Disney teen heartthrob unrecognisable 17 years after co-starring with Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Zac Efron
A FORMER Disney heartthrob looks unrecognisable 17 years after he found teen fame on the channel.
This actor is known for appearing alongside the likes of Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Zac Efron.
You may remember him from Sonny With A Chance, 17 Again, Hannah Montana or even his own Disney movie, Starstruck.
It’s Sterling Knight!
The actor, now 37, looks a far cry from his days on Disney Channel now.
Sterling now sports a full beard and longer mousy brunette hair – as opposed to the choppy blonde locks he was known for.
He is still acting and appeared in new movie 40 Dates and 40 Nights just this year.
Sterling is also on video platform Cameo, where fans can pay for a personalised video shoutout from him.
The star has just shy of 250,000 followers on Instagram and regularly shares updates with his fans.
He appears to not follow former co-stars such as Demi, Selena or Miley – suggesting their on-screen chemistry hasn’t lasted since their Disney days together.
Sterling’s Sonny With A Chance character famously had a relationship with Demi’s on-screen character, with the relationship becoming a focal point of the show.
The pair were known to be close friends off screen, too.
Child star Sterling, who hails from Texas, began acting aged 10 and had his breakout role in 17 Again – where he played the teenage son of Mike and Scarlet O’Donnell (played by Matthew Perry/Zac Efron and Leslie Mann).
