25 Years On, Hook's Lost Boys Reunite To Remember Robin Williams

Just last week we honoured the 25th anniversary of classic kids film Hook by hunting down all the Lost Boys and finding out what they're up to these days.

Thudbutt's a magician, Wendy steam cleans her vagina (she was played by Gwyneth Paltrow, remember?) and Rufio's 40 years old - just some revelations that left us feeling bitter sweet.

The cast clearly heard our call for more, more, more, because now they've come together to honour the film and its star Robin Williams, who tragically died 2 years ago.

Recreating key scenes from the film, the Lost Boys have joined up for an iconic photoshoot that will make you feel things. Some bad, some good, mostly depressingly existential (we are old and so are the Lost Boys, boo hoo).

We haven't seen each other in quite some time but I almost feel like there was no lost time,”James Madio (“Don’t Ask”) shared with ET's Denny Directo. “We just picked it up right away where we were and just reminiscing about everything. It's just really cool.”

“Hook is just one of those movies that people really grew up on,” he said. “To get them together to remember Robin and celebrate this milestone is something that I loved being a part of.”

“You have to understand, when you're 15 and you're doing this Steven Spielberg movie with megastars... Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts... you know you want to be cool,” said Dante Basco, who played Rufio. 

“I don’t know how cool I’m going to look with my belly button out!” I mean, through the months it grew on me and now, I mean, years later it's become this iconic, iconic look that people cosplay around the world.”

“I think for all of us [Robin’s death] was the death of our childhood,” Basco said of the loss of Robin Williams.

 “There's sadness there, also there's a lot of space to kinda celebrate one of the most legendary artists of our time.”

“[Robin] really taught me at a young age what it means to be a star, what it means to be a leader on a set,” he continued. “Everything you want Robin Williams to be he delivered in spades.”

“He kept the set very alive,” Madio said. “He made sure that he had a relationship with each and every one of us.”

“It was like his mission to make sure everyone around him is happy and laughing all the time,” Tulak added.

"That's what I think his power was: his reach and being able to make anybody... even through a television screen or a movie screen-- make you feel so great,” Ryan Francis (who played “Young Peter Pan”) contended.

Here's What The Kids From Hook Look Like Now

  • Today we're dipping into the nostalgia trunk and emerging with Hook, arguably THE BEST KIDS MOVIE OF ALL TIME. But what happened to the gang of kids who made it so special? We tracked 'em down and found out, so prepare to lose your marbles. First, Rufio:

  • Dante Basco is 40 years old now. He's in Disney’s 'American Dragon: Jake Long’ and is Prince Zuko in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender’. His biggest movie role post-'Hook’ was opposite Antonio Banderas in 'Take The Lead’.

  • That was actually Maxwell Hoffman, the IRL son of Dustin Hoffman (who played Hook, duh). Ceeeuuuuute.

  • Oooooh now this one's gonna hurt. Jack was the fresh-faced son of grown-up Peter AKA Robin Williams (sob) and before we reveal what he looks like now, we recommend you RUN HOME!! JACK, RUN HOME!!!! JAAAACK!

  • Told you. Charlie Korsmo is a lawyer now. A fucking lawyer. He starred in 'Can’t Hardly Wait’, but went on to study law at Yale instead of sticking with showbizniz. We don't know how to feel right now.
    6 of 24
  • And remember sexy ~teenage~ Peter Pan, who most definitely caused your sexual awakening as he flirted with that Wendy lady and that 'kiss' AKA thimble?!
    7 of 24
  • It was this dude, Ryan Francis, who went on to have small roles in Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. We like a man with taste.

  • You'll remember Wendy, because you were mad jealous of that sexy boy climbing in her bedroom window every night instead of yours. God, she was annoying.

  • *Now* it all makes sense, because it was a young Gwyneth Paltrow! She spends these days making up stupid new names for 'divorce', steam-cleaning her vagina, eating rabbit food and sometimes starring in films, we think.

  • Maggy babes, you were frickin' adorable until you opened your mouth and sang that hauntingly tuneless song to the pirates. We'd only just forgiven you for that fateful line: 'I wish Mommy was here', too. Jackass.
    imdb

  • WHOA, MAMA. Yep, Amber Scott's beautiful. This is her IMDB headshot, which implies she might be popping up on TV/movie screens in future, despite Hook being her only acting role. Watch this space.

  • Thudbutt needs no introduction (he does that himself if you clear the stairway).
    13 of 24
  • Raushan Hammond is now a magician, and didn't do much after his role in Hook. You can find his stuff on YouTube, but we recommend you stick with the fond memories of Thudbutt. Sigh. Why DO we have to grow up and ruin everything?!
    14 of 24
  • Only TOTAL CUTIE Too Small could get away with calling Robin Williams an 'old, fat, grandpa man'. ONLY HIM.

    15 of 24
  • And definitely not this dude, who is Thomas Tulak, AKA Too Big Now And We Don't Like It. You can also find him on YouTube, but again, we recommend you preserve your fond memories of Hook.
    16 of 24
  • We always felt there was something angelic about Pockets. He could do no wrong.
    17 of 24
  • WE WERE RIGHT. Isaiah Robinson is now a fantastic gospel choir singer - we'll let you break the YouTube rule for this one, he's awesome.

  • We're about to blow your mind with this one. Ace was quietly one of the best Lost Boys, in our humble opinion. AND...
    19 of 24
  • Jasen Fischer also played the lead in The Witches, the SHIT SCARY movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's hit book. We just didn't recognise him with those glasses and a rat in his pocket.
    20 of 24
  • Latchboy was the cutest, curliest little ginger ever AND he was the first to tell Peter 'I believe in you'. Awwww.
    Tristar Pictures/Sony/Moviepilot.com

  • Alex Zuckerman starred in movies called Blank Check and The Exorcist III, but our detective work ended there. Holler if you see this, ginge!

  • Don't Ask was charismatic AF, so no wonder the dude who played him went on to have the biggest career of them all...
    23 of 24
  • James Madio was so well-liked by Dustin Hoffman that he hand-picked the lad to play his son in 1992’s 'Hero’. He starred with Leo DiCaprio as a drug addict in 1995’s 'The Basketball Diaries’ too!
