Actor Jeff Cohen left the glitz and glamour of Hollywood behind and now looks unrecognisable from his character of Chunk in The Goonies.
The 48-year-old looks completely different with a thinner physique decades after the movie shot him to fame as a child star.
The star is far from his Truffle Shuffle days and now is a bit of a hunk, however the star has admitted that the body transformation did come at a cost.

The star of the Steven Spielberg story said: “There were basically about four fat kids in town, so every time there was a fat kid role you saw the same people at the audition.
“It was survival of the fattest. But when I hit puberty, it was a career-ender for me. I was transforming from Chunk to hunk and I couldn’t get roles anymore.”
Jeff was 11 when he appeared in the iconic movie and reportedly was terrified her would lose his job when he came down with chicken pox.

The movie sees Chunk and his friends head through underground tunnels and sewers to find the treasure of One-Eyed Willy.
Chunk is kidnapped by antagonists The Fratellis but somehow manages to escape with the help of the deformed Superman Sloth.
Jeff used introductions from Goonies director Richard Donner to get summer jobs on the business side of movie studios.

He told the ABA Journal story at the time: “I grew up loving The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers, but suddenly I had a new crop of heroes.”
He chose to pursue a legal career upon finding out that many of the most important figures on the business side of Hollywood had law degrees.
Reportedly he is now an Entertainment Lawyer in Los Angeles, meaning he’s still in showbiz but not behind the camera.
