When did Alan Ruck (nerdy friend of Ferris Bueller) suddenly get so handsome?

There's a new Netflix film starring the actress who played Barb in Stranger Things, and Alan Ruck plays her dad in it. And I fancy the pants off him. He was in loads of 'teen' film when I was a teen and was lanky and odd looking in all of them. He appears to be one of those lucky men who grow into their looks, or maybe it's the beard. The film is Sienna Burgess is a Loser. I've attached photos for comparison purposes.

I always thought he was quite nice. And his house in the FB movie was AMAZING!

It's the beard. He looked really geeky in Speed as well.

Yum. I love gray hair on men.

I've checked his age, I think he's looking pretty good for 62.

He is never 62!!!!!!!!!!!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 07/09/2018 20:36

Born in 1956, which means he was 30 when he was in Ferris Bueller. Shock I know that teenagers in films are very rarely played by actual teenagers, but 30!! He didn't look it.

Oh my actual god - 30???

Which moisturiser does he use?

VanillaSugary · 07/09/2018 21:32

He has no lines on his face and he still has a full head of hair. I want what he's having!!!

Chesntoots · 07/09/2018 21:33

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for him - he's lovely

Awrite · 07/09/2018 21:35

He's in a few episodes of The Catch on Amazon. I think he's married to the lead actress. She was also the lead in The Killing, American version.

Yeah, not bad.

ermmm no

I am resurrecting this thread to see if you have seen Alan Ruck in HBO’s Succession, OP. It’s on Sky Arts. He still looks good!

BarbaraofSeville · 31/10/2019 22:06

Talking of ages, Mathew Broderick is 57, which means he was 25 when he paid Ferris, weren't they supposed to be 16/17?

BarbaraofSeville · 31/10/2019 22:07

They made Ferris Bueller THIRTY THREE YEARS AGO.

How. Is. That. Possible.
