Legendary '90s Boy Band Star, 48, is Unrecognizable in New Photos
The music group is best known for hits like "Bye Bye Bye" and "I Want You Back" — and for launching the careers of its members, which included Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and JC Chasez.
And when Chasez, 48, was photographed while out and about this week, he looked totally unrecognizable.

According to The Sun, Chasez was seen with long hair and a beard — two things he did not have during his boy band days! — while picking up food near the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.
See all the photos from Chasez's outing here.
Fans who follow Chasez on social media already know that he doesn't post on Instagram very frequently, but even looking back on his most recent post, which he shared in January, he looks completely different.
Here's what he looked like just a few months ago:
Changing looks are normal for all of us — former boy band legends included — and it's good to see that he continues to stay close to his NSYNC buddies all these years later.
And though he's no longer busting choreographed moves on stage during world tours like he once did, Chasez is still making music today. Last year, he released his Frankenstein-themed concept album, Playing With Fire, and he continues to work as a songwriter.
Maybe we'll see more of Chasez soon. Hope he enjoyed that dinner he picked up!

AEW Superstar Undergoes Surgery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW star Buddy Matthews is set to be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. The House of Black member confirmed on Thursday that he is undergoing ankle surgery. In a post on his Instagram story, Matthews shared a photo of himself at a hospital. He was alongside his real-life partner, former WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, just before he went in for the procedure. Buddy Matthews is getting surgery to repair his ankle. Speedy recovery. — Andrew Ravens l (@Andrew_Ravens) August 7, 2025 A Sidelined House Of Black Member Matthews has been largely absent from AEW programming in recent weeks. This surgery now provides a legitimate reason for his time away from the ring as he begins his recovery. The specific nature of the ankle injury and a potential timetable for his return have not yet been disclosed. His absence further complicates the status of the House of Black faction, as fellow member Brody King has recently been competing in the AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament with a new partner, Bandido. From "Best Kept Secret" to House Of Black Buddy Matthews has had a decorated career in both WWE and AEW. WWE fans will remember him from his time in NXT, where he was a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion. He later had a career-defining run on the 205 Live brand, where he was repackaged as "The Best Kept Secret" and had a dominant, critically acclaimed reign as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match After his WWE release, he made his debut for AEW in 2022. He was revealed as the third member of the dark and mysterious faction, the House of Black, alongside Malakai Black and Brody King. An Uncertain Future The House of Black quickly became one of the most popular and dominant groups in AEW. Their biggest success came when they captured the AEW World Trios Championship and held the titles for a significant portion of 2023. This injury is an unfortunate setback for the talented Australian star. The wrestling world now wishes him a full and speedy recovery and awaits the eventual, and likely ominous, return of the full House of Black. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
