It’s been almost 20 years since we first met the students at P.S. 118. Over the course of 100 episodes, the kids of Hey Arnold! made themselves at home in our hearts. But what do they look like now?
Arnold
The football-headed star of the show grew up in a boarding house run by his grandparents. With the cast of characters that came through the house, Arnold really wore that instability on his face, and continues to do so to this day.
Helga
Helga Pataki carried the effects of her long-held but never-realized crush on Arnold throughout her life. The constant but silent yearning didn’t do any favors to her aging process.
Gerald
Arnold’s best friend Gerald always held a positive attitude, and never cracked under pressure. This outlook kept him looking young and fresh throughout the years.
Phoebe
Phoebe, on the other hand, hit a string of bad luck and has soured into a mean shell of what she used to be. The hard times she fell on are evident in every line on her face.
Eugene
Class klutz Eugene turned his constant misfortune into a self-help empire and was able to afford the best diet and exercise regimen money could buy. He almost looks younger than he did in the fourth grade!
Harold
A few years older than the rest of the gang, Harold became closer with everyone after an aggressive anti-bullying campaign. He really turned his life around, got in shape, and has become a positive influence in his community.
