Andrew Ridgeley Sexy

Peter Scolari. Jim Messina. Andrew Ridgeley. What do these three men have in common? They all saw their careers fade into the background as the person they first became famous alongside (Tom Hanks, Kenny Loggins, and George Michael, respectively) rocketed to super-stardom without them. 

Andrew Ridgeley is a slightly different story, however, as he never really craved the limelight in the same way his Wham! partner George Michael did, leading to him stepping aside from the music industry after the release of their final single together, "The Edge of Heaven." After splitting from Michael, Ridgeley went on to try his hand at several different trades from Formula Three racing to acting, before making a short-lived return to music in 1990. 

Andrew has escaped his reputation as both an also-ran and a party boy, but the 2023 Netflix documentary Wham! brought us back to the halcyon days for Ridgeley, showing him in his prime hanging out with George and looking spectacular in various swimsuits!
