A beloved teen idol from the late '90s is suddenly getting a lot of attention online after taking part in a new social media challenge that asks users to reflect on what they were like decades ago. The nostalgic clip quickly took off, racking up more than a million views and prompting fans to do a double take when they realized the video was posted by none other than Andrew Keegan, who first gained recognition for his role in Camp Nowhere.
Keegan shared an Instagram Reel partaking in the viral "what were you like in the 90s?" trend. The video begins with Keegan and his 10-year-old daughter, Aiya. Set to the Goo Goo Dolls' song "Iris," the video then shows a series of photos from Keegan's teen years.
The video, which was viewed more than 1.2 million times, received great feedback from fans.
"Let your kiddo know you were all over my bedroom walls and trapper keeper," one person wrote.
"One of my first crushes," someone else said.
"I was a part of the Andrew Keegan fan club. Saved up my allowance money and sent in via snail mail , best day ever when I open my mailbox and saw that I got all the merch and a signed headshot from you. Ahhhh to be a kid in the 90’s were some of my favorite memories," a third comment.
"Hottest boyfriend I ever had," a fourth Instagram user added.
Keegan first rose to fame in the late 1990s, appearing in popular TV shows like Party of Five and 7th Heaven. He’s best known for his role as Joey Donner in the hit film 10 Things I Hate About You, which cemented his status as a quintessential ’90s leading man. Over the years, he has remained a recognizable figure in pop culture, especially among fans of '90s teen movies and TV.
Keegan is still very much active in the entertainment business and has three projects lined up for 2026, according to his IMDb page.
