Self Made with Dee Brown CEO - S01EP2 | Emmanuel Lewis

Emmanuel Lewis, child star of the 80s sitcom Webster, sits down with Dee Brown to talk about his early childhood in the Brooklyn projects, being “discovered” and his career in advertising, TV, movies and music. With the confidence and humor of a show business veteran, Emmanuel recounts the challenges, sacrifices and satisfaction of super-stardom.

[@isaacgutierrez139]

That's wild, man. Emmanuel keeps referring to his career movement with "us". He must really respect his team.

I'm happy to see he's doing great

[@lilythebassetpuppy]

I'm watching Webster right now, my childhood memories, as I was born in 1975, and I just googled him to see where he was now, and was happy to see this video pop up. Thank you ❤

[@bobabooey4537]

Hey! Its Webster Padapopularius, great show from my childhood.

[@littlejoe9381]

I’m glad to see him doing well. He seems to be thriving. He has had some very interesting life experiences. He’s had he opportunity to meet many celebrities and do many things. It seems that he has also survived being a “child star” , which is amazing achievement in itself.

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Very intelligent speaking and seems like a very nice guy. I'm happy for him. I can listen to him talk for hours.

Mr. Lewis's laugh is so pure, you realize this is some old dude enough to be somebody's grandpa. Mad RESPECT for turning down offers to play urban gang member, Lord knows it was hard turning them down those days. Pure love.

[@prodesign8189]

So glad to see he's doing well. I am the same age as him and we both liked the same 80s shows he named off on his Johnny Carson apearance and I was like "wow we grew up in great times...love boat, fantasy island..." lol, I would stay up late against my parents will and watch the same stuff. What a nice dude. I hope all stays blessed for him and his.

[@danamoore196]

It was interesting to hear about his experiences as a child star and about attending an HBCU. He gave a perfect description of the HBCU experience. Family vibes throughout! He made sure that his brother and sister were able to go to college too.

[@lustforkicks7392]

I remember seeing Emmanuel Lewis in Webster when I was in my childhood, and I would have believed he was actually just a little five year old boy like he was when the series began. On March 9 1997, just two weeks before my eighteenth birthday, I read in a local Missoula Montana newspaper called "The Missoulian" that Emmanuel Lewis was 26 years old. I couldn't believe it! It was a major puzzlement to me how that little boy I remembered as "Webster" could actually have been that old! I discovered more recently that he was born with a form of dwarfism called "Achondroplasia". That's why he was unusually tiny and looked like he could have passed for a five year old. I guess now he's 4'3" in height and obviously he is extremely portly. He still has a very youthful appearance on his face though! I am glad he's doing well at the age of 52. ~Dutch

[@shellywhelan1988]

He doesn’t have achondroplasia. He has no known syndrome. He’s 100% healthy. Just short.

[@lustforkicks7392]

@@shellywhelan1988 Oh. Okay, it's just that I read somewhere online that he does have achondroplasia. It's odd that he is naturally short and youthful looking. ~Dutch

He the one that was hanging around Michael Jackson?

One aspect of the many hundreds of aspects of this man. He's a legend in his own right beyond Michael.

[@JeffCD77]

Emmanuel Lewis has no medical condition whatsoever. He was simply small for his age. People need to stop spreading ridiculous claims.

[@kaceen1]

Wow I always thought he did. And if he did he probably would not have lived that life g. But I think it’s something maybe not so serious because his voice is still premature and he is in his early 50s
