Whatever happened to Westley from 'The Princess Bride'? He's still a Hollywood staple -- and super hot

Inconceivable! Carey Elwes one of the most recognizable faces of the 1980s -- but if you saw him on the street today, you'd probably have no idea.

Elwes starred as the romantic sword-wielding Westley in 1987's "The Princess Bride." Then 24, the British blonde's signature phrase -- "As you wish" -- helped launch the film into cult classic territory.

While he may not be a household name, ever since his breakout role, he's maintained a successful acting career. You've probably seen him in tons of flicks without even realizing it was him! He's had roles in dozens of big-time TV shows and films, and he even lent his voice to "Family Guy" for multiple characters. Later this year he stars as Andy Warhol in "Billionaire Boys Club," alongside an all-star cast including Emma Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Billie Lourd and Ansel Elgort.

Here's him in "The Princess Bride" in 1987 and in April 2017:
