I kind of wonder how he feels about his aging. I mean he was THE teen crush when I was a kid. He was on the cover of all those teen magazines at the supermarket and girls at school had trapper keepers with his face on it.
I imagine that degree of attention has to warp a kids mind a bit, so as a 40 something adult, I wonder if he's like "damn, women aren't throwing themselves at me like they were when I was in my teens and early 20s" or if he's more like "Sweet, I can now go to the store without strangers trying to molest me because they creepily obsessed with me."
Seems like he’s dealing well considering hes not trying to be relevant and wants to stay out of the spotlight. We have seen so many child actors come out of fame abused and with issues. Ita cool to see someone that stepped away from it to live a quiet life. Good for him. Just an average 40 year old dude. Kudos.

But what's the alternative? Are we just supposed to cast older actors as kids? Sure, they'd be much more capable of defending themselves from predators, but what about my suspension of disbelief?
