what happened to JTT!?
long before zac efron and robert pattinson, there was jonathan taylor thomas aka JTT. he was the dreamy middle child on home improvement, tom sawyer, the voice of young simba. he was on the cover of teen beat and on the walls of young girl's and probably some boy's bedrooms across the country. (but not on mine, pamela wouldn't let me)
few people know about my torrid love affair with for JTT. circa 1995-1996, i was in love with JTT. it was beyond a crush, i cried when my friends mike and josh stole and drew devil horns and a mustache on a pocket size picture of the cast of home improvement that i used to carry with me. i cried when i heard the rumor that he was dating topanga. i even tried to convince my mom we should move to miami when my aunts teased me that he moved down there. it may have been one-sided, but it was totally love. however, it all ended when i discovered that he wasn't the singing voice of young simba in the lion king. i felt cheated, i felt betrayed.
so, fast forward to 2010 and there i was, thinking about what happened to my tween love. i began searching on google and imdb. all of a sudden, it's 1:30 am, i'm drinking a low budget hot toddy (hot lemonade & scotch), desperately trying to piece together where JTT is. sadly, after suspicious looking articles and posts dated 2007, i gave up. i determined this is a case for professionals, specifically veronica mars, which was one of his last imdb credits.
i did stumble upon these rumors:
-he graduated from columbia with a ba in 2009
-he lives in canada with his girlfriend
-he is trying for a comeback
-he is gay
the only thing that can be confirmed is that he is still under 5'6' and will always be the first love of my life.
erini this is magic. much as i LOVE vmars (and you do too!), he deserves better than having that be his last imdb credit.
ReplyDeletethen again if he is too busy going to columbia/having a girlfriend/no girlfriend because he is actually gay, then... maybe he is too busy to be a star???
hood love,
