EXCLUSIVE Iconic '80s star looks shockingly youthful on his 60th birthday during rare outing... can you guess who it is?

Daily Mail​17-07-2025
One of the most beloved stars of the '80s left fans stunned by how youthful he looked while celebrating his 60th birthday on Thursday.
The actor — best known for playing Bill opposite Keanu Reeves ' Ted in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure — was spotted during a rare public outing in Los Angeles.
The appearance comes just a month after his reunion with Keanu at the 78th Annual Tony Awards, where the iconic duo thrilled longtime fans.
Looking upbeat as he ran errands at a local dry cleaner, the birthday boy kept it casual in a black polo T-shirt and cargo pants — a far cry from his bloodsucking role as Marko in The Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland.
Longtime fans may also recognize the London-born actor from his 2013 comeback in the thriller Grand Piano, starring Elijah Wood and John Cusack.
So… can you guess the star?
If you said Alex Winter, you nailed it!
Just weeks ago, Alex and Keanu sent fans into a frenzy when they reunited on the red carpet at the Tony Awards, held June 8 at Radio City Music Hall.
Sporting sleek black tuxedos, the longtime friends looked a far cry from their iconic roles as the chill, time-hopping teens who once wrangled historical figures for a school project in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
The crowd went wild not only for the nostalgic reunion but also for the actors' shockingly youthful looks—nearly four decades after they first teamed up on screen.
Their glowing appearance came as they promoted their upcoming Broadway debut in Waiting for Godot, a major stage event set for 2025 under the direction of Jamie Lloyd.
Reeves — famously dubbed the nicest guy in Hollywood — will take on the role of Estragon, while Winter will portray Vladimir in the modern revival.
'We're incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favorite plays,' Reeves and Winter shared in a joint statement.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was a surprise hit when it premiered in 1989, pulling in over $40 million at the box office on a $10 million budget.

The success sparked a 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, which saw the duo navigating heaven, hell, and everything in between—and built a dedicated cult following.
Nearly thirty years later, they returned once again for Bill & Ted Face the Music in 2020, proving their chemistry hadn't aged a day.
Outside of Bill & Ted, Winter is also known for his roles in cult classics like The Lost Boys, Freaked, and Death Wish 3.
He's also made a name for himself behind the camera, directing acclaimed documentaries such as Downloaded, Deep Web, and HBO's Showbiz Kids.
Winter has one son and largely keeps his personal life out of the spotlight—though fans have never stopped cheering him on.

Mack Maine announces son has died aged 20 from seizure

Rapper Mack Maine took to social media on Monday to mourn the tragic loss of his 16-year-old son Isaiah as result of a seizure. The New Orleans native, 43, posted a lengthy emotional statement on Instagram revealing that his teen son passed away as result of a seizure less than two weeks ago. 'This is a pain I've personally never felt before,' Maine said, 'but I'm still trusting and believing in God's plan and God's will and mercy.' Maine, a longtime friend and associate of rapper Lil Wayne, prefaced the moving statement in noting that he had 'been trying to build up the strength to put up this post since last night.' Maine, whose real name is Jermaine Anthony Preyan, wrote that 'On July 16th I received a call that my son Isaiah (Zeke) passed away at his home in California from a seizure.' The musician was candid in dissecting the tragic situation, as he said he was 'still in shock and still processing the fact that he's gone;' and 'still confused, still questioning life and why my child and not me.' Maine added that he was comforted by the spiritual implications following Isaiah's premature passing. 'I know I am/was his father while he was here in the flesh but now he's ascended to rejoin OUR Father God in the spirit and his ancestors who also loved him dearly like his grandfather (my dad) and his grandmother,' Maine said. Maine thanked his late son for providing him 'with one of the greatest gifts [he's] ever received, Fatherhood!' He continued: 'The experience and bond with you and I brought me purpose… YOU were my biggest inspiration and were the reason I got out of the bed when everyone else snoozed. 'Your smile brightened my dark days as you were my SONshine. Your soul was made of innocence and your heart was pure. Since July 16th your village has been crushed and we're hurting.' Maine was supported by a number of notable names in the hip-hop community, including Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz and Tyga. 'I don't even believe what I just read,' said Minaj. 'This can't be real. I love you so much.' The Super Bass songstress had kind words in remembering Isiah, calling him 'the most incredible young man' and 'such a perfect boy.' Others in the music industry rallied around Maine with words of kindness and support Said Minaj, 'I have no words to express what you must be feeling. No words. We are praying for your whole family, Mack. We love you so much.' Rapper 2 Chainz said in a comment in the thread, 'Bru im so sorry to hear this, praying for you and the fam I love ya bru.'
