The fat kid from Stand By Me sure has come a long way. Jerry O'Connell has been seen about town lately with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

The two lovebirds met on the set of their upcoming movie Fat Slags. Jerry plays a rich bachelor, while Halliwell portrays his assistant with romantic intentions for her boss.

Another case of life imitating art apparently.
