Transformation of the heartthrob of the 90s: Alex Dimitriades

He was recently spotted on the set in Sydney. Dimitriades gained popularity in the 90s thanks to the youth drama 'Heartbreak High'. Now, at 51, he looks completely different.

The actor was seen on the set in a worn blue sweater over a white shirt, in torn sweatpants, and with a shoulder bag. With his graying beard and long hair, the Australian actor is hard to recognize, especially watching him in his 'clean' TV image.

It is unclear what project Alex is working on, though his last role was in the series 'Bay of Fires'.

Path to Fame

Alex gained fame in his 20s by playing heartthrob Nick Poulos in 'Heartbreak High', which is a spin-off of the successful film 'The Heartbreak Kid'.

The series aired from 1994 to 1999, became a hit, and tackled important topics like racism. It was broadcast in over 25 countries worldwide.

His character died in a tragic accident in the boxing ring at the end of the first season.

After that, Alex continued a successful acting career with roles in 'Blue Murder', 'Underbelly', 'Secret Circle', 'Tidelands', and 'The Slap', as well as in the acclaimed film 'Head On'.

DJ Career

In recent years, Alex also gained popularity as a DJ. Under the name DJ Boogie Monster, he became one of the most sought-after DJs in Sydney.

“I remained the same person. I tried to imagine where I want to go with this, rather than getting caught up in the idea of how cool I am,”

– Alex speaks about his celebrity experience.

The 'Heartbreak High' series was rebooted by Netflix in 2022 but was canceled after three seasons.

Today, Alex continues to enjoy success, watching how his DJ career has opened a new chapter in his life.
