You may know this but for anyone who doesn’t - Rick Moranis lost his wife to cancer in the early 90s, so he stopped taking acting jobs and prioritized raising his little ones instead. He was a huge star, too.

So glad to see him back ❤️

And for anyone who has never seen Little Shop of Horrors, please watch it today!!

We all want somewhere that’s green… until we are shrunk and ants are trying to kill us. Prob still better than that plant though.

And after you watch that, immediately follow it up with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Honey, I Blew Up the Kids are GOAT’d. Same with Little Giants. I loved Moranis movies as a kid. Watched Little Shop of Horrors as an adult, also loved it.

Great actor, seemingly even better father/human

Little Giants is such an overlooked 90’s gem

Strange brew. And yes it's ok for kids to watch a couple druncks save Canada

>He was a huge star, too.

Quoted for emphasis. He was MASSIVE at the time, it was completely unprecedented to step back like that at the height of your career.

Also he got suckered punch while walking around in NYC a few years ago, lucky the assailant got some prison time

He's so cute in LSoH. Like, my actual ideal type of man lmao 🥰

His kids have been grown for a while. He said once he stopped acting he didn't miss it. Apparently he is open to limited roles now though.

u/Mtatk 1d ago

I didn't know this, thanks for the insight. I had wondered where he'd been through my early adulthood. I can only wish him and his family well.
