their divorce.

Actress Michelle Williams confirms birth of baby daughter via surrogate
The actress, 44, who is married to Hamilton director Thomas Kail, discussed having three children under the age of five during an appearance on chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live. She is also mother to daughter Matilda, 19, who was born during her relationship with the late actor Heath Ledger. Responding to a compliment on her figure from actress Tiffany Haddish, who is filling in for Kimmel, the Dawson's Creek star said: 'Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, because this last baby did not come through my body. 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there, so thank you Christine. 'Thanks to Christine, I have three under five at home.' Discussing how she is managing with three little ones, she said: 'Everything's good and under control. I'm the adult. 'I'm trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance. 'I hear a lot of people are talking about self-care, and I'm just wondering, when? Because I'm a working mom. 'I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand I need to fill up the tank.' She joked she had found a solution by 'visiting our fine local establishments of government bureaucracy'. Williams added: 'You say: 'I'm sorry, honey. But one day you're going to grow up, and you're going to get a job. And you're going to pay taxes, and you're going to need a social security number for that.' 'And then here's how it goes: I recommend a midday appointment because it's a little bit more crowded. And then you can claim your rightful place at the back of the line where they will let you wait in complete silence for at least one hour. 'There is free seating for all. Bring like a nail file and a to-do list and check, check, check.' She continued: 'If you want a pro hack tip, don't double-check your paperwork because you might have to go back.' The actress, who discloses very little information about her private life, is best known for films including The Greatest Showman, Brokeback Mountain, Venom and Blue Valentine. She welcomed her first child with Kail in 2020 and a second in 2022.
