These are enchanted stories, with touching morals, that we enjoy watching every year as a family. Love Actually and its more or less romantic love stories, The Grinch and his character by turns detestable and touching, without forgetting the essential Mom I missed the plane : these modern Christmas tales continue year after year to anchor a smile on the faces of young and old alike. The actors who play in these films have become for some, over the years, like friends that we are happy to see again and we sometimes identify with their joys and their sorrows. In many Christmas films, we have also discovered certain actors who, despite their young age, have burst onto the screen, and whose their career, years later, remains marked by the character they played during their first steps in the cinema.
Some child Christmas stars still occupy your screens: do you recognize them?
Macaulay Culkin remains associated with his role as Kevin McCallister, his character in Mom I missed the plane, which has become cult for an entire generation. Some of them have never left your screens, others have been more discreet. Being a child star isn’t always easy. If some, like Taylor Momsen, who played in The Grinch (and which we saw in Gossip Girl), or Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who we knew in Love Actually (and found later, notably, in the trilogy Labyrinth), continue their lives in the spotlight, this is not the case for some others. Whether it’s becausethey got fed up or because they did not manage to break into this profession, others, like Daniel Tay, who played in Elf, have completely disappeared from the radar. Yet we have managed to find out what many of them did after their early success. Discover in our slideshow at the top of the article what these actors have become today.
