David, 52, looked worlds away from his younger self while hitting the red carpet for the Los Angeles Premiere of Universal Pictures’ Abigail at Regency Village Theatre.
The former professional wrestler flaunted his style in a white tank top, red and green plaid blazer, green slacks, a black belt, and matching Nike sneakers.
The Teen Choice Award winner accessorized with a simple necklace chain as he grinned for cameras at the star-studded event.
David looked much different than his Scream persona while rocking fully gray hair and beard stubble.

ACTING CAREER
The movie star was born in Virginia in September 1971, and he and all four of his siblings pursued a career in acting.
The pro wrestler appeared in several beloved 90s films, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Airheads, and Never Been Kissed.
He also scored some TV appearances in shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Friends.
David’s biggest success came when he was cast in the 1996 slasher film, Scream.
While filming, the actor met his future wife, Friends star Courteney Cox, and the couple tied the knot in 1999.
Together they formed their own production company, Coquette, which has produced several successful TV series including Cougar Town.
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP
In addition to his acting career, David was also a successful professional wrestler, appearing in several World Championship Wrestling storylines.
In 2000, he was named the WCW Heavyweight Champion, a title he only held for 12 days.
But by May 2007, the TV star announced he was retiring from his wrestling career.
David and Courteney welcomed their daughter Coco in 2004, though just six years later in 2010 they announced their separation.
When you’re comparing yourself to someone who’s at the top of the television iconic world, it’s kind of hard to put yourself there.

DAVID AND COURTENEY
The couple filed for divorce in 2012 and finalized a year later, both citing irreconcilable differences.
The pair requested joint legal and physical custody of their daughter.
In an April 2023 appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, David confessed that he struggled with feeling “inferior” to his ex-wife’s success on the sitcom Friends.
“It’s difficult, I mean in terms of like, I have some of the traditional male things where I want to like, provide and pick up the check and, you know, be the breadwinner,” he shared.
“In the acting world, in general, you’re always going on this roller coaster of popularity and not able to get a job. So it’s like this weird thing.
“And then, when you’re comparing yourself to someone who’s at the top of the television iconic world, it’s kind of hard to put yourself there.”
SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE
In 2011 during his separation from Courteney, David began dating journalist and producer Christina McLarty.
After a brief split in 2012, they reconciled and tied the knot in 2015.
Two years later, the actor welcomed his second child, Charlie West, with his new wife.
In 2017, Christina gave birth to the couple’s son Augustus Alexis.
December 2023, David reconnected with the cast of Scream, nearly three decades after the release of the 90s film.
The cast posed together for a group photo while attending Comic Con.
