Stars then and now: what happened to the cast of “Bridge to Terabithia” 16 years later

Then and now: what happened to the actors of the film

A rare case – child actors have a relatively successful career behind them.

Josh Hutcherson (Jess Aarons)

Now we know Hutcherson as a successful Hollywood actor and he was 15 years old at the time of filming. At the same time, the teenager already had enough film experience – from the age of four he dreamed of being an actor, and at the age of nine he realized his dream. But he will achieve real success by playing in the Hunger Games franchise, which has been published since 2012. Today, Josh is actively filming.

AnnaSophia Robb (Leslie Burke)

John’s young partner was AnnaSophia Robb (and may have been Dakota Fanning, who was offered the role first). AnnaSophia made her debut in a 2004 episode of the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh. She was 14 years old when Bridge to Terabithia was filmed. After the actress starred in several other films including Harvest (2007), Jumper (2008), Race to Witch Mountain (2009) and Soul Surfer (2011). Lately, the actress has been working more in television projects. You can also see her in Ed Sheeran’s video for “Shivers”.

Zooey Deschanel (Miss Edmonds)

In the film, the actress played the main characters’ music teacher. She has been acting in films since the late 1990s, so by then she already had several notable projects on her resume, such as Almost Famous (2000) or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005). Perhaps the most famous in the filmography of the actress are the picture “500 days of summer” (2009), as well as the series “New Girl”, which made her really popular. Deschanel also has a successful music career and recently launched her own podcast.

Bailee Madison (Mae Belle Aarons)

At the age of eight, the actress played the curious younger sister of the hero Hutcherson. Before filming Bridge to Terabithia, she had only one role, in The Lonely Hearts (2006). Bailey’s acting career has developed successfully – she is still filming. Her most recent major projects include a role in HBO Max’s Pretty Little Liars reboot.

Robert Patrick (Jack Aarons)

The actor, known to the general public from the TV series The X-Files and the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day, played the father of Jesse and May. Today, Patrick is already 64 years old, but he is clearly not going to retire. In the past few years alone, he has appeared in Amazon Prime’s Goliath, HBO Max’s The Peacemaker, and Paramount+’s 1923.

Kate Butler (Mary Aarons)

In the film, the actress played the role of the protagonist’s mother. And the debut of Kate was a small appearance in the film “Hero” in 1992. It cannot be said that today Butler is a star of the first magnitude, but he has work. The actress is regularly filmed and even auditions in very successful projects – for example, she played in one of the episodes of the sensational series “The Heirs”.
