What does Adrian Grenier look like now? Entourage star surfaces in Melbourne nine years after playing Hollywood heartthrob Vincent Chase
He shot to fame playing Hollywood actor Vincent Chase in HBO’s iconic drama Entourage.
And Adrian Grenier, 44, proved he’s barely aged a day since his Entourage fame as he surfaced on Australian breakfast television on Thursday.
The American actor, who is currently based in Melbourne, flaunted his eternally-youthful complexion as he spoke to Channel Seven’s The Morning Show about his eight-season stint on Entourage.
‘I think [Entourage] locked into the iconic memory of our culture,’ he told presenters Kylie Gillies and Matt Doran.
‘It definitely defined and era and it’s one of those shows that will be forever in our hearts and minds,’ he added.
When quizzed on how his career compares to that of his movie star character Vincent, Adrian humbly admitted: ‘The truth is, just like everyone else, I wished that I could be Vinny too.’

‘But unfortunately, after we yelled cut at the end of the day, I would hang up my hair and be myself,’ he shrugged.
Adrian starred in Entourage from 2004 to 2011, before briefly reprising the role to star in the 2015 film of the same name.
In 2006, arguably at the height of his fame, he nabbed a role in the hit film The Devil Wears Prada, starring opposite Anne Hathaway.

‘That was one of the movies that just came together effortlessly,’ he told The Morning Show when asked to describe his experiences filming the box office smash.
Unfortunately in the years since Entourage wrapped, Adrian has struggled to land many big Hollywood roles.
His most recent on-screen appearance was in Stage Mother, a 2020 Canadian film about drag culture, and the 2019 Hallmark film Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holiday.

Speaking to Page Six in 2015, Adrian admitted he was struggling to score bigger acting gigs because he’d been typecast by his role in Entourage.
‘It’s funny because what people don’t know is I too wish that I was Vince’, he said.
‘I’m not, I play the character. At the end of the day, I go home and I’m me. I share that fantasy as well — have a lifestyle with no consequences? Sounds great!’
