15 years after 'Holes,' Zero put on his orange jumpsuit again

It's a nostalgic thirst trap for nineties kids.

Remember the movie Holes?

It told the story of a family curse, a broken justice system, and the unlikely friendship between walking palindrome Stanley Yelnats and Hector "Zero" Zeroni.

Holes came out an entire 15 years ago on Wednesday, and to commemorate it, Zero wore the iconic orange jumpsuit again.

Khleo Thomas, who played Zero, had promised that if his Instagram post got 1,000 comments, he'd post a photo of himself in the actual costume he wore in the film.

And he followed through with not one, but THREE pictures of that bright orange jumpsuit in a nostalgic thirst trap.

"15 years later and it still fits," he posted on Instagram and Twitter.

Honestly, it could be a Coachella look.

Thomas also used the moment to promote his streetwear brand Slick Living, which released a line called ZERONI in honor of Holes. Five Slick Living customers were promised a signed copy of the Holes DVD if they bought a ZERONI piece. (The anniversary drop features a bright orange hoodie as an homage to the movie's jumpsuits.)

One Holes fan decided to shoot her shot with a movie-themed pickup line.

Another called him out, because let's be real, that jumpsuit was a tight fit.

Others had their own quarter-life crisis in the comments.

Sorry, Orange Is the New Black. Holes did it first.
