Child Actors Who Grew Up to Be Major Movie Stars - Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins, Etc

Unlike some child actors who disappear after hitting puberty, there are those few who beat the pressures of child stardom and grew up to be great actors.

1. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore starred in the 1982 film, E.T. During her early teens, her supposedly skyrocketing career took a plunge as she fell into drug and alcohol addiction. However, she came back with a bang with the Charlie's Angels re-make in 2000. Since then, she has been in blockbuster movies as well as producing movies.

2. Elijah Wood


At the age of 13, Elijah Wood has been a part of critically-acclaimed films like Forever Young and Paradise.  For a couple of years, Wood has kept low-profile but continued to prove that he still has the acting chops in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, playing as the Hobbit, Frodo Baggins.


3. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint

It's not too early to tell that the 3 actors who played the Harry Potter franchise's principal characters will become one of the biggest names in the entertainment world, especially with the large fanbase that they have.

Daniel Radcliffe, is reportedly the richest actor of his age in the U.K. according to People Magazine. He is currently the principal actor for the re-make of the Broadway show How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint also have movie roles lining up for them. The three actors have only recently been seen in the redcarpet premiere of the last Harry Potter movie, where thousands of fans camped out days before the premiere night.

4. Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning's most remarkable role was playing the daughter of Sean Penn in I Am Sam. Critically acclaimed for her acting skills, Dakota has made several films during her childhood. Today, she plays evil vampire Jane in the Twilight Saga.

Being a famous child actor doesn't guarantee you will become an A-List celebrity in the future. In order to stay in the show business, you have to work constantly and have to love your craft. And these former child actors, definitely beat the odds to becoming major adult movie stars.
