Some childhood stars continue their success in Hollywood, but others entirely leave the spotlight.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the '90s heartthrob and one of the stars of the hit sitcom "Home Improvement," was seen in public for the first time in several years, People reported.
The 39-year-old former child star was photographed in Los Angeles while walking his dogs. Thomas kept it comfy in the photos, out in a New York Mets cap, gray zip-up sweater and jeans.
In recent years, Thomas has maintained a low profile and stayed out of the spotlight.
