90s Movie Stars: Then And Now
![Christina Ricci: A genuinely huge star in the nineties, as both a child and an adult, Christina Ricci had everything going for her: indie credibility, bankability and unique and interesting good looks. It’s a crime, then, that after her breakout role in 'The Addams Family’ and Ang Lee’s 'The Ice Storm’, no director managed to make her a star post Y2K. She gained plaudits in 'Monster’ (but was overshadowed by Charlize Theron) and her highly sexualised role in 'Black Snake Moan’ was an eye-opener, but gradually her movies went straight to DVD and nobody really noticed: a voiceover role in 'The Smurfs 2’ in 2013 was the last time she bothered a cinema screen. Ricci claims she’s “too short” to be taken seriously: “[I tend] to look really small on camera,” she said, accurately.

Jonathan Lipnicki: He stole hearts as the little kid opposite Tom Cruise in ‘Jerry Maguire’ and he upped the adorbz factor with turns in two 'Stuart Little’ movies, but child star Jonathan Lipnicki fell foul of the one fate that befalls all Hollywood younglings: he grew up. Now the very un-adorbz age of 24, Lipnicki took a hiatus from making movies during those awkward pubic years but returned in 2011 as a young adult, complete with sculpted abs to give the mums who cooed over his childhood performances some very odd feelings indeed. His last notable appearance was in 2014’s 'Bad Asses’ alongside Dannys Trejo and Glover. And if you’re wondering, that chiselled bod is the product of Mixed Martial Arts fight training, an arena in which he hasn’t ruled out one day entering professionally. He is not, to our knowledge, still in contact with Tom Cruise, but you can follow him on Twitter @JLIPNICKI. (Image Credit: PA/YouTube)
