everyone wanted a piece of these actors
until they grew up welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be taking
a look back at the top ten forgotten
yang stars number ten Peter Ostrom
kicking off our list is the child star
of 1971’s film adaptation Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory
kind of like the hunt for the golden
ticket Ostrom was discovered during a
nationwide search for an actor to
portray Charlie Bucket
he was then offered a three-film
contract but since he didn’t see the
glamour and acting he did the
unthinkable he refused and became a
veterinarian and a farm owner what
happened did you shut moron number nine
mara Wilson after appearing in classics
like mrs. Doubtfire Miracle on 34th
Street and Matilda something happened to
this child star she abruptly quit the
business in 2000 citing a loss of
interest and lack of enjoyment today
she’s a playwright who prefers the quiet
dignity of stage performances to the
cameras crews and crazed fans it’s a
pleasure
number 8 Jonathan Lipnicki this adorable
young actor made it big in Jerry Maguire
as the son of Renee Zellweger’s
character and went on to appear in dr.
Dolittle and Stewart little he does
still work in the biz but hasn’t been on
the radar much you know since he grew up
now offense petty he sticks to
independent films is involved with
several charities and is the
International spokesperson for pediatric
chiropractic and kids day international
and a kid needs to be really cute so I
ordered Jonathan Lipnicki that is the
cute little guy now hang on oh my god
what happened to you number seven Ralph
Macchio next up is the Karate Kid
himself Macchio rose to international
stardom in his early 20s by playing
fourteen-year-old Daniel Larusso and not
one but three Karate Kid films he also
starred in My Cousin Vinny and the
outsiders plus he made the covers of
several teen magazines but things
abruptly slowed down and decades later
he appeared on the
wealth season of Dancing with the Stars
things slow down those roles as
adolescent roles that I was so famous
for sort of waned and you get in though
the ebbs and flows of an actor’s career
number six the two Coreys Haman Feldman
were the two Coreys and they were huge
in the 80s these teen idols were pals
who start in several flicks individually
before they united on screen in The Lost
Boys
sadly Korey fever ran cold as drug
addiction took over the pair briefly
rekindled their past popularity with a
reality show about their lives before an
overdose claimed tames life in 2010 he
always had his talent he always at his
skill and he always tried to be the best
person he could number five Jonathan
Taylor Thomas hey there if you were a
teenage girl in the 90s
chances are you remember when jtt was
the hottest thing around this hunk
played Randy Taylor on the hit sitcom
home improvement and voiced Simba in the
Lion King he washed out late in the
decade when Fame went to his head and he
skipped the final season of his show to
become a movie star the result was the
flop I’ll be home for Christmas while
that’s my fault
busy time of year for me oh I’m a nail
number four Edward Furlong the only star
more popular with the ladies than jtt
was this t2 bad boy as John Connor for
long became an overnight sensation
unfortunately after filming American
History X he developed a nasty drug
addiction that caused a downward spiral
he blamed showbiz for giving AM easy
access to drugs got stopped for a DUI
and stole lobsters from a grocery store
we’re still waiting for his big comeback
number three Haley Joel Osment this
young star was nominated for an Oscar at
just 11 years old
Osmond was the hottest child actor of
his day which earned him spots and films
like Forrest Gump AI artificial
intelligence pay it forward and of
course The Sixth Sense
sadly he was out of a job the moment his
voice broke his sudden fall from grace
culminated with a 2006 car accident and
DUI number two
Jake Lloyd Lloyd’s rise and fall was the
quickest of any on this list he starred
as Anakin Skywalker in the long awaited
and overly hyped Star Wars prequel The
Phantom Menace the film was horribly
received and in the backlash Lloyd was
tormented and bullied for helping
tarnish the beloved franchise I do what
I can did I get recognized on the street
under much pressure and distress he quit
show business in 2001 but not before he
destroyed all his Star Wars memorabilia
number 1 Macaulay Culkin taking the top
spot on our list is the king of
Forgotten child stars from home alone
Richie Rich and Uncle Buck to my girl
the pagemaster and the good son he was
considered the most successful child
star since Shirley Temple unfortunately
many fans remember him for his
involvement in the Michael Jackson sex
scandal and for his drug possession let
I’m a good shape
