Jonathan Lipnicki broke out with adorable roles in Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little. But what happened to the former child star after that?
With his glasses and spiky hair, Jonathan Lipnicki became a familiar face in Hollywood with the role of George Little in the Stuart Little franchise. Lipnicki had made his big screen debut at the age of 6 playing the cheerful twinkle-eyed child of a single mother in the sports-themed rom-com Jerry Maguire. Sharing screen space with Tom Cruise and his on-screen mother Renée Zellweger, Lipnicki was one of the standout stars from the 1996 film.
Lipnicki added that another reason behind his hiatus was that he was just not being offered any major roles at around the late-2000s. In his child with glasses persona in Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little, Lipnicki felt his acting was more natural due to many child actors having a “childlike wonder”. However, he believes that even some of the best child actors eventually come to reevaluate their acting skills as “filters come in, and you become nervous…or the world comes into play”.
In a Drop the Mic episode, Lipnicki indulged in a rap battle against Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel. Lipnicki started off strongly, joking about her past relationship with NSYNC member Lance Bass. But Fishel emerged as the winner with some personally hurtful jabs on Lipnicki’s time as the child star with glasses. “You got famous from one line, and, yeah, we enjoyed it. Now the only line you’re famous for is unemployment.
