Some of the child actors from 2003 movie School of Rock were there to watch co-star Jack Black host Saturday Night Live, and they look very different these days
Jack Black’s School of Rock co-stars are all grown up and look completely different to the way they did in the hit movie.
The Hollywood actor was reunited with some of the former child stars of the 2003 film during his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. The actor, 55, guest hosted the US sketch show, and a few of his School of Rock co-stars were in the audience cheering him on.
In the film, Jack played struggling rocker Dewey Finn, who poses as a teacher to get a job at Horace Green Prep School. He then decides to transform some of the pupils into little rock stars so that he can enter them into a Battle of the Bands competition.
Fast forward 22 years, and the cast members are completely unrecognisable as the young musicians who stormed the stage alongside Dewey. Most of the children in the movie were around ten or 11 at the time, so they are now all in their 30s. But they are known to have stayed close since sharing the screen.
And the fact they have changed didn’t stop some eagle-eyed viewers from picking them out in the crowd as they watched Jack on the show at the weekend. They spotted Brian Falduto (who was Billy), Rivkah Reyes (who played Katie), and Z Infante (who starred as Gordon) in the audience.
