Hollywood child star looks unrecognisable 28 years after hit movie role and quitting fame

A HOLLYWOOD child actor that shot to fame in the 1990s, now looks completely different since he quit acting 24 years ago.

Actor Justin Pierre Edmund shot to fame when he first appeared in 1996 film The Preacher's Wife.

In the film he played Jeremiah Biggs, which follows the storyline of an angel coming to Earth to help a preacher and his family whilst saving his church.

He starred alongside huge names including Courtney B. Vance, Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston, but even with working with huge names it appears acting wasn't right for Justin.

The actor quit Hollywood and the film industry just four years later after appearing in four more films.

As a child actor he appeared in 'Went to Coney Island On A Mission From God', 'Loving Jezebel', 'Music of the Heart' and 'Once In The Life'.

He also appeared in an episode of TV series Law and Order, where he played Andrew Howard in 2000.

Now he looks totally different to the cute child star we might have seen him as, and his career has gone in a different direction.

The star has now instead embraced a career in social media and marketing.

In 2011, he graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor's degree in communication design.

From there he went to intern at Facebook before switching to another social media platform as he joined Pinterest to become the company's first designer.

He's now believed to work at Slack.

The actor has largely stayed out of the spotlight since deciding not to pursue a career in acting.
