The star in question is of course Devon Sawa.
He yesterday appeared at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations Presents “The Girl In The River” event at The Meryl Streep Center for Performing Artists.
Devon was spotted looking completely unrecognisable as he posed up for snaps.
He was later seen chatting on stage as part of a panel.
Devon took a major break from the acting world in 2004, which lasted approximately five years.
He later told fans he needed to step away from the spotlight to clear his head.
“I took a break at the age of 25 just to step away from the business and figure things out — figure out if I wanted to do this anymore because I’d been working straight from the age of 11,” said Devon.
Devon starred in Eminem‘s music video at age 22 and it ended up winning Best International Artist Video at the MuchMusic Video Awards in 2001.
