It's my 5 most annoying child stars!
1. Jake Lloyd - little Jake as a whiny Annakin Skywalker, alongside the evil that is Jar Jar Binks, reminded us that not everything George Lucas touches turns to gold. There's a good article about it here: https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/1915732.stm
2. Jonathan Lipnicki - he was the sickly sweet speccy kid in Jerry Maguire; the sickly sweet speccy kid in Stuart Little; and the sickly sweet speccy kid in The Little Vampire. I hated him.
3. Dakota Fanning - the archetypal child star. A good actress, yes - but was waaaaay to confident for her years. Check out War Of The Worlds and The Cat In The Hat.
4. Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen - not the most annoying actors in the world, just annoyingly successful. Running a production company aged 9, anyone?
5. Jonathan Ke-Quan - he was an 80s icon as Short Round in The Temple Of Doom and Data in The Goonies. But in the cold light of adulthood, he was really quite irritating.
