‘Scream’ Star Leaves Fans Stunned with Totally Unrecognizable Look in LA
Jamie Kennedy, best known for his iconic role as Randy Meeks in the Scream franchise, recently surprised fans with a completely new look while running errands in Los Angeles. The 55-year-old actor was spotted on Sunset Boulevard wearing a casual Adidas zip-up, navy pants, and bright blue sneakers, topped with a baseball cap and headphones.
His long wavy hair and graying goatee marked a dramatic shift from the clean-cut style that made him a ’90s horror icon.

The sightings come at a busy time in Kennedy’s personal life. Reports indicate he recently purchased a $3.1 million home in West Hollywood, showing that his focus extends beyond Hollywood into real estate ventures. Professionally, Kennedy continues to stay active both in comedy and film.
Fans will always remember Kennedy for his role as Randy Meeks, the horror-savvy teen whose “rules” for surviving scary movies became legendary. Despite Randy’s death in Scream 2, Kennedy has stayed connected to the series through cameos and video appearances. With Scream 7 set to release on February 27, fans are speculating whether Kennedy might return in some capacity alongside other legacy stars like Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox.
Kennedy’s career has spanned decades, from his breakout in 1996 to his hidden-camera show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment in the early 2000s, and cult comedies like Malibu’s Most Wanted and Son of the Mask.
He has also explored more serious roles, such as portraying Larry Lader in the drama Roe v. Wade. Reflecting on his career, Kennedy frequently credits Wes Craven for giving him his big break, recalling, “Wes said: ‘Johnny Depp didn’t have any credits.’ If he didn’t stick his neck out for me, you would not be talking to me today.”
With a new home, an active tour, and upcoming film projects, Kennedy is balancing his ’90s legacy with his current work as a veteran performer. Whether scooting through Los Angeles or performing to sold-out audiences, he seems to be embracing this new chapter fully.
