Nineties TV heartthrob unrecognisable in rare outing 26 years after iconic role, Playboy bunny split and ‘normal’ job

HE melted hearts across the world thanks to his irresistible charm on screen as Superman but these days Dean Cain is looking very different indeed.

The TV heartthrob looked unrecognisable as he stepped out for a very rare outing this month 26 years on from his iconic role as his alter ego, Clark Kent.

Once a Hollywood superstar, Dean was everywhere thanks to his classic role in the hit series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

He acted alongside Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane in the show which was seen by millions across the globe between 1993 and 1997.

It made the pair household names and they enjoyed glistening Hollywood careers going onto star in a slew of other shows and movies.

Although now aged 57, Dean looks totally different from his days as TV's most popular hunk.

He was snapped among revellers at the Hollywood Christmas Parade as he headed back to Los Angeles after relocating to Las Vegas.

Dean was accompanied by singer and model Anna Azerli as he posed for photos at the festive event.

His superstar status saw him coupled up with a variety of Hollywood beauties throughout the 90s and Noughties.

During his time on Superman he was involved with beach vollyball star and model, Gabrielle Reece, before finding himself engaged to Mindy McCreedy in 1997 before they split the following year.

Dean also enjoyed a romance with Playboy bunny Samantha Torres.

The couple welcomed a child in 2000, Christopher Dean, named after his film director father.

Away from the world of acting and his former showbiz lifestyle, Dean has now found himself in a rather different career altogether - one which some may say makes him a real-life Superman.

He is now a reserve police officer having been sworn in at the St. Anthony Police Department in St. Anthony, Idaho.

Despite his new 'normal' role, Dean has still managed to reap the benefits of his fame over the past few years.

He competed on Channel 4's notoriously dangerous winter sports show, The Jump, hosted by Davina McCall, back in 2016.
