Jonathan Taylor Thomas and ‘Home Improvement’ Cast Look Unrecognizable in Rare Reunion Photo

Jonathan Taylor Thomas popped up in a rare appearance on social media, and fans couldn’t get enough of the ’90s icon.

Thomas, 44, reunited with his Home Improvement mom, Patricia Richardson, and onscreen brother Taran Noah Smith in a new Instagram shared by Richardson on Wednesday, July 29.

“My other boys,” Richardson, 75, captioned the snap.

Thomas became one of the biggest teen heartthrobs of the ’90s after landing the role of middle child Randy Taylor on Home Improvement. The sitcom was a huge hit with Tim Allen starring in the lead as Randy’s dad and Richardson taking on the role of Randy’s mom, and Thomas’ popularity exploded.

He quickly graced the covers of teen magazines, amassed a large number of screaming fans and was cast in movies like Tom and Huck, Wild America and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. Thomas also voiced young Simba in Disney’s 1994 animated film The Lion King.

However, unlike many other child stars, Thomas eventually stepped out of the limelight of Hollywood and has spent years living a largely private life. He left Home Improvement in 1998 at the age of 16 to attend high school and live a more normal teenage life.

Thomas rarely makes public appearances these days, which is why Richardson’s latest post was such a treat for fans who used to swoon over him on their TVs every week.
