Isn’t it weird when you see someone from television or movies and they look vaguely familiar but you just can’t seem to place them? It’s likely because the last time you saw them, they were knee-high to a grasshopper. Now look at ’em–grown up and out on their own.

Here are 13 child stars from then and how they look now.

1. Alex Owens-Sarno

She was Cora in Titanic. She’s currently an “actress. writer. nerd with attitude.”

Had the honour of keynote speaking at @macmodelun gala dinner last night, talking about how I like to use art to connect with others and inspire change! All forms of art are so powerful, and it is so inspiring to see people’s ideas, passions and issues come to life through their artwork, and to collaborate with others to make positive change in the world! Through art we can all have a voice 💞 🎨 Will post the full speech on my Facebook page NicoleCrimiArt for those of you who would like to listen ☺️ … #artforchange #mcmasteruniversity #unitednations #artist #artwork #painting #abstractart #creativity #keynotespeaker #art #originalart #artfido #imaginationarts #oilpainting

Some people you train with are training partners, and some are family. Thank you for being an example of professionalism, drive, and kindness. They aren’t many people like @thastachemma

I’m always speechless when this happens. I literally am forever grateful that people love me, my work, & this character enough to dress as me for Halloween. And the baby girl at the end … I mean … y’all! 😍😍 It blows my mind. I appreciate and love you all more than I can ever say. I thank you for riding with me and for allowing me to have the career that I love so much. It’s all God’s grace. #Halloween2019 = 🔥🔥🔥

Seems like only yesterday we were watching these youngsters charm us on the screen. Or maybe because there was a Full House marathon on TV yesterday. Can you believe how much these actors have grown? Awww.
