Show us the stars! ‘Jerry Maguire’ hit theaters on Dec. 13, 1996, and became an instant classic. It’s been 24 years since Tom Cruise, Jonathan Lipnicki, and more stole our hearts. See the cast then and now.

Jerry Maguire is just one of those great movies you can watch over and over. Everyone always swoons when Tom Cruise’s Jerry Maguire says to Renée Zellweger’s Dorothy Boyd, “You complete me.” And then Dorothy later replies, “You had me at hello.” Simply legendary! Plus, no one can forget Jonathan Lipnicki’s scene-stealing performance as the adorable Ray Boyd.

Jerry Maguire featured an all-star cast. The movie became a box-office hit in 1996 and was nominated for 5 Academy Awards. See how the cast has changed in 24 years and what they’re up to today.
