Cinema’s Most Famous Babies: Where Are They Now?

Folks, it’s time to shift our attention to a special breed of actors: the ones who can’t remember performing in their respective films. They come into our lives as little ones, leave our lives as little ones, and often go on to lead perfectly normal non-child star lives — y’know, just with some excellent conversational perks, like, “I’ve been kidnapped by David Bowie,” and “Bill Murray protected me from demons.” Have you ever wondered what these former tiny movie stars look like as grownups? We certainly have. So, after the jump, we track down the current photos of 11 famous movie babies from the likes of Labyrinth, Popeye, The Godfather, and more (but not from Three Men and a Baby, because our Internet detective skills have failed us in that search). Check ‘em out, and hit the comments to let us know what you think.

Toby Froud: Toby from Labyrinth (1986)

In the mid-’80s, the skilled costume designer for Labyrinth, Brian Froud, had a baby son, Toby. The film needed a baby actor, and the rest is history. Toby followed in his father’s footsteps and currently designs puppets — he’s even worked at the Muppet workshop in New York. All horns aside, Toby Froud seems like the type of person who fully appreciates the awesome fact that he, as a child, was the one who reminded David Bowie of “the babe,” and we appreciate that.

The man who you say is Wesley Ivan Hurt isn't the same guy. The video source in question is a joke video with an actor depicting Hurt.

The man this site depicts as Wesley Ivan Hurt is NOT him and you should take it down from your site. I just finished watching Popeye, the 1980's movie on cable and out of curiosity, looked him up online to see what he looks like now. First of all, the baby on the movie has BEAUTIFUL blue eyes and red-ish/blond hair. The dude that is pictured on your site has brown eyes and greasy brown hair. His face isn't even shaped the same as Mr. Hurt's....(verify your "facts")

Really i wish to see the babies day out baby now i saw them

That is really NOT Wesley Hurt. if you flavorwire guys see the video untill the end, you'll see that the man is called gordon and has a webshow.

Good to hear that isn't really Swee'Pea! He was the cutest baby ever and if he turned out to be... that, I would be greatly depressed. Thank you. Regarding "Raising Arizona," forget the baby. I wanna pinch Nick Cage's cheeks (back then, that is). So. Hot.

That is NOT Wesley Hurt. I knew him in grad school a few years ago, where we were both studying for our Masters in Teaching. He doesn't look or act anything like that(he very much looks like the adult version of the baby you see), and he doesn't publicize the connection. He's a nice, quiet man who lives in a mid-sized city, and who, as far as I know, still teaches high school math. It just happened that his grandfather was Robert Altman, and they needed a baby for the movie.

Elora Danan wow! she was the cutest baby ever
