He played the role of Ray Boyd - the on screen son of Renee Zellweger - in the 1996 hit.

He was just fix years old when he filmed the Oscar-winning movie.

It led him to other work during his childhood, such as playing one of the lead roles in the Stuart Little franchise.

But these days Jonathan looks world's away from the little boy we saw three decades ago.

Now 32, he's started growing out his hair as he debuted his new locks for a recent social media post.

Posing at a football stadium in Texas, Jonathan looked dapper as he wore a tuxedo along with a black hat.

Commenting on his new appearance, one fan said: "That hair! Looking great!!!"

A second posted: "Yeehawww, cowboy! That’s a good look right there."

While a third said: "Love the hair man!"

Jonathan previously made his debut on the small screen here in the UK when he took part in Celebs Go Dating.

He enlisted the help of the dating experts from the hit E4 show to help him find love in 2018.

Sadly, however, his time on the reality series didn't go how he hoped for.

Fans watched him storm out of a date over one woman's references to him as a child star.

He said at the time: “If someone can only see me for the child actor I was, that's going to be a huge issue in a relationship.

“I’ve been doubted my whole life and I’ve overcome every single thing and you know I always keep coming back.”

According to his IMDb page, Jonathan has five projects coming up, including a horror called 'Camp Pleasant Lake'.
