If you grew up in the 90s and were lucky enough to have access to Nickelodeon, then you watched pretty much every episode of Saved By The Bell, know all the words to the theme tune, and you almost certainly fancied Kelly Kapowski.
At 26, JJ Watt is a prime candidate to be a 'Kenan & Kel' loving, 'Sabrina The Teenage Witch' quoting, Angelica Pickles hating 90s kid just like me, and sure enough, that's exactly what he is.
Before Watt took to the field to help the Texans claim a big win and deny the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a single touchdown, he had a pitchside chat with Mario Lopez, AKA the one and only AC Slater:
But that's not it.
As you can see in the caption, Watt asked the question everybody wanted to know..."Where is Kelly Kapowski?"
Turns out she's a big fan of JJ, and we're sick with jealousy.
Here we were thinking Mario Lopez has aged well.. Those Kapowski eyes are as mesmeric now as they were on the show.
He works harder than anyone in the NFL, and he reaps the rewards. And I know how he feels. My work for Balls.ie hasn't gone unnoticed in the realm of 90s Nickelodeon stars, because I am now followed by the actress who played 'Sabrina'.
Sorry, I just had to get that in there.
