Too juicy!

Remember the ‘too juicy’ kid from the 90s Fruitella advert? You’ll NEVER guess what he’s up to now

The cheeky young lad from the cringy 90s commercial has grown up into a super cool rockstar

Whatever happened to the lad from the Fruitella advert?

REMEMBER the kid from the 90s Fruitella advert?

His sweets were too damned juicy for just about everyone, including his mum, his dad, his gran - even his pet shark.

The cringy advert, which featured the young teen jiving around and miming to a spoof of the song 'I'm too Sexy' by Right Said Fred, has been hailed as one that defined the generation of the decade.

But what ever happened to the sweetie-loving star of the show?

Well, we can reveal he's certainly gone up in the cool stakes since hitting our screens back in the 90s - and he isn't miming anymore.

Now, over 20 years later, Dean Micetich has grown up into a hunky rock star who lives in Los Angeles.

He's the lead singer and guitar player for a three-piece 'Rock N’ Roll machine' called .

According to the band's website, the group fuse "motorcycle-centric culture with old-school sound combining elements of classic Rock N’ Roll, blues and punk influences".

The Black Tibetans have been on countless tours and have shared the stage with bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Eagles of Death Metal - the band playing at the Bataclan in Paris when Isis terrorists opened fire there during a concert last year.

As if that wasn't cool enough, Micetich is also co-editor of his own bi-monthly motorbike magazine called Dice.

He started up the publication in 2004 with colleague Matt Davis and it's available to buy from select retailers worldwide and via the Dice magazine online shop.

According to the mag's website, it's suitable for readers with "gearhead tendencies" who "want to see the sort of one-off bikes being put together in basements, garages, and woodsheds around the world", the bikes "fondled by the wild-eyed and sleepless".

Micetich also has an adorable two-year-old son called Felix who appears to love leather jackets just as much as his daddy.

Now if THAT doesn't make you feel old, we don't know what will.

We presume he's still a fan of Fruitellas.
