From fame to working a 9-to-5: The struggles of being a D-listed celebrity

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Who hasn’t seen The Lion King? This famous movie is well-known amongst pretty much everyone. But did you know who voiced young Simba? It’s Jonathan Taylor Thomas. In addition to voicing young Simba in Disney’s 1994 film The Lion King, he also portrayed Randy Taylor on Home Improvement and voiced Pinocchio in The Adventures of Pinocchio in 1996. One might think he was a rising star, but Jonathan thought otherwise. He chose to live a private life away from the spotlight. 

So that’s what he did, living a normal life just like everyone else. But, if you look at what he’s achieved, it’s not exactly normal. He graduated with honors from Chaminade College Preparatory School, later studied philosophy at Harvard and graduated from Columbia University’s School of General Studies in 2010. So not only does he have great acting skills, he also has a good set of brains. The world is unfair
