I was today years old when I learned the actor who played Jeremy on The Vampire Diaries is related to Steve McQueen

I didn’t know J-14 was still around (at least on YouTube). They did a “where is he now?” Video last year.

That’s a fucking shame!

He was so fucking hot on Vampire Diaries. And under-utilized imho.

I've always wondered why someone as hot as him, with his pedigree, hasn't become more famous.

Because not everyone can become famous. He also lacks any screen presence or talent. He has youthful All American good looks but not looks that will ever be taken seriously. His cute face and surname got him further than he would have otherwise.

Meh. I never thought he was underutilized r3. He was a supporting character and terrible actor but pretty. Like all CW productions. Young attractive people who aren’t all that talented.

Kat Graham was underutilized

I agree R3.

There is no more obnoxious internet phrase than "I was today years old."

He wasn’t underutilized on TVD. Anyone saying that probably didn’t watch the show. He left after season 6.

I watched the show. He was totally under-utilized. If he had been properly utilized, there would have been ten times as many shirtless scenes.

R7, I was today years old when I learned that fact, right here, in this thread.

R10 LOL!

R11 you crack yourself up, don’t you?

R12 I'm just R11 & R6 on this thread.

He looks a lot more like his mother’s second husband, sportsballer Luc Robitaille, than his own father, who is Steve Mc Queen’s son.

McQueens

Pedigree counts for nothing. It gets you a foot in the door, that’s it.

Is this a revelation?

A leaked sex tape would do wonders to boost his profile

Another fun fact courtesy of CW:

The son of Lauren Bacall and Jason Robards played Nate’s dad on Gossip Girl (Sam Robards)

OP, please never again use the expression "I was today years old." It wounds.

R20 has stated her boundaries.

Kat Graham was/is annoying and definitely not underutilized. I could have seen less of her snarky, sidewise, sour-pussy face.

Her story arcs and appearance were underwhelming. I don't know why anyone thinks she's anything special.

Very cute but not the best actor. Hollywood is almost top heavy with guys like him - easy on the eyes but no real substance as a performer. No wonder Aussies and Brits are taking over movies and television.

His looks are for teen shows. He’s like Scott Wolf, who even in his 40s only gets cast in shows aimed toward teens and young adults, only now playing dad roles. There’s a certain look these shows go for and he has THAT look.

He will never be anything more than that, and that’s fine. Plenty of actors build long careers off of these cheesy shows and tv movies.

Played Elizabeth Shue's kid in Piranha 3D.

R16 thats actually very false. This kid never took an acting lesson (and it shows) but worked consistently for a decade.

His grandfather was a drug-addled sexual abuser. McQueen used to brag about his suite at the Beverly Wiltshire where he “auditioned” young women for roles in nonexistent movies. Seeing as he was a drug abuser himself, he probably drugged the women, like Cosby did.

R21 please stop posting “has stated her boundaries” it’s tired, unoriginal and shows a lack of intelligence.

Nepo grandbaby.

R27 ok?

I was today years old when I learned that stating one's boundaries is unoriginal and shows a lack of intelligence.

(I have really really wanted to fuck Jeremy since the moment I first saw him on Vampire Diaries... he is SO FUCKABLE, I want him to be my personal fuck-toy)

R32 probably never even watched the movie but needs attention

Still unmarried…not even boo’d up with anyone.

R34 and you would know this how? He hasn’t posted on Instagram in over 2 years. Also, it’s 2023. Grow up.

Meh. Steve was much hotter.

Is this developing into another nepo thread?

R35 Steven R. McQueen.

R33, what movie are you referring to, pray-tell?

It's funny cuz I saw a guy that looks just like this guy last night when I was looking up my brother on the Florida sex offender registry and there was this guy who had a similar name to my brother who was kind of cute like this guy. So that I thought well let's slick and see what he did you know maybe it wasn't so terrible and it looked like a sort of statutory rape thing so I'm still kind of iffy on it. But then I thought probably sex offender registries are good places to look for dates. But he was cute. My brother on the other hand as I said in the ugly siblings thread is UGLY.

He’d benefit from a bit of rhinoplasty.

R41 no. He wouldn’t. Thin noses don’t work on all faces.

Not necessarily thinner, but a little definition is needed.
