Famous child stars of the 90s and 2000s



There are plenty of Filipino celebrities who started out as child stars. Due to the popularity of showbiz personalities in the country, many young children aspire to be like their celebrity idols. So, instead of playing with their toys, many kids, together with their parents, try their luck to enter show business by attending commercial auditions and joining talent-search shows.


For some, they think of starting a career in this industry as a way to a better life, while others simply develop a liking for acting or singing at a very young age. There are also children who are exceptionally talented actors and singers and are the epitome of the cliché phrase “born to be a star.”

A number of Pinoy child stars got recognized for being the young version of a main character in a teledrama or sidekick of protagonists on TV shows and movies. A lot of them skyrocketed to fame and created their own mark in showbiz. But there are also those who chose to leave the glamorous life of being a celebrity and went on to a different career path.
