All grown-up: Child star transformations

Seven years ago, Jaden Smith was a baby-faced child star appearing with his dad Will in 2006's "The Pursuit of Happyness." Although he's once again starring with his father in this summer's "After Earth," Jaden isn't a kid anymore. The 14-year-old budding actor/rapper is one of many child stars who've transformed seemingly overnight into young -- and not-so-young -- adults.

Along with her older brother Jaden, 12-year-old Willow Smith has blossomed since she first appeared alongside dad Will in his 2007 film, "I Am Legend." The actress and singer showed a more mature look this spring at the May 2013 premiere of "After Earth."

Selena Gomez's appearance hasn't dramatically changed since she starred on Disney Channel's "The Wizards of Waverly Place" in 2007, but her work sure has. Now 20, Gomez has stretched herself with more mature content, like this spring's risque "Spring Breakers," and her suggestive new single, "Come and Get It."

It's still hard to believe that Rudy Huxtable is now 34 years old. Keshia Knight Pulliam, the actress who played Rudy on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992, grew up on TV but acted sporadically since then. This year, she took a dive into reality TV with ABC's competitive diving show, "Splash."

Macaulay Culkin turned a scream and an exaggerated expression into a blockbuster movie franchise when he starred in 1990's "Home Alone" at the age of 10. He went on to co-star with in 1991's "My Girl," but has in later years not been a huge fan of being on camera. In April, he <a href='http://www.eonline.com/news/408674/macaulay-culkin-s-screaming-pap-attack-in-the-u-k' target='_blank'>ripped into paparazzi</a> in the UK for trying to take his photo.
