A.J. on 'Empire Records' 'Memba Him?!

South Carolina-native Johnny Whitworth was 20 years old when he took on the role as the art school hopeful, A.J. -- who takes on a gamut of situations while employed by the Delaware record store -- in the 1995 cult masterpiece, "Empire Records."

Johnny Whitworth wasn't the only standout in the music movie ... he was cast with other rising stars like Renee Zellweger as the lusty Gina, Ethan Embry as the marijuana loving Mark ... and of course, Liv Tyler as A.J.'s crush and Harvard bound Corey Mason.

Whitworth can be spotted more recently on TV shows like "The 100" and "Blindspot."

Guess what he looks like now at 44 years old.

Guess Who This Silly Kid Turned Into!

Before this diaper-only toddler would grow up to star on a popular teen drama on Netflix ... they were born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shortly after graduating from Fordham University's drama program, this up-and-coming actor got cast on the hit Netflix series ... which premiered in 2017. The same year, they helped design a fashion collection with ASOS and won a GLAAD Rising Star Award.

The actor's credits also include "Jane the Virgin" and "Insatiable" ... and their cousin is Andi Dorfman, former star of "The Bachelorette."

Though openly gay for years, this actor came out as non-binary in June 2018 ... hence, the they/them pronouns.

Can you guess who they are?

Young Dave in 'Mystic River' 'Memba Him?!

American actor Cameron Bowen was only 15 years old when he landed the role of the young version of Dave Boyle -- who gets kidnapped on the streets of Boston and escapes days later -- in Clint Eastwood's 2003 murder mystery film "Mystic River."

Cameron Bowen shared the big screen with a laundry list of A-listers including Tim Robbins as the grown-up version of Dave Boyle, Kevin Bacon as the hometown investigator Sean Devine, Laurence Fishburne as the cop companion Whitey Powers ... and of course Sean Penn as the Boston heavy and father of the victim Jimmy Markum.

"Mystic River" was nominated for a slew of Academy Awards in 2004 like Actor In A Leading Role, Actor In A Supporting Role, Directing and Best Picture.

Jussie Smollett 'Attackers' Abel & Ola Flash Acting Chops ... Bizarre Comedy Sketch

Jussie Smollet's alleged "attackers" Abel and Ola Osundairo are showing off their acting skills in a new sketch that's supposed to be comedic ... but really just looks weird as hell.

Our sources tell us, Abel and Ola recently shot the sketch as a way to showcase their acting chops and get back into the industry. We're told it's entitled "50 Shades of Black" ... but, no, it has nothing to do with the alleged racist attack on Jussie.

It's about the brothers having a good time with some lady friends -- who, as you can see in pics from the set, are scantily clad or simply naked with dark body paint. They planned to cut loose with the women, but apparently end up getting drugged.

Think 'Fifty Shades' meets "Hustlers."

Remember, Abel and Ola were extras on "Empire" and that's how they met Jussie. But, ever since they called him out -- alleging he hired them to pull off a phony attack -- they've had a hard time scoring gigs.

Jussie Smollett's alleged attacker may not have done much damage to the actor on the streets of Chicago, but he keeps racking up knockouts in the ring. 2/29/20
LIGHTS OUT
TMZ.com

As you know ... Abel's mostly been boxing in Chicago, knocking out opponents and training with Floyd Mayweather's renowned trainer. He also landed one starring role in a movie, but it was super low-budget, and Ola's been shut out.

We can't vouch for how funny their new sketch will turn out, but it certainly LOOKS titillating. We're told the finished product will be released on YouTube and IG in the spring.

Before she'd grown up to become a world-famous model, she was a gymnast and obviously ... a Girl Scout.

TMZ has learned Mike just listed his Rancho Santa Fe estate for a cool $8,650,000 ... and the place is absolutely spectacular.

The custom compound just north of San Diego is 17,515 square feet of pure luxury ... it's got a huge swimming pool with an island in the middle and a swim-up bar, plus a saltwater aquarium in the living room and 270-degree panoramic views of the ocean, mountains and surrounding golf course.

Mike's place sits on a tropical landscape perched above the rest of the neighborhood ... and the master suite has a custom-built dressing room, sitting area, fireplace, wet bar, luxurious spa bath and private terrace with more insane views.

The guesthouse is pretty sweet too ... it's got its own direct ocean views from the balcony and outdoor spa. Don't forget the 8 bedroom ensuites with multiple walk-out terraces and balconies.

Oh and that island in the middle of the pool?!? It's decked out with a fire pit and fireside seating opposite a custom spa with foot jets. There's also an outdoor summer kitchen with awnings and courts for tennis and basketball with their own dressing room.

Mike's estate also has a chilled wine cellar and tasting room, meditation room, theater, game room, elevator and a multi-level waterfall styled after the famed fountains of Villa d'Este at Lake Como, Italy.

Linda Sansone of Willis Allen Real Estate holds the listing.

Guess Who This Blanket Baby Turned Into!

Before this not-so-swaddled-up sweetie would grow up to top the charts ... she was just a baby born in Havana, Cuba.

She spent her early years moving between Cuba and Mexico City, where her dad's from, before her family settled down in Miami when she was 5. She became a U.S. citizen in 2008.

The young lady left school when she was in 9th grade to pursue her singing career, which sounds risky ... but it worked. She went back and earned her high school diploma later too.

As for her career ... it launched when she auditioned for the U.S. version of "The X Factor" in 2012, which led to her joining one of the world's most famous girl groups.

While the group achieved great success, this gal also went solo on collabs with artists like Shawn Mendes and Machine Gun Kelly before leaving the group in December 2016. She's only been skyrocketing since then, with 2 different #1 singles.

She also just celebrated her 23rd birthday.

Can you guess who she is?

Guess Who This Grinning Girl Turned Into!

This little lady in red was born in Jerusalem but moved to the U.S at a young age ... where she flourished in school, studied ballet and learned several different languages.

When she was 10, a Revlon agent spotted her at a pizza restaurant and asked her to become a child model. She declined but used it as an opportunity to start her acting career.

Her first gig was as one of the understudies for the lead role in the off-Broadway musical, "Ruthless!" ... along with Britney Spears, who she remains friends with to this day.

After that -- at the age of 12 -- she landed her first big onscreen role as the young protegee of a hitman in a 1994 action-drama ... and business was boomin' from there.

She'd go on to star in some of the most popular movie franchises of all time, along with rom-coms and more ... and won an Oscar for Best Actress in 2011 for a film that linked back to her ballet days.

Can you guess who she is?
