So dopey in his early roles...


In his early stuff, like My Bodyguard....some of his earlier S.E. Hinton movies like Tex...Rumble Fish...he was an effin DOPE. I can't believe he was in all the "heartthrob" magazines and considered a sex symbol. At that young, awkward age, he just seemed like a meathead. It wasn't until The Outsiders that he started to grow into his looks...and started to seem somewhat cool. Then after that, as he started picking more diverse roles and stretching himself...he started to seem more sophisticated.

I disagree. I grew up with him and always thought he was just dreamy. He still is :)
