Here’s what adorable Liar, Liar child star looks like now

It’s been 25 years since adorable young Justin Cooper burst into showbiz in the iconic Jim Carrey comedy – and his life now is very different.

The little boy who starred opposite Jim Carrey in one of his biggest roles looks completely different now that he’s all grown up.

Justin Cooper starred in Liar, Liar as Max Reede, the boy who closed his eyes and wished that his father (Carrey) would never tell another lie.

The wish caused no end of grief for his lawyer dad who relied on bending the truth in everyday life.

Cooper played Jim Carrey’s son, Max.

He went on to land a string of film and TV roles.

Justin made his acting debut on beloved sitcom, Full House, and also had a stint on soap, General Hospital.

He starred in a number of films as a child star including The Magnificent Seven and Dennis 2: Dennis Strikes Again.

Justin, now 33, also had recurring roles in TV series Brother’s Keeper and All About Us.

His last acting role was on legal drama The Practice in 2003.

Cooper now works as an executive producer at FoxSports.

He quit show business years ago.

Justin has put show business behind him and couldn’t look more different from the sweet little boy who pricked the conscience of every slacker dad back in the day.

Gone is his floppy head of hair in favour of a sensible brown hairdo, glasses and beard.

The former actor is now a sports junkie and works as an executive producer on FoxSports.

Liar, Liar was released in 1997 and earned Jim Carrey a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a comedy.

It tells the story of an untrustworthy lawyer whose success is built entirely on lying.

But after his son Max’s wish, he finds himself cursed to speak only the truth for 24 hours.

His career hits the skids thanks to his new-found honesty, and further damages his relationship with his ex-wife and son – before an unsurprisingly heartwarming ending.

The film was a box office success and had one of the best opening weekends for a comedy at the time.

Liar, Liar was also named on the AFI list of top 100 American comedies of all time.
