What Your Favorite Child Stars Look Like Now

It seems like just yesterday we were watching these actors and actresses as tweens and teens. But those familiar faces are definitely all grown up. Here, we're taking a look at what all of our favorite child stars are doing now.

It's hard to believe it's been over 20 years since Jonathan Lipnicki stole the show as Ray Boyd, the precocious and lovable kid in Jerry Maguire. You also might recognize him from the Stuart Little films, where he played George Little.

The actor has been keeping busy with roles in various films and television shows including Monk and Interns of F.I.E.L.D. He's also been spending his time practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and losing to Danielle Fishel at rap battles (sorry, kid).

When real-life twins Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit joined the Full House cast in the show's sixth season, they immediately stole the show. Playing Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's children, Nicky and Alex, the Tuomy-Wilhoits were absolutely adorable.

Believe it or not, the little Tuomy-Wilhoits you remember are now 28 years old. Thankfully, though, you can still catch them playing Jesse and Becky's twins on Netflix, where Full House lives on in the streaming service's new revival show, Fuller House.

Remember Rufio, aka the most famous of the Lost Boys in Hook? Known for both his bright red hair and the "Ru-fi-ooooooh!" chant that accompanies his arrival, Rufio, portrayed by actor Dante Basco, is one of the most iconic characters from the beloved 1991 film.

Since he played the scarlet-haired Lost Boy, Basco has grown up quite a bit — and he's got a much tamer haircut, of course. Basco has been keeping busy with many different types of roles, including voicing Zuko in the popular Avatar: The Last Airbender series and appearing on shows like Entourage and Community.

Remember the adorable little girl who starred alongside Macaulay Culkin in 1991's My Girl, i.e. one of the saddest comedies of the '90s? She's all grown up now.

While she took a six-year hiatus from acting between 1999 and 2005, her career is better than ever these days. Since 2012, Chlumsky has starred on HBO's hit comedy series Veep as Amy Brookheimer, chief of staff to Vice President Selina Meyer, a role for which she's earned six Emmy nominations.

From 1957 to 1963, Jerry Mathers charmed Leave It To Beaver's audiences each week as the Cleaver family's adorable little rascal, Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver.

After Leave It To Beaver, Jerry joined the United States Air Force Reserve, eventually rising to the rank of Sergeant. He's done a few acting parts here and there, and is now the national spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America organization.

Another Happy Days alum, Ron Howard first got his start as adorable redhead Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show before moving onto his role as Richie Cunningham.

Ron has made a name for himself as a director and producer, winning over critics and audiences alike with award-winning projects including A Beautiful Mind and Arrested Development.

Though she appeared in shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, Maureen's most famous role was on The Brady Bunch as the family's beautiful eldest daughter, Marcia Brady.

In 2008, Maureen published her controversial (and widely-read) autobiography, Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice, detailing her difficult experiences portraying one the of most famous characters of the 1970s.

Danica wooed the hearts of many teenage boys while playing Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years.

In 2014, Danica wowed audiences on Dancing With The Stars' 18th season, coming in sixth place with her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

Candace followed in the footsteps of her older brother Kirk, a.k.a. Mike Seaver of Growing Pains. In 1987, she was cast as D.J. Tanner in Full House, starting her career as one of most famous preteens of the late '80s and early '90s.

Candance reprised her role as D.J. Tanner for Netflix's Fuller House in 2016. The married mom-of-three has also written two books: Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness, a New York Times best seller, and Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose.

As a teenager, Corey starred in hits including Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Gremlins, and Stand By Me, making him a favorite '80s heartthrob.

Between 2007 and 2008, he appeared with fellow '80s star Corey Haim in the short-lived reality series The Two Coreys. He's also a big animal rights activist, appearing in a PETA ad with his now ex-wife Susie Feldman.

Who could forget this adorable little guy? With iconic roles in Home Alone, My Girl, and Richie Rich, Macaulay became one of the most famous child actors of all time.

He's since appeared in films like Saved! and Party Monster, but Macaulay has mostly stayed out of the spotlight — though his comedic band The Pizza Underground briefly gained notoriety when a video of the actor eating pizza went viral in 2013.

From 1994 to 1999, these identical twins charmed audiences while starring on Sister, Sister.

They've continued to appear on television: Tamera is currently co-hosting talk show The Real, while Tia stars on the Netflix show Family Reunion. They both have two children.

Anybody who grew up watching Boy Meets World in the '90s couldn't help but love the wise-beyond-her-years Topanga — and envy her thick, wavy blonde hair.

Talk about a career coming full circle! Danielle starred with fellow Boy Meets World cast member Ben Savage in the show's modern-day spinoff Girl Meets World.

Can you believe that Steve Urkel was originally only supposed to appear once on Family Matters? Fortunately, Jaleel's hilarious portrayal made Urkel an instant favorite, earning him a permanent spot on the show.

In 2012, Jaleel appeared on Dancing With The Stars, impressing judges with his partner Kym Johnson.

Tatyana started her acting career at the age of six on Sesame Street, then honed her comedic chops on the series that made Will Smith famous: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

After her Fresh Prince days, this brilliant lady went on to get her bachelor's degree in African-American Studies at Harvard University. She's also made television appearances on shows including Second Generation Wayans, The Eric Andre Show, and Love That Girl!.

In the '90s, Melissa played everyone's favorite know-it-all sorcerer on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

While she's no longer sporting her '90s scrunchie and glitter eyeshadow, Melissa is still looking great. She now has three children with husband Mark Wilkerson, and she starred in another hit show, Melissa & Joey, on Freeform from 2010 t0 2015.

Though she eventually had a show of her own (That's So Raven), Raven-Symoné got her start at the age of three on The Cosby Show.

Disney wasn't done telling Raven Baxter's story. The actress now stars in the modern revival, Raven's Home, which features her all grown up.

Twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dominated the child star game in the late '80s and early to mid-'90s, first both appearing as baby Michelle Tanner on Full House before moving on to more starring roles in their own films, including Passport to Paris and When in Rome.

While the Olsen twins have taken a step out of the TV and film spotlight, they are now two of the most successful designers in the fashion industry. Their couture label The Row and contemporary collection Elizabeth & James have gained huge followings amongst fashion's elite, as well as everyday women.

During the 2000s, Dakota appeared in huge blockbusters like Uptown Girls and War of the Worlds. And at the age of seven, she had already earned a Screen Actors Guild award nomination for her role in I Am Sam.

Can you believe she's already 25? The actress is also a bonafide fashionista, appearing on the covers of magazines including Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Vanity Fair.

Joshua played Charlie Conway, the unofficial team leader of the Ducks in The Mighty Ducks. Though he wasn't the most skilled player on the team — he would frequently miss important shots — Charlie was extremely loyal to the Ducks and his coach, viewing Gordon as somewhat of a father figure. He became more confident throughout the movie and — 23-year-old SPOILER ALERT — scored the championship-winning goal from a penalty shot in overtime.

Joshua is currently starring as Cole Lockhart on the Showtime drama The Affair. Before that, he starred in hit shows Fringe and Dawson's Creek, and according to his website, has appeared in over 30 films over the course of his career. (Remember his role on Cruel Intentions? Never forget.) In his personal life, he dated actress Diane Kruger from 2006 to 2018.

Elden played the role of Fulton Reed in The Mighty Ducks, an introvert who was recruited for the team after his powerful slapshot broke through Gordon's car window. He didn't say much throughout the movie, but he was an important team member that led to the Ducks' championship win.

Most recently, Elden starred as Foggy Nelson in Netflix's original series Daredevil, where he played the best friend and legal partner of the main character, Matt Murdock. He was also part of The Hunger Games franchise.

Marguerite played Connie, or "The Velvet Hammer" of The Mighty Ducks, as Averman referred to her as in the beginning of the film. She was the only girl on the team before Gordon recruited figure skater Tammy, and she didn't put up with any of the boys' immaturity. Connie was also romantically linked to Guy Germaine throughout the movie, and the two kissed at the end of the championship game.

Marguerite's breakout role was in 2001 as a camp counselor in the cult classic Wet Hot American Summer, which she followed with smaller roles in the The O.C., Parenthood, and Shameless. In July 2015, she reprised her role in Wet Hot American Summer in the Netflix reboot Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. That same month, she and her husband of five years, Christopher Redman, also welcomed their first child, Casper Hayes Redman.

Jussie played Jesse Hall's younger brother Terry in The Mighty Ducks. Though he was less outspoken than his older brother, he wasn't afraid to call out Gordon for his poor coaching in the beginning of the movie.

You'll probably recognize Jussie as one of the breakout stars of FOX's hit drama Empire, where he played Jamal Lyon, the middle son of hip-hop mogul Luscious and his ex-wife Cookie.

Perabo played the oldest Baker sibling of the bunch in the box office hit Cheaper by the Dozen.

To many of us, she'll always be Violet "Coyote Ugly" Sanford. But in recent years, she's also starred in TV series Covert Affairs and popped up in that strange Bruce Willis/Joseph Gordon Levitt movie Looper. She also likes to share photos of flowers on Instagram.

Welling was the football-playing, auto-welding second oldest Baker sibling in Cheaper by the Dozen and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

And he's still as beautiful now as he was back then.

Lorraine Baker from Cheaper by the Dozen was a fabulous character, even if it's hard to accept Hilary Duff as a "Lorraine," really; she just doesn't look like one, you know? Duff was arguably one of the most famous names in the movie at the time, having also played the title character in Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire.

Hilary's star hasn't waned since. She found success on TV Land's hit show, Younger, and she'll soon reprise her role as Lizzie McGuire for Disney's upcoming reboot.

Schmidt played second son and the token chubby Baker in Cheaper by the Dozen.

Schmidt continues to work as an actor and producer these days. Bonus fun fact: His brother Kendall was one-fourth of boy band Big Time Rush. Oh, and he owns a pig now.

Stoner played Sarah Baker, the resident trouble-maker in Cheaper by the Dozen and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

You may also know her as the girl from the Missy Elliott video! Riding high off the nostalgic publicity that came with Missy Elliott's Super Bowl moment, Stoner also released a single, "Pretty Girls."

She's the actress who played Jack Dawson's "best girl" (but perhaps his second-best dance partner) Cora in Titanic.

This lucky little lady is all grown up, now 30 years old and still a working actress in LA.

Remember Abigail? The child star who stole our hearts in Little Miss Sunshine?

The 23-year-old actress ain't so little anymore — she's shed the quirky track suit and glasses, and she starred in Ryan Murphy's campy TV series, Scream Queens.

Jeff Cohen played Chunk from The Goonies, and more importantly, coined the "Truffle Shuffle."

Since (sort of) leaving Hollywood, Jeff Cohen, who, as you can see, ain't so chunky anymore, became an entertainment lawyer. So, he's still tinseltown-adjacent.

Remember Tabitha Stephens from Bewitched?

When the show ended in 1972, child star Erin Murphy did some commercials and modeling gigs, but the 55-year-old has since left Hollywood. Now, the mom owns the business Slim Chillers, where she sells frozen vodka martini ice pops.

When's the last time you thought about Rachel's onscreen daughter Emma, from Friends? Baby girl(s) Geller-Green were played by twins Noelle and Cali Sheldon.

The twins are now 17 years old and still acting. They recently starred in Jordan Peele's thriller Us.

Ostrum was in the sixth grade performing regularly at the Cleveland Play House children's theatre when he was discovered by talent scouts who were searching the nation for an actor to play Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Though he was offered a three-film contract after filming for Willy Wonka was finished, the role of Charlie Bucket was Ostrum's only film appearance.

After graduating high school, Ostrum got a veterinarian degree from Cornell University. Today, he has his own veterinary practice in Lowville, New York. Ostrum has only made a few appearances in the media since portraying Charlie. In 2009, he partnered with Dunkin' Donuts in Boston to promote their campaign "You 'Kin Do It!" where he gave out Charlie Cards to commuters on the MBTA. One lucky participant received the "Golden Ticket" — unlimited rides on the commuter rail for a year and a year of free Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Ostrum has also appeared on Top Chefs: Just Desserts and Where Are They Now: Child Actors.

The part of Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was Bollner's acting debut, despite the fact that he only spoke German and had to be coached through his lines during shooting. Augustus is a greedy, gluttonous boy who is the first child to find a Golden Ticket — and the first child to be kicked off the tour of the factory.

Bollner wanted to pursue an acting career after his role in Willy Wonka, but his father made him quit so he could focus on his education. Today, Bollner lives in Munich, Germany, owns his own successful accounting firm, and works as a tax accountant.

Before being cast as gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka, Nickerson already had some acting experience up her sleeve. She had been a regular on the soap opera Dark Shadows for several years and she appeared in an episode of Flipper and The Doctors. Her character is known for being extremely competitive and always chewing gum — a habit that comes back to bite her after she tries a piece of gum that is still being tested and her skin turns blue.

After her role in Willy Wonka, Nickerson went on to appear in several smaller roles on TV shows, but her career was temporarily placed on hold after she was struck by a car while crossing the street. She chose to leave the acting business in 1978 to work as a nurse and is now a full-time mom.

When she was 12 years old, Cole was cast for the role of bratty, spoiled Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka. Her character is most noticeably known for her awful ways and for falling down a garbage shoot after interfering with the trained squirrels used to select the best nuts (you know what they say about karma).

While Cole's acting career began with the role of Veruca Salt, it certainly didn't end there. She has had a fairly successful career as an actress in the UK, playing in a few movies, starring in several TV shows, and performing in multiple theatre performances. She is the only actor from Willy Wonka who is still acting today.

Themmen played the part of Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, a boy who spends most of his time watching television (this was before Netflix) and who receives the fourth golden ticket. His character is most noticeably known for being shrunk down to a tiny size during a presentation of miniaturization technology. Before his part in Willy Wonka, Themmen was featured in several theatre performances, including Mame and The Rothchild's on Broadway.

Themmen decided to take a break from acting at the age of 14 in order to "just be a kid;" however, he received a B.F.A. in Theatre from New York University after high school. After graduation, he founded Access International, described on his website as "a travel service sending backpackers standby on charter flights to Europe." In recent years, he has been directing commercial casting sessions in Los Angeles and occasionally appearing at film conventions and in commercials. In 2000, he was an extra in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager.

Whelchel played Blair Warner from The Facts of Life, the spoiled rich girl everyone loved to hate — and of course the most glamorous of the group. But as we found in later seasons, she had a lot of emotions bubbling underneath her "Daddy's girl" surface.

In 2000, Whelchel founded Momtime, a "group of moms who meet weekly in a home to encourage one another, learn from each other's challenges, and most of all, be refreshed through laughter." How sweet is that? Plus, she's been speaking at Women of Faith conferences on topics like family and friendship. And contrary to so many child star cases, she somehow still looks exactly the same.

Gossipy Dorothy, a.k.a. Tootie, from The Facts of Life made us all fall in love with rollerskates and pigtails. Fun fact: Kim Fields actually had to wear braces until 1985, so the ones she wore in earlier seasons were totally real.

Now a mother-of-two, Fields has enjoyed a long career in acting, music, and directing. Talk about being multitalented, Tootie! Now if only she could say her "We're in trou-blllle!" catchphrase one last time, we'd be so happy.

Before today's "love your body" movement, the '80s had Natalie Green from The Facts of Life, whose self-love on TV was an inspiration to a generation of teen girls. She perfectly summed up all our thoughts with this quote: "Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy Magic Marker!"

Now 53, Cohn's now rocking some cool purple hair. If you're wondering why you haven't seen her on the small screen for a while, it's because she's doing work behind-the-scenes. From 2002 to 2015, Cohn voiced Velma Dinkley for the Scooby Doo franchise.

She didn't show up until the second season, but Joanna "Jo" Bonner from The Facts of Life was immediately an audience favorite. With her motorcycle and bad girl antics, she brought drama (and excitement) to the group. McKeon's role as Jo got her some serious attention — while the show was airing, she and her devout Catholic family were granted a visit with Pope John Paul II.

Since The Facts of Life, McKeon has appeared in shows like Without a Trace and Sonny With a Chance, as well as several made-for-TV movies. We have to admit: Even though we loved Jo, this haircut is so much better than her totally '80s mullet.
