Diff'rent Strokes star Todd Bridges on marrying Janet Jackson, Fighting Vanilla Ice and more..

[@cooper482011]

Todd Bridges is one cool brother. I’m so glad he’s enjoying life again.

[@DarkSkies72]

I loved Different Strokes. It’s so sad that Dana and Gary have both passed on. R.I.P 🙏🏼 to them both. I read Todd’s book and I’m very happy he overcame everything his childhood threw at him, it was a lot. Stay well, Todd.

[@henewcom50]

The whole cast has passed away except for Todd Bridges.

Different strokes was a great show. Todd and Gary made my life more fun watching them.

[@meandemjay]

I am so glad Todd is doing well. Good for you, Todd, and many blessings to you and your family

[@deancoronado4898]

I went down an 80's rabbit hole earlier in the week, and got through 3 seasons of Diff'rent strokes. I'm actually thankful Todd Bridges is not only still around, but doing fine. He and Gary Coleman took that decade on their shoulders, so it would be memorable for the rest of us. Todd Bridges got jokes too. 😆

Absolutely love Todd. I've got the names of all my heroes on my arm- HG Wells, Sigfried Sassoon, Stan Laurel, Norvel Hardy, Arnold Ridley, Morrissey, Tony Benn, Percy Toplis and Todd. The second I finished reading 'Killing Willis' I went and got the tattoo. Love the guy!!

Him and Janet were in love. Joe Jackson was the real reason they broke up. Everybody know they were in a relationship

[@bigwillietheb]

Joe Jackson I've always heard was a real asshole

[@lastdays3148]

Yes I also believe that Joe Jackson may have had a part in their breaking up. Also Mr.Bridges he was a wild Teenager and into the party drug scene in Hollywood. We would never know the whole truth of their relationship but they were definitely in love with one another.

[@niwmi3274]

Joe, as any father, wouldn't want their daughter around all the drugs. He kept his own sons occupied so that they wouldn't get into drugs, so why would he want his young kids getting involved with that. Of course she ended up marrying someone that was involved with drugs, but that, too, she got out of, bc of that.

Todd Bridges has had his moments, his setbacks etc. However, it's almost hard to believe he's the only surviving member of the Different Strokes cast.

Janet Jackson is alive and kicking..

[@stevenmacphail1136]

What about the young boy who played the son of the woman Philip Drummond married toward the end of the series?

[@jamesmuller1481]

Why does everyone say he is the "only surviving member of the different strokes cast." That's bullshit. Danny Cooksey is alive and well. I hate how everyone treats him like the bastard stepchild that doesn't exist. He was in the last 3 seasons and on the cover of the dvd's alongside Willis and Arnold, WTF!?

[@jamesmuller1481]

@Kani Fuker I consider Danny Cooksey & Mary Jo Catlett original members because there was never a remake. They are original members of the show. They just came in later seasons. I grew up on the show and they were on it. I don't care what anyone says.

Please Janet wasn't innocent Janet always did what she wanted to do. She got married at 17.... Janet + Michael didn't like being discipline or being corrected... Joe had the right to discipline + correct his children..... The people on here who never had their father around wouldn't know about having a real father around...

Lots of people whose parents don't 'discipline' them are successful like, I don't know, Michael and Janet Jackson.
