There will always be a soft spot in our hearts for 10 Things I Hate About You. Those old coming-of-age teenage romances from that era just have some special factor that can't be replicated today.
We can't help but wonder, though, what that cast is up to now when they are all grown up. Well, we did some scouring and got the answers for you. Take a look at your favorite actors now!
Julia Stiles as Kat Stratford
Kat Stratford was a strong and independent woman, although, she learns to let loose a bit when confronted with Patrick Verona. Actor Julia Stiles is just as powerful too. Her career flourished as she tackled new and challenging roles.
Not only does Julia have stellar acting skills in practice, but she also got a B.A. in English Literature in 2005. Plus, she snagged an Emmy nomination, which surely isn't an easy feat.
Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona
Heath Ledger tragically died in 2008 from an accidental overdose, but not before he left a lasting legacy on Hollywood. He won an Oscar in the famed Brokeback Mountain. Following Heath's death, he was honored with a posthumous award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Joker in The Dark Knight.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cameron James
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career didn't end after this romance flick. He appeared in an indie movie that garnered a massive fanbase, (500) Days of Summer. Plus, Christopher Nolan's Inception and The Dark Knight Rises pushed him to new heights. He got married in 2014 and now has two sons.
Larisa Oleynik as Bianca Stratford
From movies to television, Larisa Oleynik can do it all. She appeared in Pretty Little Liars, Mad Men, Half-Life, and 3rd Rock From the Sun. She's now living in sunny Venice, Calif., and struggles with privacy. She even had to get a restraining order against a stalker.
Gabrielle Union as Chastity
Gabrielle Union's acting career took off with movies like Bring It On. Fans also saw her excel in projects like Think Like A Man, Bad Boys II, L.A.'s Finest, and Being Mary Jane. Outside of acting, she dropped two memoirs and two children's books. She's now married with a unique and mixed family, including five children.
Andrew Keegan as Joey Donner
Andrew Keegan went on to find success in a much more wholesome way. He appeared in 7th Heaven as Wilson West. Outside of acting, he focused on spirituality and formed a community center called Full Circle Venice. Plus, he now has a daughter.
