Child Movie Stars From 70s And 80s Then And Now

5. Ron Howard

Thanks to baby Ron’s stellar performances as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Riche on Happy Days, he earned himself the title of a successful child actor. But it took him years to realize that acting wasn’t his forte and that he prefers directing. There’s this one movie you may have heard of, called Solo: A Star Wars Story. Aside from that hit Howard also did The Da Vinci Code, A Beautiful Mind, and more.
