Just like any of us, child stars go through the puberty stage and surprise everyone with their incredible transformation. They know the whole world is watching, and more often than not, they get pressured by Hollywood’s standards of beauty. Thankfully, they managed to kick off puberty to a certain degree and shrugged off their early awkward phases. Now, they’ve become gorgeous-looking young adults who are ready to take on whatever the world throws at them.
Here are some of Hollywood’s former child stars who achieved a significant glow up while growing up:
Jonathan Lipnicki
Who would forget the adorable boy from Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little? Jonathan Lipnicki used to be a little darling who portrayed a sweet, loving boy in those films. He also received television credits from Dawson’s Creek and Meego. The actor once wore huge eyeglasses as a child actor, but now, it seems that all he has are big muscles. Now 30 years old, he transitioned into a super buff man and is reported to be competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Way to go, Jonathan!
Josh Peck
Remember Josh from the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh? Well, look at him now. From once a big fat teenage boy to now a hottie, Josh could definitely make girls swoon really hard! But, sorry ladies, he’s now taken! Josh married his longtime girlfriend, Paige O’Brien, in 2017. They have one child together. Anyway, he’s still maintaining his credit score in the entertainment industry and has an upcoming lead role in the film entitled Bukowski.
Alyson Stoner
Alyson Stoner wowed us with her multiple talents as a child. If you’ve seen Missy Elliott’s music videos where she danced as a little girl, you’d be surprised to see what Alyson looks like now. The 27-year-old former child star turned out to be a head-to-toe stunner. Whatever her beauty investments are, we’d love to know more about them. Anyhow, Alyson continues to provide the voice of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro in the animated show Phineas and Ferb. She can dance, sing, and act and has proved to us she can have it all.
Matthew Lewis
All Harry Potter fans witnessed Matthew Lewis’ transformation. From his role as the gawky Neville Longbottom in the film series, Matthew grew up to be a handsome young man. He is now 31 years old and occasionally performs on stage and appears on television. For his contribution to the arts and charity work, Matthew received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Leeds Metropolitan University. He just keeps on impressing us as time goes by. We hate to break the news to you ladies, but Matthew is currently engaged to be married.
Michelle Trachtenberg
She used to be every young boy’s crush. Michelle Trachtenberg played roles in Harriet the Spy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a child star, capturing the audience’s hearts. While growing up, she amazed us with her acting skills in EuroTrip and Gossip Girl. Fast forward to now, the former actress recently turned 35 and has been inactive in the show business. It was reported that she now devotes her time to various charity organizations, which makes us admire her more. We wish Michelle all the best in her investment planning and other endeavors.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Who would have thought that the long-haired lad from the American sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun would grow up to become a heartthrob? Joseph Gordon-Levitt amazed us with his versatile acting skills, credits to the iconic films (500) Days of Summer and Inception. In 2000, he attended Columbia University to study history, literature, and French poetry but decided to quit to pursue acting instead. Nonetheless, he’s now one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
