18 Child Actors Who Used to Be Famous and Are Now Forgotten

Nathan Johnson Published 02/15/2021

Child actors! They're just like us, only with maybe a little more emotional trauma. Here's some of our favorite little stars all grown up to be great big disappointments.

If you're looking for more older celebrities to make fun of, check out this gallery. It's got a lot of good stuff to laugh at.

The thing about child stars is that a lot of them never asked for it. They are the produce of greedy parents who use their kids to reach the heights that they never could, and live vicariously somehow through this life that they were never talented enough to have, and yet their children are not emotionally mature enough to endure. I mean, quite a few adult celebrities end up going off their rockers, is it any surprise that it happens to kids so much? Especially as they have no opportunity to develop at all like a normal child? I blame the parents.
