Former ’80s child actor Henry Thomas, known for playing Elliott Taylor in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, is unrecognizable over 40 years after the iconic film aired.
In the 1982 movie, Thomas starred in the beloved film alongside Drew Barrymore as his little sister, Gertie, and Robert MacNaughton as his older brother, Michael.

Today, Thomas is 53 and twice divorced. He was married to Kelly Hill from 2000 to 2002 before tying the knot with Marie Zielcke in 2004. They welcomed a daughter before divorcing in 2007. In 2009, Thomas married Annalee Fery; they share two children.
Thomas has been spotted with actress India Eisley, 31, in recent months but has not publicly confirmed they are dating. It’s unclear whether he and Fery are still legally married.
On Instagram, the former child star has shared glimpses of what he looks like today. Thomas was only 10 when ET came out, and he’s utterly recognizable today. (Which is understandable since it’s been more than 40 years.)
