Jonathan Taylor Thomas, once adored as JTT, was at the peak of his Hollywood career when he chose to step away, leaving fans stunned and many young admirers heartbroken. The Home Improvement star,
who celebrated his 43rd birthday on September 8, last made headlines after a rare public sighting in 2023. Fans who grew up swooning over the teen heartthrob were surprised by how he’d changed over the years.
Starting his acting journey young, Thomas took on a role as Greg Brady’s son in The Bradys, a short-lived spinoff of The Brady Bunch. By the time he joined Home Improvement alongside Tim Allen, he was just 10 years old, yet he spent the next eight years growing up on screen, eventually becoming an international sensation.
Reflecting on the fame, Thomas once remarked to The New York Times, “You are a part of their life, and there is a lot that is owed them. But it’s difficult because you want to make everyone happy, but if you try to do that, you’re setting yourself up for failure.”
