Liar Liar Child Star Reveals How He Got ‘Wild’ Letters From Prisoners at Peak of Young Fame
He said his mother shielded him from prison mail and other troubling fan letters after the 1997 comedy made him a child star.
- Former child actor Justin Cooper, 37, revealed on the Not So Little Rascals podcast that prisoners sent him fan mail describing him as a "cute kid" while he rose to fame in the 1997 comedy Liar Liar.
- Cooper played Max Reede, the son of Jim Carrey's lawyer character in Liar Liar, a blockbuster that grossed more than $300 million worldwide and transformed his everyday life.
- Podcast hosts Jordan Warkol and Blake Collins described the letters as "wild," while Cooper credited his mother for shielding him from the "scary" correspondence and not leaving him alone on film sets.
- Cooper said the attention probably "annoyed his family a little bit more," recalling strangers lining up at buffets in his hometown requesting autographs and making public life nearly impossible.
- After his final acting credit in a 2003 episode of The Practice, Cooper left Hollywood and now works as an executive producer for The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio.
