Jason Patric, one of Hollywoodâs most unforgettable â80s heartthrobs, looked nearly unrecognizable during a rare outing in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to photos published by The Daily Mail, the 59-year-old actor was seen spending quality time with his 15-year-old son, Gus, as they visited a church in Santa Monica before heading to the beach.

Patric now sports a short haircut, a graying beard, and glasses, creating a more relaxed look that still carries the charm that made him famous. The father and son coordinated in matching polo shirts and joggers as they enjoyed the sunny California morning. See the photos here.
From ‘The Lost Boys’ to Hollywood Legacy
Patricâs breakout came in 1987 when he starred in “The Lost Boys” alongside Corey Haim and Kiefer Sutherland. The teen vampire cemented his place as an â80s icon. He later appeared in acclaimed dramas like Sleepers (1996), Rush (1991), and Narc (2002), proving his depth beyond the teen-idol image.
Born Jason Patric Miller, the actor hails from a lineage of entertainment legends. His late father, Jason Miller, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright best known for That Championship Season and his role in The Exorcist. His mother, Linda Miller, is a Tony-nominated actress, and his grandfather was comedy legend Jackie Gleason.
Despite his family ties, Patric famously dropped his last name early in his career. âI want to make my ascent or demise as pure as possible,â he told Rolling Stone in 1990.
A Private Life Filled With Highs & Heartbreak
Beyond his film career, Patricâs personal life once made as many headlines as his acting. In the early 1990s, he was caught in a famous love triangle involving Julia Roberts and his close friend Kiefer Sutherland.
Roberts called off her wedding to Sutherland and flew to Ireland with Patric, creating a scandal that dominated Hollywood news for years.
The two actors eventually reconciled. âWhen I saw him again, there were a few words and more of a laugh and a toast,â Patric later recalled. âWhat lasted after all that is me and Kiefer as 35-year buddies.â
Patric also faced a long and emotional custody battle with his former partner, Danielle Schreiber, over their son, Gus. After years in court, he was granted full custody in 2014.
Now in his late fifties, Patric continues to act and recently appeared in “Law & Order: Organized Crime” as a veteran detective. Despite keeping a lower public profile, he remains one of Hollywoodâs iconic talents, an actor who values craft and privacy over fame.
