Ever wondered what happened to the kid from Stuart Little? Well, it turns out that he’s actually a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt. He achieved this after 14 years of training and has an impressive 6 pack to match his physical lifestyle. This is a far cry from his childhood image, sporting spiky hair and a bit of puppy fat.
You may remember him from movies such as Jerry Maguire and The Little Vampire. Maguire itself turned over more than $270 million, proving that Lipnicki was a top, childhood star. These days he is still a successful actor and stars in movies and in TV shows, although it’s fair to say his career isn’t as popular compared to his younger years.
One thing to note about Lipnicki is also the context of his Jiu Jitsu. Upon receiving his black belt, he claimed that he always rolled and didn’t exclusively do privates. For an actor, this is very rare as some celebrity practitioners can be accused of ducking real training due to being reliant on looks and physical features that may be compromised by sparring. This isn’t the case with Lipnicki who seems to really love the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.
