90s actor who starred with Julia Roberts is unrecognizable
Share this @internewscast.com

Fans of ’80s and ’90s movies were in for a treat when one of the most beloved scene-stealers from those decades made a rare appearance in Manhattan on Friday.

The iconic actor, now 65, turned heads during a brisk walk through the West Village—looking shockingly thin and nearly unrecognizable.

The slimmed-down look was a far cry from the full-figured stockbroker he played opposite Melanie Griffith in 1989’s Working Girl. 

It also marked a major departure from his heftier appearance in 1990’s Flatliners, where he starred alongside Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, and Kiefer Sutherland.

Dressed in a gray polo and navy shorts, the Tony-nominated star—who also appeared in Indecent Proposal and Benny & Joon—seemed to be getting in a workout, breaking a sweat while carrying a water bottle.

Can you guess the star?

If you said Oliver Platt, you’re right!

Back in 1999, Platt reflected on his career during a particularly busy moment, with three major films hitting theaters: Three to Tango with Matthew Perry, Bicentennial Man alongside Robin Williams, and Lake Placid with Betty White.

‘I look back at the movies I’ve made, and there’s not a single one I regret,’ he told Esquire.

‘But I like them for different reasons—some were fun to do, and for others the result was satisfying.’

Platt singled out a few personal favorites. 

‘Funny Bones is really dear to me, but such a tense experience. Then there’s The Impostors, which was criminally fun to make,’ he said, referencing the 1998 comedy in which he and Stanley Tucci played struggling New York actors posing as stewards aboard a luxury liner bound for France.

‘We kept saying to each other, “I can’t believe we’re getting paid for this—oh, yeah, we aren’t.”‘ 

In addition to his film career, Platt has earned critical acclaim across both television and theater.
