Bruce Bogtrotter From Matilda Is Looking Very Different These Days
Time. It does this hilarious thing where it passes. Side splitting, right? One second that human on TV is a kid, and the next thing you know twenty years have passed and they’re now a hunky 32-year-old doctor.
Yeah, seriously.
We all remember the kid from the iconic cake-eating scene in 1996 hit Matilda, but we probably wouldn’t recognise him if we passed him in the street. Or, sat in his office as his patient.
Is your memory feeling refreshed? Good, because this is what the actor Jimmy Karz looks like now.
