In August of 1988, Young Guns hit theaters, and its cast of Hollywood heartthrobs left fans weak in the knees. Dermot Mulroney, Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Terry O’Quinn, and Casey Siemaszko were already sought-after actors at the time. While the handsome hunks were already famous individually, the Western managed to transform them into an ensemble extraordinaire, solidifying Young Guns’ place in movie history.
Even though we haven’t seen the full cast together in the past few decades, fans recently got a treat courtesy of Mulroney.
Earlier this week, Mulroney (who played “Dirty Steve” Stephens) posted pics on Instagram of his crew taken at Fan Expo Dallas, sharing, “38 years later #youngguns rides again.” And based on the comments, fans are already obsessed with the photos of Mulroney, Sheen, Estevez, Sutherland, Diamond Phillips, Siemaszko, and O’Quinn.
While fans shared memories, quoted the film, and got nostalgic, several comments pointed out how much (or how little) one cast member has changed over the last 38 years. “Does Emilio Estevez ever age? He has the secret to the fountain of youth,” wrote one fan. Others added, “Emilio looking younger than all of them!”, “Emilio the Kid”, “So young,” and “Emilio looks like the only guy in the gang that’s ever eaten a vegetable.”

Mulroney also shared a series of snapshots in another post, with the caption, “PALS since 1877 – turns out we all have different sides of the same memories…When @kiefersutherland says “never had more fun on a movie” #youngguns you know you had some fun!”
Estevez’s fans kept the compliments going, responding to the post with, “I want to know what moisturizer Emilio is using?”, “Right? He does not age!” and “Emilio doesn’t even look like he’s aged, crazy!”
Estevez, who was born May 12, 1962, is 64 now. He skyrocketed to fame in The Outsiders (1983), The Breakfast Club (1985), and St. Elmo’s Fire (1985), becoming one of the most memorable members of the “Brat Pack.” Born into Hollywood royalty, Estevez is the son of legendary actor Martin Sheen and the brother of fellow “Young Gun” Charlie Sheen. In addition to acting, the 64-year-old has directed several films, including The War at Home, Bobby, The Way, and The Public.
