1. Louise and Lisa Burns as the Grady twins in The Shining
After their debut as the iconically creepy 11-year-old twins, the Burns sisters initially hoped to pursue careers in acting but gave up after being turned down from children's roles because of their appearance in the horror genre. Now aged 47 and both residing in London, England, Lisa is a lawyer and Louise is a published scientist.
2. Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Sam in Love Actually
Since his breakout role as an endearing lovestruck drummer in Love Actually, Brodie-Sangster has remained super busy in the acting world. Currently, the 26-year-old's notable work ranges from Phineas and Ferb, Game of Thrones, and The Maze Runner.
3. Haley Joel Osment as Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense
Since playing the isolated boy who is able to see and talk to the dead, Osment has remained active in the acting game, with roles in movies like The Jungle Book 2 and Entourage. He also graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 2011.
4. Mara Wilson as Matilda in Matilda
After a few years of acting post-Matilda, Wilson retired from acting to focus on her writing career. Wilson graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 2009 and her play Sheeple debuted in 2013.

5. Hatty Jones as Madeline in Madeline
It's been 19 years since the plucky blonde orphan, played by Hatty Jones, won our hearts in the movie adaptation of the book Madeline. Madeline remains the only ever film Jones, who narrowly missed the part of Hermione in Harry Potter, has starred in. The now 28-year-old is a graduate of Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and has since released a web series on YouTube entitled Offstage.
6. Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone

He dated actor Mila Kunis from 2002 to 2010 and has occasionally resurfaced in movies since 2003, appearing in Party Monster and Sex and Breakfast.
