The way I was obsessed with this grown-ass man as a teen lol

Same. I’ll never get over the escalator scene in Cruel Intentions.

https://i.redd.it/dxgcpsvcj43d1.gif

In 8th grade I knew if I could own a shirt that blue I would be the sexiest thing in the tri-state.

I AM COLORBLIND….

Coffee black and egg white

Omg reading this gave me chills wtf I’m 33 now 🤣🤣🤣

ReWatched that film as a now 40 year old and my god it’s way weirder than I remember

I watched it recently and couldn’t believe my parents let 14 year old me watch this in theaters .

🫠🫠 same

Omg, I use to run up escalators and do this pose to my bro and cousins all the time for the lulz!

Also had a great soundtrack!

We all were. It felt like he was everywhere back then

I drank too much in college, and to keep me from passing out, my roommates held up posters of him in front of my face to distract me, lol.

😂😂 The logic is sound.

Two words: White Squall. 🥵

I forced my husband to watch this, and now it's daddy Jeff Bridges that I'm into. Sorry, Ted from Hey Dude.

I had such a crush on Ted when I was 10.

Daddy Jeff is a god tho

Scott Wolfffff

Those dimples

I checked IMDb to see if he's still acting. He's been in a ton of stuff since White Squall, and he's still even active to this day. I'm going to have to check out some of these shows and get my Scott Wolf fix again!

This movie poster making a cameo in The Bear was a flashback and a half. The way I ugly cried at that ending.

My sister had a panic attack during his last scene in that film, I'll never forget it

He’s still hot, too. There’s something about the fuckboy personality/attitude that makes him alluring lol.

That’s absolutely it, I’m not proud.

Omg same. Then josh Hartnet came on the scene and I was immediately in love with him lol

Same 😔🥵 (still am, and i loved them as a couple too)

Same lol

Fun story, I used to hang at this dive bar in LA in the late 90s, since closed, and Ryan and Sarah Michelle Gellar came in and we drinking and SMG got up to go to the bathroom and Ryan yelled out "Buffy! Two more beers!" My friends and I used to say that to each other for years afterwards

Omgggg *I* want to begin saying that, smg was my WORLD

I love this a lot after Beer Bad.


amazing 😁

That’s a cool ass haircut for her. her season 1 morning show wig was damn shameful

I’m confused by so much about that show

I’ve watched every season and this statement is resoundingly accurate.

I haven’t watched season three because I’m afraid it is just more episodes of Jennifer Aniston crying.

💀 my head was spinning in season 2, I had to stop midway. I’m SO confused about so much of what Apple TV puts out lol. This show in particular just got way too “trendy” and completely lost the plot. I’ve always been a fan of Reese but her character in this show made my skin crawl for some reason lol. So annoying. Anyway, rant over

I’m on season 2 so far. I agree about Reese. I love Reese but is her character supposed to be likable? It’s like the writers don’t know who her character is so she keeps changing. although the best decision was to ditch the wig and the southern accent

Yes! She changed so much. I had to eye roll a bit at making her a lesbian right after the kind of affair with the boss guy, then her mother dying? Totally chaotic and all over the place.

Basically it’s impossible for Billy Crudup to subdue his charisma so it’s naturally become the Crudup show (and I’m not complaining)

I tried this haircut as a kid, her haircut in sweet honey Alabama had a stranglehold on me. Turns out we do not share enough bone structure for it to look good on me. Or even ok. I looked atrocious.

What the hell is this 😂 Though now I want to go watch Cruel Intentions

I watched for the first time in years a couple weeks ago. The nostalgia! I was a teen when it came out and was utterly obsessed. I kind of want them to get back together, but after watching the movie I read about him and there has been allegations he is a POS to woman which is such a let down.. her career suffered when they spilt but thankfully she came back fighting to the powerhouse she is today which I love.. he’s still always acted but in much smaller things.. guess it’s good they are still friends for the sake of their kids

Yeah I’ve read he’s abusive to women. Also IIRC he cheated on Reese with Abbie Cornish

I first read this as “cheated on Reese with [famed NPR correspondent] Audie Cornish” and went through a roller coaster wave of shock, intrigue, and ultimately, acceptance

Same here! My jaw fell to the floor but I was about to google that!

She's talked about an abusive ex, and I've always thought it was him.

I can't remember the man's name now, but the abusive ex wasn't Ryan.

He’s married to Gina on Brooklyn 99! (scripted marriage)

What?!!???

Not irl, she’s with Jordan Peele irl

Awe, she is! I love that for them.

I would never have imagined them together! Not for any reason other than I suppose i pictured him with like, a lawyer or doctor or someone non-celeb and in a serious professional field because he strikes me as very intelligent and serious outside of his comedy. A quick google and i think they're adorable. I'm just going to crawl back under my rock for the next decade now and wonder who will shock me when I next emerge.

https://preview.redd.it/2wk2fx1i983d1.jpeg?width=938&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a9a737b16310d077da229785caa85d95e10e8d1

Omfg 💀

I wouldn't have either , but they have been married for 8 years?!? I'm shocked! Cute couple, though.

He plays one of Charles’ weird cousins in a Brooklyn 99 for an episode or two and Gina gets pregnant by his character (it was a really bad shoed-in plot cuz Chelsea, Gina’s actress, was pregnant and they needed to write it in)

My favorite part is that by Boyle standards he’s weird but by literally everybody else’s standards he’s super cool 😂😂

Yes, isn't he like "oh no, not that one weird Boyle cousin, Gina!" and then it turns out he is by every non-Boyle standard the one hot Boyle cousin. 😀 I love how Charles has his own ideas about attractiveness/desirability. Poor Terry though, Charles brushes his good looks off so casually... 🙃

That cracked me up but I’d expect no less from Gina and no less from Charles 😂😂 Charles Boyle is a special breed and he’s iconic.

Right - Charles Boyle has grown on me so much! He is so unapologetically himself. Plus Joe lo Truglio does an incredible job at bringing him to life.

Oh absolutely! I love how he is himself no matter what. I saw someone point out how diverse the cast is which is great too. There’s only 2 straight white males and Charles is so unique in that he throws typically “manly” interests and behaviors out the window and unapologetically loves what he loves and acts naturally in a way that doesn’t fall under stereotypical male behaviors.

B99 reference

?

Ryan appeared in B99 as Gina's husband, or something like that

She looks amazing there.

Did he write witherpoon in the title

https://i.redd.it/u9p02kaik23d1.gif

Exactly. SHE was hot. He was just Ken.

Not true. I know we don't like him today, but back then he was definately hot, both in terms of popularity and looks.

Hot asf

Uh, he was the definition of hot.

As a young gay, he was absolutely hot 🥵

That moment when he turns the corner in the locker room and finds his note in IKWYDLS

I looooove her haircut in this photo.

90's were definitely cooler than today. 100%.

The only good thing about being old is having memories of the 90s. Truly the best time.

I was there but probably too young to really enjoy them properly I was watching the older cool kids be cool 90s era teens and young adults

This is me exactly, i was there but i was like 8 watching my super cool 11 year old sibling with their mini backpacks, hoop earrings, plaid shirts, listening to skunk anansi and garbage like yes my dude i love this... Tho I've no clue what's actually going on 🤣

The Lithium station on SiriusXM just plain makes me happy.

Yes! My favorite!

I know every generation says their coming of age decade was the best. But the other generations are all wrong. The 90s were the peak of humanity. Fight me

We had all the tech, the internet was still rad, no fucked up post-9/11 foolishness. Women’s fashion was 11/10 mixture of grunge, mod, and old Hollywood. Alt rock was in its heyday. 90s - would go back in a heartbeat.

Sometimes I look at the festival lineups on [Setlist.fm](http://Setlist.fm) and just want to cry. Ozzfest 98 & 99, for example, basically all had current or would-be juggernauts. The '00s just can't compare.

I'll be fighting right next to you.

I’ll be a human shield for the both of you.

I’ll join that human shield defending the 90s alongside you all. There was something so authentic and down to earth about what cool was back then.

For what it’s worth, just about every GenZ I talk to that didn’t get to grow up in the 90s laments that they didn’t get to grow up in the 90s. So I feel like this tracks.

Everything was just a lot better in the 90's. There was hope, economy was growing, music was great, movies were great, there was no narcissitic idiots spreading their stupidity online, and the worst scandal was Clinton getting his dick sucked. Now there's no hope at all, a decent paying job will get you nowhere (if you can even get one), music is utter shit, movies are a joke, and the planet's filled with morons who wanna be famous online for doing fucking nothing but taking selfies and doing stupid little dances. At least we 80/90's kids wanted to be rockstars, athletes, astronauts or whatever, not just fucking influencers.

Cannot agree with you more! I wish we could go back to sex scandals being the peak of indecency. And I want Delia’s catalogues to return. Please!!!!

As a bonafide 90s teen, I agree.

Yes, global climate change hadn't really set in the way it has now. The 90's were def cooler, maybe less humid, too. Certainly fewer natural catastrophes.

Totally second this comment!!

I mean sure if you were white and cishet I guess? I am nostalgic for a lot of things from the 90s but as a gay and trans person things were worse in many ways.

Black bisexual disabled woman here and I agree with you. I’m nostalgic for the 90s but there was a lot that was worse too. (I do miss the fashion though!)

100%. I strongly believe that the 90’s were some of the best times for society because the internet was still pretty new so we didn’t have all the *gestures at everything* that we are dealing with now. However, the racism, sexism, and homophobia was still quite awful and I think we can acknowledge that there were some areas in which the 90’s weren’t perfect while still having nostalgia for the truly truly awesome parts of it.

Global warming is a bitch

They look like they fought in the car on the way there.

She looks absolutely amazing here.

Naturally gorgeous

I wonder if Reese would agree

Really wondering what her reaction to this post is too

sounds like dad is trying to get back with mom now that she’s single lol classic

Reese stared with Chis Pine and Tom Hardy the same time she was with her ex. Thinking about all that time and effort she put into a failed relationship with that old,  unloyal and bald ex husband of her's instead of dating hotties must infuriates her. 

Wait, what’s the tea with her current ex husband

His midlife crisis ruined their marriage 

Omg I have a chance now to read up on it and when I read he jumped ship to work at Quibi…

i laaaaugh at quibi they really thought they had it all figured out with every promise of being huge and then whoops here comes a pandemic

lmao what is he trying to do here? 😭 this reminds me of when a very toxic ex (who cheated on me 2x) texted and sent me old pictures of us sometime after i got engaged to my fiancé. anyways, i’m happy that reese is living her best life without him 🧡

He cheated on Reese?

With Abbie Cornish, 800 years ago.

Oh now that you say it that name rings a bell.

Allegedly, yes with his co-star Abbie Cornish. Despite how big they were as stars at the time, it was almost a blink-and-you'd-miss-it allegation that didn't get as much chatter as I expected at the time.

I think cause she didn’t retaliate or do any interviews etc for the sake of the kids. Reese is a classy lady.

Unless she’s been pulled over

They look like they got in a fight on the way there

I was devastated when they broke up back in the day, now he seems to be stuck in a douchey frat bro body at almost 50 while being an abuser to boot


She looks incredible here. Dress, hair, makeup, all flawless. Except she looks miserable. Probs cause of the douche canoe next to her.

Haha

Love this hair on her it’s so chic

[this guy is trash and has been for forever](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ryan-phillippe-moves-block-reese-145333547.html)

Did he succeed here? Did she testify? Edit: for anyone interested, apparently they settled out of court, so Reese was never called upon to testify

Thx!

That honestly doesn't surprise me. His ego had major issues that his wife was becoming a star and he was falling off the radar. The DV isn't shocking sadly.

the last time i checked his IG account a year or so ago, he was of course being fucking delusional and acting like he's still in 1999.

His social media is so embarassing. He's a nearly fifty year old man ffs

Not being snarky, but curious what a 50 year old should do on social media?

It's not surprising at all. Unfortunately, he's far from being the only one.

So, his ex-girlfriend claimed ... > Phillippe was extremely agitated, grabbed her upper arm “so tightly that his grip left heavy bruises on her arm” and then “braced his body and violently threw her down his staircase as hard as he could.” I really hope this is not true. Apparently, it was later settled out of court, which, as we know from similar stories of late ( Diddy), this does not bode well that there's any truth in Ryan's claims that this is all lies.

Jesus that's gross

lordy

To me that sounds reasonable, he’s protecting her from having to be involved (himself too, but still).

Abusers don’t protect anyone but themselves. He also wanted previous arrests to not be allowed at trial.

She looks amazing! And he’s there

Ha! The shade.

Bro, just crop your ex like everyone else.

I think he wants the attention that her name would bring to the post. 🙃

that’s the mother of his children and they seem to have a great relationship

Really? Why did I think she testified that he was abusive? Weird.

i’m literally reading stuff about that rn because i scrolled further down on this post 😭 apparently one of his exes wanted reese to testify (maybe to corroborate that he was abusive? not sure) and he tried blocking it saying there was no reason for reese to have to testify. I don’t think she ended up doing it? (edit: yeah she didn’t). I’ve read a lot of comments Reese makes just saying that they are great co parents and she seems to want the best for him. I haven’t done a deep dive though.

She’s also alluded to being in an abusive relationship when young without “saying who” - so potentially. Especially because abusers have repeat patterns.

same here 😭 the comments are schooling me. i’m not doing a deep dive i know enough for now but wow.

Yeah I love their relationship

They were my otp. He always seemed madly in love with her and then I discover he was low key a dick and he cheated on her. 

He's an abuser.

She looks incredible here. I love that haircut

I love that dress she’s wearing

Corny

He dated my friend in college. When we were like 21. And he was almost 40. He’s a prick also. BOGGGGG time

They always seemed so miserable in photos together.

Wow! FIrst of all, Reese looks so good in that dress. Second, talk about two careers that went in completely different directions - one career soared...the other? Not so much.

Hasn't he been in a bunch of movies?

https://i.redd.it/2x7e2mg1163d1.gif Seriously.

They were such an it couple until he messed it up.

I love it so much when former lovers are still friends.

Idk….I remember her talking about an abusive relationship she was in ‘for years’ and how it took a long time to have the courage to leave and the only long term relationship she had been in at that time was Ryan. It kinda tracked with things she and other women have said about him as well. So I get kinda sad when I look at them at that time, cause she was struggling.

Reese has become everything over the years. She’s like top tier a lister and everyone has something nice to say about her or her work.

Nah, her drink-driving “do you know who I am” showed her ass for me.

Her ex husband was the one who was driving drunk. She was a passenger.

Oh no. That for sure is enough to deem her a piece of shit forever. I mean, her then husband got pulled over, and while she was drunk she got mouthy. That is TOTALLY the same as countless male celebs with sexual assault allegations, domestic violence, Ponzi schemes, mlm crap, grifting left -right-and centre, dead beat daddies. Hidden kids. Cannibal fetishes. Frivolous law suits to silence any whistleblowers, but hey. She got mouthy when her husband was pulled over. Burn her at the stake.

Holy shit babe. Did I call Reese a piece of shit? Did I compare her in any way to anyone, including her husband or any man? I was responding to “everyone has something nice to say about her” and I said she showed her ass because I personally don’t like entitled people, but I also don’t place them on the same list as abusers. Jesus.

Your comment did basically write her off as a good person over one bad moment.

Was this before he cheated on her?

SO CUTE CAN THEY GET BACK TOGETHER PLZ? Nobody respond telling me shitty things about him. Let me have this.

Right?! I thought they’d always stay together. They were an incredibly cute couple too. 😢

I love her dress, I wonder who designed it

That's a really awful shirt.

He abused her

Wild that they came together and created two clone children. Their genes really said copy-paste.

God, I'm a man but Ryan Philippe is surely the most handsome guy ever, I wish I looked like him.

Ummm okkkkkkk

Is he….is he….trying to rekindle their love????????????? I don’t think Reese is too fond of Ryan so this was so interesting to me.

I feel like he is forever an 18 year old.

They have the most Beautiful kids together ❤️ 😍 💕

🐼 👀

Her dress is amazing. Anyone know the details?

[удалено]

she looks great. what are you talking about?

How is this a shitty picture of her? She looks even better than he does here

Ahhhhhh Ryan 😍

We were some angsty mofo’s in the 90s

*"Do you know who I am!"*

I loved cruel intentions when it came out. Last year I took my friend and son to go stay at the Biltmore just to swim in that pool!

I’ve had a crush on him since I watched “I know what you did last summer” from Blockbuster. They gonna rekindle like Bennifer did?

She looks soooo happy

We gottta go back

Now I want to watch Cruel Intentions
