“GOONIES” star JEFF COHEN’s acting dreams were shattered when he slimmed down, but he’s gone on to become a heavyweight entertainment attorney!
The once-portly child star shot to fame at age 10 playing “Chunk,” the junk-food loving teller of tall tales in the 1985 cult classic, but now he does his talking in court.
In an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW, the 38-year-old told The ENQUIRER: “Becoming a comic actor was my dream, but then you hit puberty and start to change. And being called ‘Chunk’ all the time was a pretty good incentive to get fit – which I did! I lost weight and started playing football.”
After he slimmed down, Jeff ran into the film’s executive producer Steven Spielberg, who took one look at his new physique and joked: “You used to be Chunk, now you’re a hunk!”
