Who's that babe?
Teen Magazine - 1997 By Evy Sheinkopf

Age: 23, Libra
Hometown: Chicago
Status: Taken

Where You Know Him:
Jeremy's done everything from romantic comedy to suspenseful drama. He played Gwynett Paltrow's love interest in Moonlight and Valentino and suffered at sea with 12 other babes in White Squall. But you probably know him best as the hip hottie Elton, who crushed hard for Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. "Elton was like the guys I knew in high school who thought they were cool but really weren't."

Big Debut:
He got his start in film at 16, when director Lawrence Kasdan cast him as a rebelious teen in Grand Canyon. "I got picked out of a bunch of video-taped auditions."

Recognition Realities:
"Sometimes people will just come up and say, 'I like your work.' That's one of the neat things about the job: You get to do what you love, and you get a lot of feedback."

What He Likes in a Girl:
"Intelligence, strength, a sense of humor and a whole lot of lip gloss." He laughs. "I think it's hard to explain what attracts you to a person."

Owner of a Broken Heart?:
Jeremy can be as sensitive and broody as some of his characters. "I've had my heart broken by friends, not just girlfriends. But that's what life is. You love someone, they leave you, and it's hard and sad."

First Kiss:
"I must have been in seventh or eight grade. My friend set me up with this really cute girl and we walked around a big mall, silent and totally miserable. At the end, we kissed. It rocked my world. Everything was spinning! I was laughing for six days."

Does He Think He's a Babe?:
"I'm flattered because I never thought I was."

Up Next:
Jeremy's in the suspenseful black comedy Suicide Kings, where he braods up a storm as TK. "The faitful, tragic best friend." He also plays Olympic runner Frank Shorter in the babe-flick Pre and will star in the up-coming-of-age drama Nobody's Children.
