It's a common misconception that child actors experience the best times of their careers during their formative years, getting fewer and fewer roles as the years go by. And while this may be true for some child actors, the vast majority of them are not only still working hard, but making a lot of money doing it.

Here are 10 child actors who are still dominating the big screen in 2024:

We bet that after reading this list, you'll be sure that it's impossible to become an A-list talent without working as a child actor! All jokes aside, it's really quite surprising that most of the famous actors working in Hollywood today also acted as teenagers. And not just acting, but enjoying leading roles and being praised by fans and critics alike.

It's weird to think how different movies would be today if casting directors hadn't discovered the aforementioned actors when they were kids, isn't it?
