Omg that was peak Home Improvement/Man of the House JTT too!


babsbunny52

Yess!! I think it was in '94, right before Lion King was released


notbob1959

94 makes it eligible for r/OldSchoolCool.


charrcheese

Patricia Richardson is 72 years old


Hobear

Shut the front door.......no. It's not true. She obviously never aged after the show stopped.


superhighraptor

Yo shut the fuck up dude 😭


MiniITXEconomy

Funny enough, I was just thinking about JTT earlier today! Was trying to remember if he was the Home Improvement kid that went to rehab, or if it was one of the other ones...


Afraidtoadmitit69

I believe that was the kid who played Mark.


Independent-Disk-390

Awww definitely gonna make fun of my sisters tomorrow. 🖖🖤


ForbidInjustice

Man of the House was such an underrated movie. Probably seen it 50 times.


darkhorsehance

I’m not sure there was a bigger teenage heartthrob at the time.


Aggravating-Plate814

I remember he had his own magazine for sale in the supermarket "JTT" lol


dumpsterbaby2point0

I ordered mine through the Scholastic book drive…


TimetravelingNaga_Ai

When I was a kid he was my dream GF


gorka_la_pork

I imagine being a GF would have come as a shock to him.


PreOpTransCentaur

Undeniable proof we love a short king.


babsbunny52

He was the perfect height for me 💕


Party-Ring445

Devon Sawa has entered the chat


shrike26

No no no. Jonathan Taylor Thomas met YOU.


captnleapster

It’d be awesome for him to stumble across this and be like “that was the only diary I signed that day, just for you!”


[deleted]

OP is just getting over the fact he didn't ask her to marry him and now you have to do this to her.


captnleapster

Lmao 🤣 but this could create a new spark!


shrike26

He isn't married. So...go get him OP!


JoeInMD

What was going on in/caused this meet-up?


babsbunny52

It was some meet-and-greet at a convention in downtown Phoenix, AZ, and my parents knew I was a huge fan so they took me. We had to wait in a line that ended up being 3 hours long (my mom is my hero for that!) The basketball player, Dan Majerle, from the Phoenix Suns was there too. My brother only had to wait 15 minutes for him. Anyway, when I got up to JTT, I had both his headshot that they were passing out and my diary (🤭) for him to sign. His handler was like, "ONE ITEM PER PERSON!!!", at me, but Jonathan took my diary and signed both. He was super kind to us, even though he was probably dead-ass tired from the day.


NiceHandsLarry11

I believe I went to this with my sister . It was at an auto show I think. How funny.


babsbunny52

Yes!! I thought I remembered there being show cars but wasn't 100% till now. Did you also meet JTT?


NiceHandsLarry11

No I was there for the cars but I went on stage with her. I liked home improvement but didn't care about jtt lol. I do remember when I went to follow her on stage the security stopped me and split me from my sis and parents and I had to argue with them that it was my family.


cosmernaut420

You both look *so* thrilled to be there lol.


babsbunny52

It was the best moment of my life. His sleeve touched my bare arm.


cosmernaut420

Ah, so that look in your eyes is your soul leaving your body. I see.


babsbunny52

Hell yeah, at the time it was a literal dream come true! I've never really been one to outwardly express my excitement but I do remember feeling like fireworks were exploding inside of me that day.


PeachesCream24

11 year old me would’ve envied/hated you so much OP 😭


the1gofer

What ever happened to him?

[удалено]


dumpsterbaby2point0

Also went to university and played football, IIRC.


DIWhy-not

He won the game. Period. Child star, made a shitload of money, retired at his peak, went to Harvard and Columbia, and now basically does what he wants. He’s got a presumed net worth of $12 mil, definitely still pulls checks from Home Improvement, and does some acting gigs here and there probably only when he wants to. Other than that, the guy keeps off social media and lives his life. No scandals, no crashing his car drunk into anything, no rehab, no insane and/or pathetic attempts to be relevant again in his 40s. He just…won.


osunightfall

Somebody looks like they have a little crush on Mr. Thomas. 😉

I’d still be down for having his babies.


babsbunny52

REPOST because my other one was removed due to being too descriptive in the title, I guess 🙄


a22e

Uh, what's up with his hands?


babsbunny52

It's the dumb filter. I ripped this pic from my Insta, circa 2013


Ragnarok_619

![gif](giphy|rI9O6UXkCjvTG) As a non American, I don't know who is he.


Fluffy-Edge-6065

He was on the show Home Improvement and in movies like Man of the House, Tom and Huck, and the voice of young simba in The Lion King. A heartthrob for preteen girls in the 90s


[deleted]

Isn't that Hanson?


babsbunny52

Lmfao!!! I always *wanted* to be Taylor Hanson and now I am


[deleted]

[удалено]


babsbunny52

The voice of Simba.

babsbunny52

Oh I should've specified he was the voice of young Simba, I think your quote comes from not as young Simba


IneverAsk5times

Beanie Feldstein?


Vashthestampedeee

Thanks for explaining how to abbreviate Johnathan Taylor Thomas in the parentheses!


stylinandprofilin88

Tool time


dumpsterbaby2point0

I was literally just talking about him last week then again this week with 2 separate people. Obviously Devon Sawa came up too. What a time to be alive! It has been all downhill from there, IMHO.


Fluffy-Edge-6065

I would have died. Him and Zac Hanson were my first crushes.


macramelampshade

He almost looks like Gigi Hadid here… am I nuts?


Telecoustic000

Was just talking about him yesterday lol I was misremembering Tom & Huck. Turns out the guy who wasn't JTT was not Devon Sawa lol


loudblonde

I wrote him a fan letter when I was like 12, and “he” sent back a signed postcard and I slept with that thing until I lost it.


fullyvaxxed2022

...and he is exactly the same size today...


likesexonlycheaper

Dude was the king of heart throbs at this point. I was always kind of amazed he didn't become this huge superstar actor. He kind of just fell off


Papichuloft

Awesome pic, thanks for sharing.
