Back in 1988, an actor gained early fame as a child in one of the most frightening horror motion pictures of that decade.

Now at age 45, the movie star looks totally different from his youth, having recently promoted a fan gathering on Instagram.

The performer in question is Alex Vincent, who portrayed Andy in Child's Play, the inaugural Chucky movie.

As an adult, he appears very different from his early horror days while discussing a recent fan gathering on social media.

The performer was only six years old when he acted in the scary picture about an animated doll embarking on a murder spree.

Alex later appeared in all three Child's Play motion pictures released up until 1991.

The movie personality subsequently returned for the 2013 feature Curse of Chucky and appeared in the television series reboot six years later.

Today, Alex frequently attends horror movie conventions to interact with admirers of the popular franchise.

The initial Child's Play release premiered in 1988 and generated a series containing six sequels.

The storyline follows Chucky, a murderer known as the Lakeshore Strangler, who uses voodoo to place his soul inside a toy figure.

Alex portrays Andy, a youngster persistently tormented by Chucky throughout the franchise as the toy blames him for the killings.

Reflecting on starring in such a frightening movie at a tender age, the performer told Indiemacuser.com, "The content didn't matter much to me, in terms of scaring me."

He continued, "I was a bright kid... And nothing about being on that set was scary."

The former juvenile actor added, "It was an incredibly fun and exciting experience for me at six-years-old."

He noted, "I got to leave school for a couple months and go work with a super cool electrical puppet in Chicago and LA."

Even though he is recognized for one of the most famous scary features ever produced, Alex shared an unexpected confession.

"I'm not the biggest horror fan!" the actor acknowledged.

Nevertheless, Alex stated, "But I know a lot of horror icons personally, so I am familiar with their films."
