Christopher Atkins is now 58 years old. And now few people remember him. But once he drove thousands of fans crazy and all thanks to a single successful role in the film “The Blue Lagoon”.

It is worth mentioning that Christopher never had an acting education and he got on the set rather from a desire to light up. In ordinary life, he was just an athlete and a lifeguard on the beach.

For his role in the film, the actor was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and suddenly woke up famous and highly demanded. And he began to squander money from the fees received right and left. Crowds of fangirls swirled around, hoping that Christopher would turn his godlike eyes on them.

After a series of failures in the acting field, Atkins opened his own sports goods store and is quite successful in this business. Now he is the owner of a large sports goods company and a fishing tackle rental company.

In general, the actor, who in fact became known to the audience for only one successful role in the film, starred in 59 film projects. But it’s great that he has never hung up on acting, but has his own favorite business and hobby that brings him a good income. It is known that he has two children, but at the moment the actor is divorced.

Do you remember the bright star from the lovely film? Has he changed a lot from that time?
