In 1994, a new show called Heartbreak High made its debut, captivating audiences with its relatable characters and captivating storylines. One of those characters was Nick Poulos, played by a young and talented Alex Dimitriades. At just 21 years old, Alex was thrust into the spotlight and quickly became a heartthrob for fans all over the world. But 30 years have now passed, and if you were to see him today, you might do a double take.
Now 50 years old, Alex has come a long way since his days on Heartbreak High. He won over hearts with his performance on the Australian show, but also broke them when he abruptly left in late 1994. Despite his popularity, the show's creator, Network Ten, refused to pay Alex for the second season, leading to his character's tragic end. However, this unexpected departure did not hinder Alex's success. He went on to star in the award-winning series Blue Murder and The Infinite Man before leaving acting to pursue a career as DJ Boogie Monster, one of Sydney's top DJs.
As the 30th anniversary of the hit 90s show approaches, it's hard not to notice how much Alex has changed. Once known for his clean-shaven look and baby face with dark floppy hair, he now sports a more mature appearance. With a full beard or stubbled face and shorter hair, it's clear that time has passed since his days as Nick on Heartbreak High. But his transformation isn't just limited to his appearance. Alex has also traded in his relaxed attire for a more sophisticated t-shirt and blazer look.
In a recent interview with Daily Mail Australia, Alex reflected on his time in the industry and how fortunate he was to have his career set up and structured the way it was. He credits his success to the early start he got in the industry, with his first movie, The Heartbreak Kid, being a huge success. But at the time, he was just a teenager and had no idea what was going on. He was grateful for the opportunity and enjoyed living the dream, even though he never imagined himself becoming an actor.
Now, at 50 years old, Alex has shifted his focus from acting to DJing. In an interview with news.com.au, he shared his love for records and quality, inspired music. He also talked about his more sophisticated appearance, stating that he is still the same person despite looking different. He explained that he wanted to focus on the music and not get caught up in the idea of how great he is.
It's clear that Alex's career has taken many unexpected turns, but he has embraced each one and continues to thrive in whatever he does. As he enters his 50s, one thing is for sure – he is still making waves in the entertainment industry, whether it's through acting or DJing. And for fans who have followed his journey from Heartbreak High to now, it's been a wild and exciting ride.
