Remember nerdy mathlete Kevin G from Mean Girls? He’s a hell of a lot hotter these days

Rajiv Surendra's gone from maths swat to hot shot

IF LINDSAY Lohan turning 30 wasn’t enough to make you feel old, Mean Girls was released 12 YEARS ago.

It’s no secret what LiLo is getting up to nowadays… but what about another iconic cast member of the popular rom-com?

Nerdy badass MC, Kevin G, played by Rajiv Surendra, is definitely one of the most loved characters of the cult romantic comedy.

There’s no doubt that people fell in love with Kevin’s character after his hilarious performance in the North Shore High School talent show.

Nailing the comic timing, Rajiv provided plenty of laughs by failing to hit on his classmates and attempting to make maths cool.

After Rajiv featured in Mean Girls, which grossed over £97 million worldwide, he seems to have stepped away from the limelight.

A year after Rajiv played Kevin G, he starred as a main character in dark comedy 6 ft. in 7 min.

Despite his acting talent, Rajiv hasn’t been credited to any other film or TV roles for over a decade.

After attending special-arts high school, Wexford School for the Arts, Rajiv honed his skills in painting, sculpting and pottery before continuing his studies in the University of Toronto.

Now, he works as an artist and calligrapher in Toronto, Canada.

Impressively, Rajiv often posts examples of his work to Instagram, where he has over 4,800 followers.

It’s not just art work that Rajiv shares with his followers, as he’s regularly uploads suave snaps of himself.

There's no denying that today, Rajiv looks very different from his geeky onscreen alter-ego.
