Elisabeth Shue, who rose to fame in the 1984 movie The Karate Kid alongside Ralph Macchio, looks completely different from her days in classic 80s films.
The actress took a break from Hollywood to raise her three children, Miles, Stella, and Agnes, but gained further acclaim in films such as Cocktail with Tom Cruise and Back to the Future.
Now aged 59, the blonde bombshell looks unrecognizable from her earlier days in recent snaps.
In her sporadic public appearances, The Boys star can be seen with her blonde tresses arranged into shoulder-length curls and wearing glasses.
Elisabeth settled down with her husband, Davis Guggenheim, in 1994.
Davis was the one who encouraged his wife to head back to Harvard after she dropped out to concentrate on acting.
The star still looks sensational, and she regularly shows off her lithe frame at fan events and TV premieres.
In one snap, the actress posed alongside her daughters for a candid family post, looking iconic as ever in a black tank top and tortoiseshell specs, with her blonde tresses falling loose to frame her face.
Fans instantly went mad for the photo, with plenty begging the star to marry them.
Despite her hiatus from Hollywood, Elisabeth has appeared in several TV shows like Cobra Kai and The Boys.
She revealed in 2021 that she used to “beat herself up” over what other people thought of her, which she found detrimental to her soul.
Speaking on the ID10T with Chris Hardwick podcast, Elisabeth elaborated that she would tell her younger self that it is okay to just be who she is, not caring about the business or knowing how to wear dresses properly, and being clueless about all the things that she was clueless about.
