My favorite child actress from the 2000s is liliana mumy she's my childhood hero

[@lindamagagula7476]

Mika Abdalla, Isabela Merced, Hailee Steinfeld, Mary Mouser, Madison Pettis, Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens.

I'm delighted that Lindsay is making a comeback in style, and that she recently got married. Kudos to her for staying strong

[@chasehedges6775]

Glad she’s doing awesome in recent years

Nothing wrong with getting your $hit together. As long as you are breathing, recovery is possible.

[@OmgRae979]

Happy for her! Didn’t know that.

[@alexandershawn440]

they didn't mention daniel radcliffe

[@chasehedges6775]

The 2000s were a wonderful time(along with the 80s and 90s, for the kids who grew up in those eras). Sad they’re over now.

[@trinaq]

Agreed, we didn't realise how lucky we were until they were gone.

I am so delighted that Lindsay is making a Comeback in style. She is recently married. She lives in Dubai far away from Hollywood. I'm rooting her. Kudos are staying strong. I am wishing her all the best.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I'm relieved that Hayden has gotten herself together and is now sober can't wait to watch scream 6

[@gmanandhislady]

That clip that you showed of young Hayden was actually in the soap, Guiding Light, when she played the role of Lizzie. Fun fact: Hayden played with the actress Emme Rylan in the Bring It All: All or Nothing movie. Emme would play the older Lizzie later on, on Guiding Light! I grew up watching Guiding Light and loved Hayden as Lizzie, and I also loved her on Nashville!

[@davinmcdonald3989]

I’m happy that things are good for Lindsay Lohan.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Glad kristen Stewart is doing great in her career and in her life 🙂

Josh hutcherson should’ve gotten an honorable mention, at least.

[@GTAnativeInXboxAndPlayStation]

I remember on the tonight show that Lindsay Lohan got married. Good for her. Hopefully she stays this happy and keeps her stuff together.

[@Lana2k6]

One actor I've noticed who never seems to get included on lists like these is an actor who's been around for years but is still not as well-known as others on this list: Tyler Hoechlin. He traveled the Road to Perdition as a teenager alongside Tom Hanks, settled in with the Camden Family on 7th Heaven for its final four seasons, dealt with supernatural forces in Beacon Hills (and within himself) on Teen Wolf, and these days, his career is flying high (while staying surprisingly grounded) as one of the stars of Superman & Lois.

[@juanitamorgan5475]

Haven't watched Kristen's new movie Spencer yet but I've seen clips of it and she's amazing well done

[@samuraibeastwarrior2886]

How The Hell Miranda Cosgrove and Alyson Stoner not on here they were child stars in the 2000s

[@marlonclark1896]

clearly this list needs a part 2

I Remember Haydon In Guiding Light

[@reginasuangco8563]

Mean Girls was my favorite movie! Amen.

[@melindakinnaird]

That was a clip from Guiding Light. Hayden Panitierre played Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light.

[@ajpat9620]

Honestly, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Saoirse Ronan should be on this list.

[@TheAmarok87]

Right, especially since Saoirse Ronan, along with Abigail Breslin, still is one of the youngest Oscar nominees.

[@chasehedges6775]

He also voiced Koda in Disneys Brother Bear(2003).

[@kathiheckenlively3974]

Hayden Paniterre's soap opera clip is from Guiding Light, not Another World.

[@trinaq]

I'm happy that Kristen Stewart is showing just how talented of an actress she is away from "The Twilight Saga." She's now an Oscar Nominated Actress, which just goes to show the mediocre material she had to work with earlier on in her career.

[@chasehedges6775]

She and Robert Pattison deserved better after those films

[@marlonclark1896]

@@chasehedges6775 yep

[@samuraibeastwarrior2886]

it a crime Miranda Cosgrove is not on the list

My favourite Frankie Muniz performance is in the Criminal Minds 3x10 episode “True Night”. If you haven’t seen it go watch it! One of his best performances!

[@irenalawlor1935]

Kristen Stewart, the twilight shit seeing Robert Pattinson. Batman being the only movie I've seen him in, he just makes me see Bruce

Hayden Panettiere was not on "One life to live", she was "Guiding Light "

[@rashawnaking8583]

I noticed that too, wrong show

[@gmanandhislady]

She was on both shows, actually. However, the clip they showed her in was Guiding Light, not One Life To Live. I personally only remember her on GL, but I didn't watch OLTL.

[@TheListenerCanon]

Um, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was mostly a child star in the 90s. I think it's a stretch to put him in this list when he's more 90s than 2000s.

Most child stars end up becoming such disasters, unfortunately.

[@chasehedges6775]

The child actress who played Maisie in the last 2 Jurassic World films, Isabella Sermon, seems to be a case of “having her around for 2 films and the filmmakers then casually discarding her when they are through with her.”

[@chasehedges6775]

Sadly, this is unfortunately true for a lot of them. Some are luckier than others tho but still….
