Where are Narnia kids now? Quitting acting, flesh eating disease and struck by lightning

The Chronicles of Narnia children are all grown up.

The fantasy film series, based on the novels of the same name by C.S. Lewis, starred four young children who stumble into a magical world through a mysterious wardrobe. After falling through the back and discovering a land filled with snow, talking animals and an evil witch, the kids join forces and return Narnia back to it’s former glory.

Skandar Keynes, Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley and William Moseley played the Penvensie children in 2005’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, 2008’s Prince Caspian and 2010’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
