These men won over hearts left and right in the '80s. Whether it was Don Johnson, Mickey Rourke, or Tom Selleck—fans were head over heels for them. Find out here what they and other sought-after stars of the '80s look like today.

Mickey Rourke was a superstar in the 1980s. In the movie '9 1/2 Weeks', he starred alongside Kim Basinger and joined the ranks of Hollywood's A-list stars.

Mickey Rourke is almost unrecognizable today. The 1990s marked his downfall. Alcohol took over his life, and acting offers dried up. In 2005, Rourke made his long-awaited comeback with “Sin City.” In 2008, he won a Golden Globe for his role in “The Wrestler” and was nominated for an Oscar. In 2019, he appeared in “Berlin, I Love You” and “Night Walk.” In 2020, he starred in three different film projects. In 2021, he appeared in “Take Back” and “Man of God”; most recently, he appeared in “Jade” in 2024 and “The Roaring Game” in 2025.

In the 1980s, Don Johnson was considered one of the most handsome actors around. From 1984 to 1990, he played a leading role in the series “Miami Vice.” He also enjoyed great success as a musician.

Don Johnson’s daughter Dakota, from his marriage to Melanie Griffith, is now almost as famous as her dad. In recent years, Don has appeared in several TV series and movies. Most recently, he appeared in the 2023 films “Book Club: A New Chapter” and “The Collective,” as well as in the 2025 series “Doctor Odyssey.”

Tom Selleck is arguably the most famous man with a mustache of the 1980s. The actor was considered a sex symbol and broke quite a few women’s hearts with his blue eyes. Selleck played the lead role in the series “Magnum” from 1980 to 1988.

Following the huge success of “Magnum,” Selleck appeared in numerous TV series and movies. From 1996 to 2000, he appeared as a guest star on the series “Friends.” Since 2010, he has appeared in the series “Blue Bloods – Crime Scene New York.”

Matthew Broderick enjoyed great success in 1986 with the comedy 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. The film made him a teen heartthrob.
