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.
