The child actor is a shadow of his former self. With the role of Chunk came a lot of predictable teasing and so Cohen took up high school football in a bid to shed the extra holiday weight.

A bit of trivia for you: after high school Cohen went on to University, before being elected President of the Associated Students.

During his campaign, he embraced his inner Goonie by making t-shirts with “Chunk for president” brandished above a picture of his former chubby self.

So it seems his starring role did come in handy after all.
