I watched a clip of that scene today, and I thought, "man when that kid grows up he's gonna be a hottie" - been forever since I'd seen it and forgot that it's Devon lol. It's this video that slapped me in the head that it was he who played real boy Casper. I was right though. Still a hottie to this day.

It’s funny that he did those roles to escape the heartthrob thing, because Idle Hands and Final Destination just made me like him more! Glad he keeps coming back in Chucky 😊
Wild America doesnt get tha recognition it deserves
Idol hands is a great movie with him. Totally underrated.

Final Destination and his performance as Stan were my personal favorites.

Casper, Now and Then, Idle Hands, SLC Punk have forever been my top favs. I watch Idle Hands with my husband every October. It was such a treat to meet him over facetime. It was like he was calling an old friend and that old friend was me 😊❤ it was so cool!
him saying that he hated being a heartthrob reminds me of Jonathan Brandis 😢💔 he wanted to break out of that too… obviously he went another way RIP

My favorite! In the 90’s my mom use to scream Devon Sawa to me every time I walked into a room and I would turn red. Love him
He saved my life from going on planes. Thank you Mr. Devon Sawa.👍🏽
My first celebrity crush was Macaulay Culkin. Then the French kid singer, Jordy. Then I was mesmerized by Devon Sawa in Casper. Ultimately, I feel for Pocahontas' John Smith. I definitely have a pattern!
OMG!!! I was soooo in love with Devon as a young girl. I had all the bop posters on my walls and rewatched all of his movies on VHS over and over. I'm glad to see him doing well and still handsome all grown up. 👌🏻 TakeXare

Devon is severely underrated! He's been incredible in every movie I've seen him in. Idle Hands is one of my favorites bc he fully committed and made it a legit movie. The way he was able to move his hand and his body followed was awesome! He's made every role genuine and believable
He became such a hot daddy… my god. - I knew he had potential in the 90’s but I didn’t think he’d turn out so handsome.
Love him! Idle Hands is one of my favorite movies.
I’m glad that he’s still out there doing it! He always had this likability about him.

The 90s kids Hollywood stars and the fandom without Social were just another level that time! They paved the way to a better landscape of movie and TV making today.
I was sooo in love with Devon when he was younger 😂 he looks very different now, but I can still go back to his old movies. Casper was my favourite ❤
This guy deserves more credit, almost feel like like he’s the Feldman of the 90’s. Didn’t do as many movies but the ones he did stuck with people. Casper and little giants to this day are some of my favorites. Final destination brought something new to horror at that time. Idle Hands is a damn classic good ball horror that never gets old for me. Just all around love this dude.
All of us loved him as teens, he was most every girls celebrity crush
He is always one of my favourites childhood actors. I am still watching him on Chucky. He is amazing. I am glad that he turned out find the way he is.
