I just finished watching stand by me, a movie from 1986. and throughout the entire movie, i kept thinking "wow! this vern kid looks exactly like jerry o connell."
really funny and i check out the movie on imdb and it really is him. haha fat chubby kid.
it's funny how u recognised him because I think he looks totally different.
shareSame here, kat. I was shocked when I found out it was him.
Sean Barker: You go get help. I'll handle the bear.
Corey: Right.
I honestly didn't think he looked like him at all, and i was watching the making of the film on my dvd and there was interviews with them like 20 years later or something and i saw him and was like whatttt!? he was vern?! was quite shocked tbhtbhtbhhhh
Drink Up Me 'Earties Yo Ho
yeah I have it on dvd and after me and my parents watched it we watched the interviews of them now and when it showed Jerry I was like, who the hell is that, he wasn't in the film. That's when I first discovered him :D

He wasn't a fat kid he had to gain weight for the film.
shareYeah, he was a fat kid. Go search for interviews, he's said it enough. He said he doesn't like talking about this film because of his weight in it. Do some research next time before you say something about someone you don't know.
This is from a fansite for Jerry: Taking a Stand
When he was 11, Jerry beat out about 500 kids for his first acting role, in the movie Stand by Me (which he almost didn't take because it meant having to miss camp). Twelve years later, at 6'3" and 180 pounds, he is rarely recognized as "the fat kid from Stand By Me," a tag he says he could live without. "I was never really fat. I was a chunky little kid. My mom gets upset when people say I was the fat kid."
Here's the link to that information. It was from a teen people in 1998. He said he was chunky, not fat, but still, your comment is wrong.
Minds are like books, they only function when open.
Shazza, I know a lot more about Jerry than you ever will as it so happens his grandfather was my uncle which makes his father and I first cousins. I have photos of him around that age to prove he wasn't fat. Now what was that you said about doing some research?
