5 Child Stars Who Actually Turned Out Normal

Jonathan Taylor Thomas – JTT Chose Harvard Over Hollywood

He was the voice of young Simba in The Lion King and the heartthrob of Home Improvement — the ’90s had a full-blown JTT obsession. At the height of his fame, he walked away from the show in 1998 to have a normal high school experience. He went on to graduate from Harvard and Columbia, focusing on education and travel. Today, at 44, he keeps an extremely low profile, occasionally directing or doing voice work — but mostly just living a quiet, balanced life. He’s the rare child star who actually got to grow up.
