Jonathan Taylor Thomas said he’d be home for Christmas, and after a long hiatus from public life… he’s here to make good on his promise.
The elusive ex-child star — who disappeared from the big show a decade ago — turned up earlier this week in SoCal … where he was apparently running errands near his home. As many people have noted, the guy looks almost unrecognizable compared to his youth.

There’s nothing special in the photo itself… it’s just a man who has left Hollywood behind and is minding his business. But when you think about how big a star he once was, it’s dazzling.
Remember, the last time we saw JTT making the rounds and signing autographs was a long time ago in 2013, and at the time…he was very much doing the A-lister thing, embracing cameras, questions, and fans. However, now it is very clear: he wants none of that.
It was around the same time he opened up People May about why he decided to step away… saying he had been working since he was a young child and wanted a break. He also said that he didn’t want fame to define him, and that he just didn’t care much about it.
The last time Jon was in public was during COVID – when he was spotted walking his dog and lying low. Now, two years later, we see him again… without a dog.
I hope he’s having a good time in whatever he’s up to these days. And since it’s that time of year… no better time than to take a look at his classic holiday movie, not to mention all his other ’90s treasures. ‘Lion King’, ‘Home Improvement’…true legend indeed.
