Popular Hollywood Child Stars We Used to Adore – Find Out Who Grew Up To Be A Huge Success
Robert MacNaughton
You definitely remember Robert MacNaughton from the iconic film E.T. the Extraterrestrial. MacNaughton played Michael, the young boy assisting our favorite alien. He won the Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actor in A Motion, and while some believed he was the next big thing in Hollywood, he opted for a rather early retirement in 2002. Surprisingly, he then started working as a mail carrier. MacNaughton probably regretted giving up acting, and in 2015, he made his Hollywood comeback by landing minor roles in the movies Laugh Killer Laugh and Frankenstein VS. The Mummy. However, he disappeared from the spotlight once more, and little do we know what he’s up to today.
