What Do They Look Like Now?

Some of these will suprise you. Remember some of your favorite movies from the 80’s/90’s? Wonder what some of those child stars look like now?

Mara Wilson from “Matilda” has, it seems, dropped off the face of the planet. Actually she just quit acting. Here is what she had to say about it along w/some pics of former child stars and what they look like now.

Mara told the website, “It was sort of a slow realization. I think it was the realization that I didn’t have to do it anymore. It felt like a constant in my life for a very long time…but I was never really that crazy about it after ‘Matilda,’ I would say. After that, I wasn’t as passionate about it anymore. And people grow out of things. That’s something people don’t really understand.” She continued, “I was 13 and I was awkward, and I was gawky, and I was not a very cute kid anymore. So, Hollywood didn’t really want me at that point, and I was kind of over it, too. So, after a while, it feels like a mutual breakup. That’s the way that I’d describe it.”
