The film “ET” is probably a dear favorite of many. It tells the story of the alien ET stranded on Earth, who develops a strong bond with the little boy Elliot.
This is how it went with the gang from “Four weddings and a funeral”
The role of Elliot was played by ten-year-old Henry Thomas, who has since turned 52.
Many are therefore probably wondering where the main actor is today, 41 years later.

– Not a good way to grow up
In ET, Thomas both impressed and charmed the audience, and the little boy became a world celebrity overnight.
In retrospect, the actor has admitted that it was all too much for him, and he therefore took a step back.
They look like this today
– It was the second film I had ever acted in. I got the role through chance and luck. Suddenly my phone rang and everyone wanted me in their movies. It was a kind of roller coaster for a couple of years, Thomas has previously told in an interview with Esquire i 2012.

In addition to being an actor, Thomas is also the husband of Annalee Thomas and the father of children Hazel, Evelyn and Henry.
Opposite The Guardian years ago, Thomas said he would encourage his own children to wait until they are older to do acting.

– I still don’t think it’s a good way to grow up. It was exciting for me, I went to strange places and met interesting people. But it was also very destructive to my parents’ marriage. Our social life became strange.

A variety of roles
However, the acting career was not completely shelved, and Thomas has appeared in several films since 1982.
Among other things, he has starred in “Legends of the Fall”, “Gangs of New York”, “Ouija: Origin of Evil” and “The Shining” sequel “Doctor Sleep”.
