From being the most prominent child star of the 1970s to now appearing quite worn, his latest look has sparked concerns among fans

Many people aspire to carve out a niche for themselves under the Hollywood spotlight, but few realize that dream. Ricky Schroder, who gained fame as a child actor, became a household name at a young age. However, recent images of him have raised concerns among fans.

Born on April 13, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, Ricky began his acting journey in the late 1970s with the film The Champ, a role that earned him a Golden Globe and opened doors to more opportunities. He became well-known for his role in the beloved sitcom Silver Spoons, which ran from 1982 to 1987, further solidifying his reputation as a talented young actor.

Throughout his career, Ricky has appeared in various popular shows, including NYPD Blue, Scrubs, and Strong Medicine. He also ventured into directing and producing, notably earning the Best Director Award at the San Diego International Film Festival for his 2004 project, Black Cloud.

Despite his professional success, Ricky faced challenges in his personal life. In 1992, he was arrested following allegations of domestic violence made by his girlfriend, Andrea Bernard. The couple later reconciled, married, and had four children: Holden, Luke, Cambrie, and Faith, but their marriage ended in 2016.

After the divorce, Ricky struggled with personal issues, including partying, and faced estrangement from his eldest daughter. He was arrested again for domestic violence, though the case was ultimately dismissed.

In recent years, Ricky has distanced himself from the public eye, opting to live on his farm. He occasionally connects with fans through social media, sharing glimpses of his life and home.

One recent video sparked considerable attention, with viewers commenting on his noticeable change in appearance. Clad in typical farmer attire, he reminisced about his youth and spoke about his uncle’s military influence while urging fans to stay vigilant against corruption in the federal system.

However, many comments focused less on his message and more on his looks, with some expressing concern over his “rough” appearance. “What happened to Ricky Schroder?” one viewer questioned, while others echoed similar sentiments.

Conversely, some fans defended him, attributing his rugged look to his hard work as a farmer. “He’s living an honest life”, one commenter praised. It’s heartening to see Ricky Schroder embrace life on his own terms.

The world’s strongest boy. He is currently 24 years old

About 15 years ago, Richard Sandrak, who moved from Ukraine to the United States, was called the strongest boy in the world.

Richard started to exercise seriously when he was just a child. And at the age of 8 he could bench-press with more than 30 pounds! At 11 years of age he lifted 53 pounds!

Now he’s 24 years old and it’s hard to call him a jock.

Once he was given the nickname «Little Hercules», he was constantly invited to competitions, TV-shows, commercials, magazines and even movies. That’s why Richard’s family moved to California, so the son could fully realize himself.

Training, nutrition, regime — these points were monitored by the boy’s father — a former world champion in martial arts. Very often the man was criticized for abusing his son and putting a lot of pressure on him.

And when Richard was 11 years old, he called the police when his father assaulted his mother. The man was put in jail for domestic violence.

The boy stopped communicating with his father and no longer recognized him. For a while he was still practicing, but gradually it became less and less.

At the moment Richard says: «I am very proud of my achievements as a child, I am not ashamed of them and I do not try to hide this page of my life from anyone. And he adds: «I just don’t want to live like that anymore.» «They tried to make me look like some kind of abomination of nature.»

Now Richard continues to exercise, but not as fanatically. He runs every morning and also likes skateboarding. By profession, he is a stuntman at the show «Waterworld» in Los Angeles, where he is set on fire at least five times a day, and then he has to dive into the water from a great height.
