Who knew we’d be talking about Stuart Little so much 21 years later?
We all know that Stuart Little is an iconic movie and for various reasons. The children’s movie gave us an Oscar-worthy acting performance from Hugh Laurie, a cleverly thought out screenplay by M. Night Shyamalan and most importantly, captivating voiceover work from Michael J. Fox.
Speaking of Netflix flicks, we spoke about all of the secret features on the streaming service on this episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…
But surprisingly, even more than the film itself, Stuart Little has re-entered cultural discourse as being a film that we should be talking about. Previously, we spoke about how lurking in the background of Stuart Little was a painting worth over $350,000. But now, it looks like Jonathan Lipnicki, the actor who played George Little, is giving us another reason to remember the movie.
To refresh your memory, Jonathan Lipnicki was inescapable in the late ’90s and early ‘00s. His child-acting skills were thoroughly shown off in Jerry Maguire, Dr. Dolittle and Like Mike (just to name a few). And while Jonathan Lipnicki retreated from the public eye in his teenage years, he’s come out of that looking fine as ever.
Yes, while we were sleeping on him, Jonathan Lipnicki went from being a child actor to being an absolute thirst trap on Instagram. Let’s deep dive into his Instagram account, shall we?
Kicking things off, we have the incredible shirtless hiking picture. As much as we love the yellow-shorts and backpack combo, Jonathan Lipnicki’s abs in this picture really detract from the fashion choices he made. We have no choice but to stan.
Secondly, we have to reflect on these actor headshots. Just look at Jonathan Lipnicki’s eyes starring down the barrel of the camera and into your soul. Stuart Little isn’t so little anymore, he’s seen some things.
Lastly, we have to talk about the abundant photos he has with his dog. Now, we understand that taking photos with your adorable puppy is thirst-trap 101, but do we care? Um, no, no we don’t. In fact, his dog is so cute, Jonathan Lipnicki has made an Instagram account just for them. Aww.
