Then and Now: What Happened to the ‘Bridge to Terabithia’ Actors 16 Years Later

A rare case – child actors have a fairly successful career.

Now we know Hutcherson as a successful Hollywood actor, and at the time of filming he was 15 years old. At the same time, the teenager already had enough cinematic experience – he dreamed of being an actor from the age of four, and at nine he realized his dream. But he will achieve real success playing in the Hunger Games franchise, which has been released since 2012. Josh is actively touring today.

John’s young partner was AnnaSophia Robb (and could have been Dakota Fanning, who was first offered the role). AnnaSophia made her acting debut in an episode of the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh in 2004. She was 14 when Bridge to Terabithia was filmed. After the actress starred in several other films, including Harvest (2007), Jumper (2008), Race to Witch Mountain (2009) and Soul Surfer (2011). Recently, the actress has played more in television projects. You can also see her in Ed Sheeran’s video for the song “Shivers”.

In the film, the actress played the main characters’ music teacher. She has been acting in films since the late 1990s, so by that time she had already accumulated several notable projects in her resume, for example, the films Almost Famous (2000) and The Hitchhiker’s Guide of the galaxy (2005). Perhaps the most famous in the filmography of the actress are the picture “500 Days of Summer” (2009), as well as the series “New Girl”, which made her very popular. Deschanel has also had a successful music career and recently launched his own podcast.

In the film, the actress played the role of the mother of the protagonist. And Kate’s debut was a small cameo in the 1992 film “Hero”. Today Butler can’t be said to be a star of the first magnitude, but she has a job. The actress is regularly filmed and even passes auditions in very successful projects – for example, she starred in one of the episodes of the sensational series “The Heirs”.
