The reason why we mention Mike Teavee is because he, like most people who age, looks pretty different to what he looked like when he was a young lad.
Madness, we know.
This isn't your average we-Googled-this-child-actor-to-see-what-they-look-like-now revelation though, because the guy who played Mike was actually on a US game show recently.
Fair play to him.
The actor who played Mike is called Paris Themmen and he appeared on Jeopardy recently.

There he is there now.

Paris, who is 58 now, described himself as an “entrepreneur” and “avid backpacker” and, surprisingly, his childhood star based past wasn't mentioned at all.
This is decidedly unlike Paris because usually, he grasps every opportunity to allude to the fact that he was The Mike Teavee and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
And we don't really blame him either... we'd absolutely do the same.
Paris gave up acting a 14-year-old saying that he just wanted to "be a kid", however, he still attends the odd convention and signs autographs for fans of the iconic movie.
Bless him.
