Every time we turn around there’s another case of a young child star growing up to be *unexpectedly* dashing!
The latest star is from one of our favourite movies–Matilda. Remember the 1996 film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic novel which starred Danny Devito and Mara Wilson?
Well Jim Karz, who played Bruce Bogtrotter, is now 30. Bruce was the kid who Miss Trunchbull made eat a giant chocolate cake.
Jim hasn’t acted again since 1998, when he had a small role in ER. He was last known to be heading off to med school to study osteopathic medicine, according to a Twitter account aptly named, Where Are They Now?
