You’d Do A Double Take If You Saw Lorenzo Lamas Now

When you think about classic TV hunks from the 80s and 90s, Lorenzo Lamas has to pop up. He was everywhere — that smoulder, that hair, and of course his role in Renegade as the broody ex-cop on a motorcycle. Back then, he was basically the dictionary definition of a Hollywood heartthrob.

But here’s the plot twist: the Lorenzo you remember? He looks pretty different these days. And honestly, that’s not a bad thing — just… not what you’d expect if you froze him in your mind as “Renegade Lorenzo.”

Born in 1958, Lorenzo was basically destined for the screen. His parents were actors Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl — so let’s just say his career wasn’t exactly a lucky accident. His good looks didn’t hurt his chances either. Who does’t like a tall, charming, charismatic man with a jawline most men can only dream of. He doesn’t look out of place as a hero in a movie or a model in a fancy men’s cologne ad.

His big moment? Playing Reno Raines in Renegade in the early ’90s. Long hair flowing, leather jacket, dangerous squint — he was every bit the action hero poster boy. And fans ate it up. For a while, Lorenzo was everywhere, splitting his time between TV and movies like the busiest man in Hollywood.

But, as happens in Hollywood, things slowed down. Aging in the entertainment industry is tough, and Lorenzo eventually stepped back from the spotlight. That’s when fans started noticing… he wasn’t the same guy with the perfect hair and sharp jawline. The years had done their thing.
