Headline: Devon Sawa Reflects on ’90s Heartthrob Status: “I’ve Come to Peace With It”
Summary:
Devon Sawa, the actor who captured the hearts of millennial girls in the 1990s with roles in films like “Casper” and “Now and Then,” is reflecting on his teen heartthrob era. Now 47, Sawa says he’s made peace with the enduring impact of those early roles. While acknowledging the competition from other teen stars like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Sawa recognizes the unique position he held as the non-threatening, respectful love interest in female-centric family films, embodying an early PG-rated fantasy for many young girls. After years of distancing himself from his early work, he now accepts that “it’s never going to go away.”
