Where is Jaleel White (Urkel)? What is Macaulay Culkin
(Kevin from “Home Alone”) doing now? We recently started to
wonder some of the exact same things.
Generally speaking, many child stars are just that, stars
when they are children, and once they grow up, they all but fall
off the face of the earth.
Some child stars actually do grow up to be even more famous, though. Take Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, and Drew
Barrymore for example. Then, some are only mildly famous
(Taylor Momsen, Frankie Muniz, Matt Dillon). And finally, there
are also the D-list celebrities that you would generally find on
Dancing With The Stars (Danny Masterson, Peter Billingsley,
Aileen Quinn).
So, with that in mind, we compiled a large list of former
child stars and sorted them all into three categories: Famous,
Not So Famous, and Who?
Also, at the bottom, we also have a little game. See if you
can match all of the One-Hit Wonders with what song they sang.
Enjoy!
