Little Stars: the most talented child actors

Filming a child in a movie is incredibly difficult. On the one hand, a small actor is required to play exactly what, to portray a fictional image, and not at all what he might like. On the other hand, not to lose the childlike spontaneity, sincerity and charm. It's difficult to combine it. But children who succeed in such a task become the favorites of directors — right up to their adulthood.

Alas, but this is so: not every talented child in adulthood acquires the same fame. Take Shirley Temple, for example. This little actress gained worldwide fame, became the youngest star to receive an Oscar and was included in the list of the greatest movie stars. Unfortunately, when Tema grew up, the popularity of films with her participation declined sharply, and the last films completely failed. And although she found her place in life, participated in TV projects and even engaged in politics, she could not repeat the success of her childhood years.

However, nowadays many young actors, having successfully proven themselves, continue to follow the path of success, and age is not an obstacle to them. The film careers of Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and David Radcliffe (Harry Potter) are going great. There are other positive examples, so the current young stars have someone to look up to.

So, the most talented children are actors of our time:

Dani Keen is one of the most popular young stars of the “dream factory". She recently turned 17. There are only four projects in her filmography, but they are very successful. These are the films “Logan” and “Ana”, as well as the TV series “Dark Beginnings".

The horror “It” based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King showed the audience a whole galaxy of young actors, among whom the young Sophie Lillis stood out. But one of the most successful later became little Jackson Robert Scott, who played Georgie. Now he regularly appears in films. Basically, these are horror films — such as “Omen: Rebirth”, “Keys of Trays”, “Fear the Walking Dead".

Jacob Tremblay made his film debut at the age of six (he is now 15). His most notable roles are Jack in the movie “Room”, Cody in “Sony”, Bradley Trevor in “Doctor Sleep”, John Pullman in the movie “Miracle”, as well as a role in the TV series “Twilight Zone”. In total, Jacob has about three dozen roles in his filmography.

Ever Anderson, Milla Yovich's daughter, is 15 years old, and she started acting in films at nine. So far, she doesn't have many projects, but what! “Resident Evil”", “Peter Pan", where Ever played the main role — the girls Wendy. And also the Marvel universe action movie “Black Widow”: in it, Ever has the role of the main character as a child.

Charming Roman Griffin Davis was born in a family close to the world of cinema: his father is a cinematographer, and his mother is a screenwriter. At the age of 11, Roman got a role in the movie "Jojo Rabbit". His character literally won the hearts of the audience. The young actor was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and was also awarded the Critics' Choice Award. A year ago, he starred in the tragicomedy “Silent Night”, where his shooting partners were Kira Nighy and Lily-Rose Depp.

Among the domestic young stars, thirteen-year-old Marta Kessler (Timofeeva) stands out vividly. Surprisingly, she began acting at the age of a few months — in commercials. The first offer to shoot in a movie came when Martha was three years old. Since then, the girl has starred in fifty films and is among the top 5 child actors in Russia.

On the next position in this list is the actress Vitaliya Kornienko. She is only 12, but she has already been nominated twice for the Golden Eagle Award in the Best Actress category. The most famous films with her participation are “Ice—2”, “Quiet Don”, “Vampires of the Middle lane”, the TV series “Julbars".
