Where are they now? The cast of She's All That, 23 years later.

Nothing beats a high-school-set romantic comedy from the 90s. They’re mind-numbingly stupid and contain a completely unrealistic amount of incredibly attractive people, but they still make us believe in true love.

She’s All That fits perfectly within that category. Released in 1999, the all-time classic, which is loosely based on My First Lady, is a teen staple.

Last year, Netflix dropped the 2021 gender-swap remake He's All That, starring TikTok star Addison Rae and Kourtney Kardashian.

Watch the trailer for He's All That below. Post continues after video.

Whilst its basic premise of giving the unpopular kid a makeover so they can be 'beautiful' is slightly problematic, it's a film that will forever have a tiny piece of our heart.

And the remake got us thinking, what are the 90s cast up to now - 23 years on?

Here’s a look at what the original stars have been up to since.
