"Last time I skated was the final day of filming D3," the caption began.  

"It's like riding a bike. With bones that have aged 30 years. 🤷. Such a blast working on promos for FunkAway. Thanks for giving me a reason to lace up. 🤑."

A youth ice hockey team's goalie, Goldie was originally a lazy character who developed into an essential member of the Mighty Ducks.

After his time in the successful films, Weiss underwent a public battle with addiction as his career plateaued.

In 2022, the former child actor celebrated two years of sobriety after a slew of run-ins with the law. The news came four years after one of his mugshots went viral.

He was arrested for public intoxication in August 2018. A year prior, he was sentenced to 90 days in a county jail for possession of suspected meth and 150 days behind bars for shoplifting at an electronics store.

Weiss' rep told Page Six at the time, "He has hit his bottom. Hopefully, he will stay clean and sober when he gets out."

At the height of his addiction, Weiss was arrested in 2020 for breaking into a man's home; his mugshot received international attention.

After getting sober and recovering, the '90s film star marked the occasion with an incredible side-by-side comparison of himself, revealing what he looked like at the height of his methamphetamine addiction two years earlier.

It seems Weiss is focusing on his recovery, starting to pursue exciting new job opportunities, and continuing to heal.
