The ’90s heartthrob indulged us by looking through his old pinups from Teen Beat and the like.

Late last week, Andrew Keegan — yes, THE Andrew Keegan — appeared at the BuzzFeed offices with a bonsai tree in hand. (It was a gift for the office.) If you grew up in the '90s, you will likely know him from his roles in 10 Things I Hate About You, Camp Nowhere, 7th Heaven, and Party of Five — or, like me, because his posters were plastered all over your walls. We spent the afternoon talking about the '90s (of course), his adult life (he still surfs), and his home for the past 12 years, Venice Beach. He even took us all out to the bar. But before we lived our actual '90s dream by going out with The Keegs, we asked him about those pin-ups in teen magazines. Luckily, he obliged.
Here's the first! Bring back any memories?
AK: That is so funny! That was Montu, my lizard. But now, looking at it in this setting, this is so weird. He used to climb the tree a lot … Here's an awful story for you. He went missing and we thought he went up the tree, because he'd done that many times — he'd climb up a tree like 20 feet and we'd grab him and bring him back down. And then he was missing, and months and months went by, and my mom looked down in her closet. And they like to hide. He had gotten into the back of the closet and got stuck. He was between suitcases or something.
