January 15, 2026
Michael Vartan looked completely disguised during his latest public appearance after going off the grid with his Hollywood exit in 2018.
The 57-year-old actor was seen shopping for groceries in Los Angeles on Monday, January 13, and was hard to recognise.
The Alias star sported a casual outfit based on a black hoodie, Puma pants, and a Los Angeles Kings hat, and looked visibly older with a grey beard and glasses.
The actor was a Hollywood heartthrob back in the 2000s and attracted huge fan following after his role in Alias with Jennifer Garner.
Garner and Vartan went on to date in 2003 but their relationship was short-lived and they soon went their separate ways, but remain friends till now.
Vartan also appeared in Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore, and Monster-in-Law with Jennifer Lopez.
He was last seen on the screen in an episode of God Friended Me back in 2018, and has since been withdrawn from the public eye.
Despite putting his Hollywood career to an end, Vartan has maintained his friendships and his co-star Garner wished him happy birthday on Instagram back in 2023, with a picture of them together.
