From her early rise to fame in movies like “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls,” Lindsay became a subject of intense media attention, often overshadowing her talent. However, these heartwarming images of her growing belly not only celebrate her impending motherhood but also symbolize her resilience and ability to overcome the challenges of her past.
Will Poulter gained recognition for his roles in acclaimed films such as The Maze Runner and Guardians of the Galaxy. But throughout his career, he has found himself confronting one peculiar nickname, the ’Eyebrow Actor.’ While many would dismiss such a label as a passing joke, Poulter took the opportunity to respond with grace and poise, delivering a powerful message that transcends the superficiality of a single feature.
The young faces we once saw on our screens are now entering their 30s and marking a significant milestone in their lives. It’s genuinely nostalgic to compare the images of these former child actors from their early days in the industry to the adults they have become today.
Mara Wilson, the star who embodied Matilda, went through one of the most challenging moments in her life while filming this movie. Nevertheless, her story shows that even at our lowest, there’s always someone willing to offer us a helping hand. In Mara’s case, that special someone was the director of the film she was starring in — Danny DeVito.
Child actors often capture our hearts with their performances, but as they grow up, some of them choose to shift away from acting, and some remain in the spotlight. It’s interesting to see what they are up to now and how they have evolved in their respective careers. From exploring new industries to furthering their education, these former child stars have taken various paths after their successful stints in acting.
During a recent interview, Riverdale star Cole Sprouse made some shocking revelations about his upbringing. One of the bombshells he dropped was that he and his twin brother Dylan Sprouse were forced to pursue acting at a young age to earn money for the family. Their story showed that Hollywood is not just a place where you can satisfy your passion, but also a place where your success can help meet basic human needs.
Children raised by parents who set firm rules and boundaries are more likely to be confident, achieve academic success, be better at problem-solving, and have greater social skills, studies say. And whether Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar is aware of this or not, she seems to practice a stricter parenting style.
There are some actors who we associate with roles they played when they were really young, so they are always children in our minds. However, time flies fast, and now some of these actors are about to turn 30 years old. Let’s see how much they’ve changed from the images we have of them in our heads.
Charlie Chaplin introduced the world to one of the first child actors in history — Jackie Coogan. Coogan was only 7 when he starred in the silent film titled The Kid (1921). Since that time, many talented kids have left their mark on the movie industry, especially when it comes to Christmas classics. Although not all of them continued to act, we decided to take a look at how much they’ve grown since starring in some of the most popular Christmas flicks ever.
The careers of actors who became famous very young don’t always go too well. And some of them, after finishing school, even choose ordinary, mundane jobs. And it’s hard to judge them for doing so. That being said, it’s even more interesting to watch child actors grow and continue to play roles in movies and TV shows. We remember them playing parts that won our hearts many years ago and are having fun discovering their more recent projects.
They say that kids grow too fast. And it’s hard to disagree. It is especially true for actors who rose to fame when they were still children. But they are adults now, and it’s not that easy to recognize them because of how different and mature they look.
Many people say “your kids grow up so fast,” but often, someone else’s kids seem to grow even faster. Family films and TV shows introduce us to gifted young actors, and we get so used to remembering them as cute little children that we’re absolutely taken aback when suddenly they become all grown up. Today, we invite you to check in on some of your favorite child actors and see how time has changed them.
Many actors from the past disappear from our screens without us even realizing. But our interest in their talent and beauty still lives in our hearts. Thankfully, many of them still share their life stories with us, so we can easily keep in touch with them.
Shirley Temple was one of Hollywood’s most successful child actors. She was welcomed at 3 years old into the film industry in the 1930’s and quickly became a household name. Since then, countless children have stolen the show with their talent, both on the big and small screens.
We can imagine that a special bond grows between an actor and his child co-star as they film their movie or series. After all, the child would certainly need a mentor to look up to in this industry, and no one can fill the role better than the professional actor playing opposite them. And after years since they last shared the screen, it is fascinating to know whether the 2 kept in touch, and to see how different they look next to each other now that the kid is all grown up.
It can take a long time to establish yourself as a great actor in Hollywood. So it’s easy to wonder how many of our favorite actors got their start. The answer is — a surprising amount of top Hollywood heavyweights started their acting careers as children, who never knew they would grow up to be famous. But with hard work, luck, and some star turns in our favorite movies, these actors found stardom young.Bright Side has gathered 16 celebrities who started out as child actors, and we certainly admire their talent and hard work.
Time flies by fast! The kids you used to see on TV a few years ago are all grown up now and are in their 30s. We can’t help but feel nostalgic when looking at the pictures of what former child actors looked like when they first started their career vs what they look like now.
Some people spend the biggest part of their youth (and sometimes their whole life) trying to understand what profession they want to build their career in. But there are lucky ones who selected their path back as teenagers and even in childhood. We’re talking about young actors, of course. From their cradle days onward, they managed to unfold their talent and become famous.
Show business is one of the very few industries in the US where it’s legal for a child to work. It’s also an industry where a child can be as professional as an adult. When 9-year-old Macaulay Culkin, the star of Home Alone, was working on the movie, he’d sleep on the ground between takes if he got tired, all so that we could experience the true magic of movies.
Dudley Dursley, Harry Potter’s nasty older cousin, will turn 41 in 2021. Little Emma, Ross and Rachel’s daughter, would turn 19 this year if Friends were still airing. Time flies, and iconic on-screen children are not children anymore.
It seems that some of the films and TV series we loved as children are now decades old. Think of The NeverEnding Story, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, or even Baywatch. And of course, the young actors that played child roles in these have grown up significantly. For example, Jonathan Lipnicki, the child star of Jerry Maguire, is already 30 years old, and Noah Hathaway, who is remembered for his performance as Atreyu in The NeverEnding Story, will turn 50 in November 2021. Even Georgie Henley, aka Lucy in The Chronicles of Narnia is now 25!
It may seem like yesterday when That’s So Raven and other sitcoms were just lined up for us and we used to go all ’aww’ when we saw all those child actors. They really did become a memorable part of our carefree childhood. But since growth is a part of life, some of these actors have furthered their careers in Hollywood, while others just chose a different career path.
Yes, Harry Potter was released more than 15 years ago and it’s been 26 years for Jurassic Park. Yes, we are all very old. And, while we were busy watching reruns of these classics, the actors who played the parts in them have aged quite a bit too. A LOT actually.
The filming of Harry Potter lasted for 10 years. Child actors who are in their 30s now devoted a third of their lives to this franchise, but not all of them continued their acting careers — some of them became photographers, musicians, and even jockeys. What are the people who played Luna, Neville, Seamus, and other characters doing now? Let’s find out!
