80s star looks unrecognisable nearly 25 years after mysteriously vanishing from spotlight
Share:
An 80s movie star rarely seen in public was spotted looking worlds away from his former self in Sydney. Yahoo Serious, real name Greg Gomez Pead, shot to fame after writing, producing, directing, and starring in his cult 1988 film Young Einstein. But he vanished from the spotlight after his last film 2000’s Mr Accident, only making a handful of public appearances in the decades since.

Now he’s been spotted in Sydney out and about wearing some wide-rimmed blue glasses and an all-blue shirt and shorts combo, seemingly without his former long locks. He was also pictured lovingly hugging his Jack Russell Terrier while out on a walk. In June Yahoo was spotted enjoying the sunshine Down Under and had again swapped his previous more eccentric outfits for blue shorts and sunglasses.

In contrast to his short-hair look now, he wore his grey hair long and straight with a matching beard – which was also a big departure from his former voluminous auburn ‘do. Yahoo is believed to have last spoken publicly in 2019 at a screening of Young Einstein to mark the film’s 30th anniversary.

When asked about his future ambitions, he said, according to The Guardian: ‘I have been writing and I hope to continue to make some more movies.’. Yahoo co-wrote co-produced, edited, and directed his first film, Coaltown, aged 21 before finding fame with Young Einstein.
