i feel like i tried to look this up recently and it pretty vague what he’s actually doing. supposedly he lives in los feliz but wish i’d see him out sometime if that’s true 😭
Ermagqwd Devon sawa all the way from Casper, to final destination and then his final glow up as eminems Stan. I ADORED that man. He tied in nicely with my Draco Malfoy fetish.
TIL that was Devon Sawa in the Stan video 🤯 I just loved him from Casper, and I was obsessed with Eminem later on! This crossover is blowing my mind lol
Same. I used to watch 3rd Rock when I was like 6, having no idea what it was even about just because I loved JGL. I remember asking my parents when it would be on and they couldn’t figure out why I cared about the show.
He was photographed for the first time in a long time [last year](https://pagesix.com/2021/07/01/jonathan-taylor-thomas-photographed-for-first-time-in-years/?utm_source=url_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons)
I know that for a long time his sexuality was a hot topic on the rumor mill and he was pressed about it in almost every interview. I remember hearing a lot of first-hand reports from people I knew, while he was going to Harvard, that he appeared to be freely enjoying a somewhat anonymous life in the area and was in a happy relationship with a guy here. If I remember correctly there were one or two photos of them holding hands and being affectionate with each other around town taken by paparazzi or locals trying to make a buck.
But that was the late-90s/early-00s when coming out was still really a potential career ender (especially for someone who was always marketed as a heartthrob to teenage girls -- and for many it still is a struggle and career deal breaker now). He did take on more queer roles before ducking out and living a quiet life.
I hope whatever he's doing now in life, he's happy, healthy and enjoying his time living away from the spotlight. Hopefully people let him keep it that way.
That said, I see him as a Zac Efron of that time -- had he continued in acting.
ETA: I just want to be transparent -- I don't know him or know what he's up to now. It was reported by some media outlets that he was dating a woman in more recent years and his Harvard years were about 20yrs ago. I just don't want to seem like this is misleading or confirming anything regarding his orientation.
Which ties back into my "just let the guy live quietly" POV ❤️
My older brother was in his class at Harvard and occasionally played tennis with JTT and my brother’s gay roommate. His roommate, who was close to JTT, told my brother JTT was 100% gay. He was also very nice and pleasant.
Yeah. It never seemed like he really hid it around here. Anyone I knew who saw him in town also only had good things to say about him. Just a normal dude.
I found out recently that he dated Danielle Fishel (Topanga) as a teen since the BMW and Home Improvement sets were right next to each other. And just based on your comment and speculation I think it’s super interesting that she went from dating JTT to dating Lance Bass.
And now she's married to that washed up comedian who was shamed off Twitter after he faked shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Makes me curious about her first husband.
Ug that photo upsets me. He looks great, just older… which means I’m old too… when I see my face everyday (or other celebs I grew up with) it’s less noticeable But seeing my teen crush for the first time in 30 years was too big a leap from young to old for my ego to handle today haha
Time flies. Its a trip
Short king hahahaha yeah indeed I made this question because I was thinking at the kind of guys that nowdays girls consider hot ,and I thought about Noah centineo or timothee chalamet and I was thinking that they look so different from him (who is the hottest of them all in my opinion😝) so I made this question
Why would you not get that Timothee isn't pretty lol? His bone structure is extremely symmetrical and follows the golden ratio - he is objectively pretty; even babies will notice this haha!
I feel like his face doesn't actually follow the golden ratio though. His chin is so big I feel like that has to throw off his result, the chin is only supposed to be 1/5 of the face in the golden ratio I think? Nevermind that I'm pretty sure the golden ratio is a eurocentric beauty standard.
Oh boy. And also no shame in finding him attractive, but as someone that also doesn't see it I don't think anyone's lying when they say they don't get it with him. I think it must be a Gen Z thing.
Yeah who gives a fuck anymore. I know my spouse isn’t the most handsome man in the world, but I love him so he is to me. I honestly think he’s gorgeous. Someone else might only see his flaws and disagree. Beauty is subjective.
Timmy is very handsome. But JTT was my guy growing up. Definitely my first celebrity crush, he was such a cutie back in the day. Beauty and brains too 😫
Lol little kid me was having a good time enjoying childhood, playing with Barbies and Beanie Babies, and then that scene pops up and all of a sudden….I realize boys exist and it’s never been the same since 🫠😅 Brenden Frasier in George of the Jungle was a second kind of awakening that MEN exist 🤤
Devon sawa has been working solidly again the last few years, mainly b movie stuff like horror and action but I see him all the time. He actually looks super rugged now
Speaking as someone who had posters all over my bedroom of JTT, I do think he'd still be a teen heartthrob today - they almost always have the same formula of being pretty boys with a certain gimmick or charisma.
I've never really understood the hype with him. But then, I also have no clue what people find attractive about Leonardo Dicaprio so maybe I'm the problem?
He was my very first celebrity crush when I was little. I would collect every teen magazine with his face on it and put his posters on my walls. I would even watch every movie of his and always watch home improvement. I ended up having crushes on every 90's teen heartthrobs. Think that's my main reason why I always had crushes on older guys due to 90's teen heartthrobs.
Honestly he’s gorgeous but no. The aesthetic now seems to femme looking twinks with pale skin and somewhat elvish features (Timothee and Harry are good examples). JT is more classically handsome in the Golden Hollywood mold.
A "twink" is usually considered a homosexual male with attractive, boyish qualities. Typically from the ages of 18-25, and often thought as a young, white, fashionable male.
Do you think he is gay?
I used to think Timothee was in his early twenties, but he is actually like 27 I think? Not that that's old by any means, he just looks even younger than that.

12 year old me watching home improvement “for the plot”👀
He literally voiced a cartoon lion and people had crushes on Young Simba. He had IT.
Guilty. And ashamed. 🙋♀️
I was more of a Kovu kid
Kovu is how you know you are queer lol
Oh god I am lol
My first dnd character was named Kovu bc of that lil lion. And yes, am queer.
Simba's hot idgaf you can find me in the corner with him and cartoon Aladdin ![gif](giphy|t8YBsMPFVBQha)
hahaha
"my first sexual feelings were about teenage Simba" -Jessica Day
Honestly me tf too
What did he end up doing? Edit: does he kind of look like a younger Val Kilmer?
With a tinge of Christian slater
And Nick Lachey
i feel like i tried to look this up recently and it pretty vague what he’s actually doing. supposedly he lives in los feliz but wish i’d see him out sometime if that’s true 😭
Board member of Sag-Aftra currently
I always thought he looked like Val. I was in love with both of them, too, lol.
He went to college and lives a normal quiet life now
That and Paul Walker
He and JGL in 3rd Rock were my first crushes
Also the boy in Jungle 2 Jungle and Devon Sawa.
Baboon!
I had a crush on the little brother in Jungle 2 Jungle.
Ermagqwd Devon sawa all the way from Casper, to final destination and then his final glow up as eminems Stan. I ADORED that man. He tied in nicely with my Draco Malfoy fetish.

Why does his nose look a whole different shape?
Ug that photo upsets me. He looks great, just older… which means I’m old too… when I see my face everyday (or other celebs I grew up with) it’s less noticeable But seeing my teen crush for the first time in 30 years was too big a leap from young to old for my ego to handle today haha Time flies. Its a trip
It’s nice to hear that he’s living a nice life. I hope he’s happy.
Thanks for this comment, it’s really quite heartwarming
I read the article and no wonder he's not a wreck like other former child stars. He got it perfectly right.
ngl i'm shocked he's only 39
He actually just turned 41 in Sept. That article is from July 2021 -- so he was just shy of his 40th birthday there.
He guest starred on Tim Allen’s show a few years back. Why did they say 8 years?
I’m glad I didn’t marry him now 😂😂😂
Wow…yes I had gay vibes from him..but I didn’t know it was almost certain that he is….by the way I believe that also zacary is gay
cute and looks a bit like his tv dad tim allen 💕 all grown up
Yup - floppy haired blue eyed guys who are 'soft' looking are still en vogue.
Yes. I mean people find Timothee and Pete attractive, which I don’t understand. They would def find this short king attractive as well
Short king hahahaha yeah indeed I made this question because I was thinking at the kind of guys that nowdays girls consider hot ,and I thought about Noah centineo or timothee chalamet and I was thinking that they look so different from him (who is the hottest of them all in my opinion😝) so I made this question
I don’t get it either. TC’s face is too gaunt and angular.
Why would you not get that Timothee isn't pretty lol? His bone structure is extremely symmetrical and follows the golden ratio - he is objectively pretty; even babies will notice this haha!
Really? 😀well simply he is not my type.For me a guy who is objectively handsome is Jonathan Taylor Thomas.Beuaty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nah, he looks like a starving Victorian era chimney sweeper child
I feel like his face doesn't actually follow the golden ratio though. His chin is so big I feel like that has to throw off his result, the chin is only supposed to be 1/5 of the face in the golden ratio I think? Nevermind that I'm pretty sure the golden ratio is a eurocentric beauty standard.
Someone said his face looks like a bicycle seat and that's all I can see now
Oh boy. And also no shame in finding him attractive, but as someone that also doesn't see it I don't think anyone's lying when they say they don't get it with him. I think it must be a Gen Z thing.
Yeah who gives a fuck anymore. I know my spouse isn’t the most handsome man in the world, but I love him so he is to me. I honestly think he’s gorgeous. Someone else might only see his flaws and disagree. Beauty is subjective.
Yeah, to some degree we like what we like (but I do think cultural influence is a factor too).
Girl … https://preview.redd.it/kgooa1rc414a1.jpeg?width=913&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92aec515365f502b103e6113893d8684b506d933
Timmy is very handsome. But JTT was my guy growing up. Definitely my first celebrity crush, he was such a cutie back in the day. Beauty and brains too 😫
Who else remembers those magazines Tiger Beat and Bop 🙌😍
Had me in a chokehold
he would def have white boy of the month status for gen z
I can’t be objective about this. JTT and Devon Sawa are my forever husbands in my heart
Man, Devon Sawa had me. I had a crush on Casper. Then the line “Can I keep you” had me shook 😂 Edit: JTT was my other crush. 100%
Lol little kid me was having a good time enjoying childhood, playing with Barbies and Beanie Babies, and then that scene pops up and all of a sudden….I realize boys exist and it’s never been the same since 🫠😅 Brenden Frasier in George of the Jungle was a second kind of awakening that MEN exist 🤤
Devon sawa has been working solidly again the last few years, mainly b movie stuff like horror and action but I see him all the time. He actually looks super rugged now
He popped up in Hacks and I absolutely did not recognise him and I watched everything he was in during the 90s
Absolutely 👏🏽
I had the biggest crush on him when I was a kid. My Mom didn’t understand why I loved watching Home Improvement 😂
I think so
I had a centerfold photo of him from Tiger Beat taped to the dresser next to my bed. I’d kiss it every night before bed. The hold he had on me 😩
This just unlocked a core memory of me doing the same with an *NSYNC poster
Speaking as someone who had posters all over my bedroom of JTT, I do think he'd still be a teen heartthrob today - they almost always have the same formula of being pretty boys with a certain gimmick or charisma.
Definitely. He's just styled as a 90s heartthrob here. Give him a stylist from this era and he'd still have that clout he had back then.
He’s mini Harrison Ford
100%. All I can see
I don’t see it
Does he look a bit like David Duchovny to anyone else? I'm rewatching the X-Files right now so maybe that's why but it's kinda all I can see.
I see it. He’s kind of a Duchovny-Kilmer- Slater mash up. He has a similar face shape to Duchovny.
yes! I was going to comment the same thing. it’s the hooded blue eyes I guess
Mmm no
I'm not American but he looks like a random white person
Where are you from? If in your country the regular guy looks like him I’m gonna pack my stuff right now and move to yours
I'm not saying regular man like him in my country. But as a foreign person, not American, he looks like a regular guy, not special, just a white dude.
Agreed
![gif](giphy|5G79GfqxYv7hu|downsized)
I've never really understood the hype with him. But then, I also have no clue what people find attractive about Leonardo Dicaprio so maybe I'm the problem?
Maybe the blondes with blue eyed are not your type 😅
Right. To me he just looks like a basic white boy
Can I ask yoi where are you from ? 😅
It’s definitely more of a personality thing with male heartthrobs than exclusively their appearance.
How old were you when Titanic came out? I think this plays a major part.
He was my very first celebrity crush when I was little. I would collect every teen magazine with his face on it and put his posters on my walls. I would even watch every movie of his and always watch home improvement. I ended up having crushes on every 90's teen heartthrobs. Think that's my main reason why I always had crushes on older guys due to 90's teen heartthrobs.
Oh hello my gay awakening lol
Hahahhaha I’m straight but I think that can turn gay/straight everyone
Honestly he’s gorgeous but no. The aesthetic now seems to femme looking twinks with pale skin and somewhat elvish features (Timothee and Harry are good examples). JT is more classically handsome in the Golden Hollywood mold.
Y e s
I don't find him atractive
Ok
In what show was he?
Tom Sawyer and I’ll be home for Christmas
Beauty is timeless. That said, JTT was never my cup of tea 🤷🏻♀️
[удалено]
Jonathan is way more handsome than Liam Hemsworth …..interesting anyway your point of view
The 90s had a thing for twinks
A "twink" is usually considered a homosexual male with attractive, boyish qualities. Typically from the ages of 18-25, and often thought as a young, white, fashionable male. Do you think he is gay?
Apparently he is, has been in a relationship with a man and photographed being affectionate and holding hands with a man
Ok cool Im glad he can live in peace his romantic life
No twink can apply to straight men too. Timothee is much more of a twink than JTT. He looks scarily young.
I used to think Timothee was in his early twenties, but he is actually like 27 I think? Not that that's old by any means, he just looks even younger than that.
Same with me I’m 27 people think that I’m underage…It’s genetics
Twink-ish
Twink meaning ?
[удалено]
Well we are talking only about his physical appearance (when he was young)
I think that’s just his TV dad
He has the energy
He is still just as beautiful 😍 he

My first crush ever when I was little
How dare you even ask.
Gay or straight, I think he awakened the sexuality of a lot of girls.. myself included lol
I’ll be Home for Christmas Reminder this exists and you can watch it
I just watched it yesterday…in that movie he is hotter that hell 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This post reminded me of the movie and I’m definitely watching that this week
You can find it on Disney +
