ALL GROWN UP

Remember Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle? This is what actor Erik Per Sullivan, 25, looks like now

HE was the smart, musically-talented youngster who was often the victim of his brothers’ pranks.

Dewey was most adorable member of the dysfunctional Malcolm in the Middle clan, whose hilarious antics pulled in more than 15 million TV viewers a week during the early Noughties.

Since the show wrapped in 2006, Bryan Cranston, who played dad Hal, went on to star in the critically-acclaimed Breaking Bad as a teacher-turned-drug-dealer.

While Frankie Muniz, who portrayed title character Malcolm, appeared in Spy Kids.

But Erik Per Sullivan, who played the blonde haired pre-teen, has remained relatively out of the spotlight.

He was eight years old when the show first aired and 14 when it finished.

Erik, from Massachusetts, is now 25 and looks unrecognisable.

Photographs on an Instagram account run by his manager show him posing in trendy sunglasses, a white shirt and holding a Louis Vuitton luggage bag.

Another sees him in a red checked shirt while joking around with a pal, while one snap shows him soaking up the sun near a swimming pool.

Erik has starred in the title role in the independent film Mo in 2007, and played the role of Timmy opposite Zoe Kravitz and Chace Crawford in the film Twelve in 2010.

He also voiced Sheldon, the cute sea horse, in Finding Nemo in 2003.

But Erik isn’t the only child actor who is now all grown up.

Remember CBBC’s Cavegirl?

Actress Stacey Cadman is now  an accomplished dancer, a qualified personal trainer and a kickboxing instructor.

Meanwhile, Billy Campbell, who played the octopus boy in Love Actually, is now a hunky student.
