We Came Across These Photos Of Our Favourite 90s Child Stars And We're Shook

We're officially shaking...

Watching our favourite Christmas movies over the last week or so has left us wondering what happened to those kids we looked up to so much as, well, kids? It turns out a lot of our childhood heroes are still acting but by golly have they changed:

1. Goodnight Mr. Tom (1998)

A TV classic based on a book most of us had to read in school at some stage or another, Goodnight Mr. Tom broke our hearts thanks to the brilliant performance of William (Nick Robinson). William is now 31 and continues to star in theatre productions.

2. The Little Rascals (1994)

Growing up The Little Rascals was one of our favourites and we'll never forget the romance between Darlan and Alfalfa. Here's what this little rascal looks like now:

3. Jumanji (1995)

Remember Bradley Pierce? Pierce played Peter Shepherd alongside Kirsten Dunst, who played his sister Judy in Jumanji and also starred in The Borrowers.

4. Matilda (1996)

Mara Wilson starred in the classics Ms. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street, and, of course, Matilda. She is a published author, her book Where Am I Now? discusses her fame as a child, and is occasionally credited as a voice actor.

NOW

5. Hocus Pocus (1993)

Thora Birch was a break out star after the success of Hocus Pocus but we'd forgotten all about her until now. She currently stars in science-fiction drama Colony which has been renewed for a third season.

THEN

NOW

6. Into The West (1992)

Our very own Rúaidhrí Conroy continues to act at home and abroad but Irish fans will always remember his role as Tito (Taay-toe) in Into The West.

THEN

NOW

7. James And The Giant Peach (1996)

A Roald Dahl classic, James And the Giant Peach was Paul Terry's only movie role and he no longer acts.

THEN

NOW

8. Madeline (1998)

The 1998 classic Madeline starred Hatty Jones as Madeline, an orphan who lives in a boarding school in Paris - think of it as the French version of Matilda. Hatty still makes appearances in television programmes such as Holby City but Madeline is her only movie role.

THEN

NOW

9. My Girl (1991)

My Girl star Anna Chlumsky, who played Vada, has been Emmy nominated five times for her role as Amy Brookheimer in the political satire Veep.

THEN

NOW

10. Stuart Little (1999)

Jonathan Lipnicki was the star of Jerry Maguire and The Little Vampire and has continued to act in independent films since his debut in 1996. He is a mixed martial arts specialist but has no plans to become a professional fighter.

THENNOW

11. Jingle All The Way (1996)

Jake Lloyd was a massive star back in the day and starred in two classics Jingle All The Way and Star Wars. Two years ago Lloyd was arrested for fleeing police officers in a car chase and driving without a license.

12. Hook (1991)

Another Robin Williams classic, Hook introduced us to Jack and Maggie Banning. Charlie Korsmo, who played Jack, has left the acting profession and is now a top-notch law professor and Amber Scott, who played Maggie, who hasn't starred in anything since 1995.

13. Spy Kids (2001)

The Spy Kids franchise was a massive success in the early noughties and launched the careers of Daryl Sabara (Juni Cortez) and Alexa Vega (Carmen Cortez) who played spy kids. Vega hasn't changed in 17 years but Sabara has been recently making headlines thanks to his engagement to pop star Meghan Trainor.

THEN

NOW

14. The Sixth Sense (1999)

We've kept our most shook worthy addition till last. One of our favourite horrors to watch in the 90s was the Sixth Sense and it didn't matter that we were far too young. One person that has changed entirely is the star of the movie "I see dead people" Haley Joel Osment.
