'I don't think I want to play a teenager anymore.'
Most teen idols at some point or another grow out of not only not wanting, but no longer being able to play teenagers. With his baby face, actor Devon Sawa was still able to play teens well into his twenties. Now 42, the Canadian born Sawa posted the image above this past February on his Instagram. Although no longer a teen, he looks as hot as he did when I first saw him on screen.
Like many of you I'm sure, I first saw that adorable face back when Devon actually was a teenager when he appeared briefly in the form of Casper at the end of the 1995 film. Devon went on to have a much talked about skinny dipping scene in Now And Then. Despite all the claims there was a frontal, the actor was still a teenager, and modesty pouches were worn by all four of the actors in the scene.

Given how long I've been working on FH, I often find myself focusing on the change, and the many themes that go along with it. Although the web is full of those 'now and then' images of celebrities, most of which are click bait, and usually meant to embarrass, or humiliate, for most, change is actually a positive thing. Sawa was an adorable teen with the a face, nose and the blonde hair, perfect for a teen idol. At 42, the actor still has that great face and nose, and his body is in incredible shape. Although his appearances in Casper and Now And Then were memorable memories from my own teen years, I'm much more drawn to Devon today and the wider variety of roles he's now able to take.
Although he's not nude, there is some nudity in this clip from 1998's Around The Fire. Eric Mabius also looks great in the scene.

Slackers (2002)
Sawa showed a wee bit of butt crack in 1998's Slackers. You can see the film was yet another victim of the ole evolution from VHS to DVD. The DVD (cap about) cuts out all of Sawa's butt, a portion of which was seen on the VHS release. (below)
