Chart-Topping '90s Rocker, 59, Stuns Fans With Unexpected Side Career
Chart-Topping '90s Rocker, 59, Stuns Fans With Unexpected Side Career originally appeared on Parade. While Gen X fans might remember Dexter Holland as the energetic frontman for '90s rock band The Offspring, the 59-year-old can do a lot more than sing hits like "Come Out and Play" and "Keep 'Em Separated," as a recent video proved. In a clip shared to TikTok this week, Holland addressed the camera while driving himself to the airport for a very special reason. "Hello folks," Holland said, his bleached blond hair short and spiky. "I am headed to the airport, because today, I am doing an Angel Flight," he continued, adding, "Angel Flight is this organization where volunteer pilots like me use their airplanes to take people with medical needs where they need to go. And today I'm going to be picking up some kids with special needs in Las Vegas and dropping them off in Fresno." Holland, who is a licensed pilot in addition to being a molecular biologist, went on to talk about where the kids on his plane were headed. "There's this amazing foundation that set up a summer camp for kids with burn trauma, and they can go there and just kind of bond with each other or get counseling and medical advice or attention and you know, I think, most of all, just be kids for a week," Holland explained. "So I'm looking forward to meeting them, getting to know these kids a little bit, getting them to where they need to go for hopefully a great week at camp. A pretty nice little Saturday, a Will Ferrell reference," he added, quoting the movie Old School. Fans were blown away by Holland's surprising side gig. "Can you imagine being taken to camp by Dexter Holland? That is so cool!" one person gushed, with another raving, "You are truly an amazing guy Dexter." "What a wonderful thing to do, hope the kids have a lovely week," added someone else. As it turns out, Holland was initially more interested in becoming a pilot than a musician. "I wanted to fly fighter jets when I was a kid," he said in a 2024 interview, as reported by Blabbermouth. "And I tried to get in the [United States] Air Force Academy, and I almost got in," he continued. "They weren't gonna let me fly because I had to wear contact lenses or whatever. And so I decided to do something else, and I went to university instead, but I always wanted to fly. And so when I finally had the chance to later on, after the band took off, I started flying and I just get a big kick out of it. I love it." Even so, when he's on tour, Holland always makes sure to have a little backup on hand. "I have a plane, and we take it on tour. But I will say I always take a pilot with me on tour. I don't wanna take all the credit, because on tour you should probably have some help in the flying department," he '90s Rocker, 59, Stuns Fans With Unexpected Side Career first appeared on Parade on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
