When they took the world by storm with their 1997 debut album, Middle of Nowhere — which spawned the mega-successful single “MMMBop” — the Hanson brothers were just 16, 14, and 11 years old. But Isaac, Taylor and ZacHanson are all grown up now, and fans have nothing but love for the musical siblings.
In a recent clip shared on TikTok, the brothers performed “MMMBop” live onstage as audience members screamed and waved their arms. While they sounded just as youthful as ever, stunned fans in the comments couldn’t help but point out how different the brothers looked (only Taylor, 41, still has long blonde hair, which was pulled back into a ponytail in the video, and Isaac, 43, and Taylor both have facial hair, which they obviously didn’t have in 1997).
“Omg how are they so good looking I grew up with them listening obviously not literally,” one person joked.
“Taylor is hot as hell,” another commenter gushed, with someone else adding, “All of them.”
“How dare he be married for years and have like 18 kids,” another fan quipped (Taylor actually shares seven children with his wife Natalie; the brothers are dads to 15 children between them.)
“Sure is hot,” yet another TikTok user declared.
In an interview with People last fall, the brothers opened up about what it’s like to be forever associated with a song they sang as teenagers.
“I mean, we’re proud of where we’ve come from,” they said. “You never want to live in the past, but your origin is what it is. It’s where you came [from] and there was a lot of great music.”
“Rock bands, pop bands, Hip-Hop, R&B, all happening at once,” the brothers added. “And the way the Top 40 was, it was definitely like a hop. We took No. 1 from Notorious B.I.G. That’s what [the music scene] looked like.”
