You'll Barely Recognize Little Peter Shepherd From Jumanji Now

What you may not have realized is that Pierce — the boy who got his tail in a twist, before Robin Williams helped him pop it through the back of his jeans — also featured in another film that may have been a childhood favorite: Beauty and the Beast. Four years before Jumanji, Pierce was the voice of "Chip," that adorable, anthropomorphic teacup who loved his mama, and whose "s" sounds whistled through a little chip in the rim of his cup head. So, what does that mug's mug look like now?

The good news is that Pierce doesn't sport a handle or a tail in his day-to-day life. More than two decades have gone by since the release of Jumanji and three full decades have past since the 1991 release of Beauty and the Beast, making Pierce 38 years old as of January 2021. Anyone who's nearly 40 is obviously going to look quite different than they did when they were a pre-teen, and Pierce is no exception.

According to his website, the actor still enjoys filmmaking, does voice-over work, and (perhaps in a nod to his humble beginnings as a cup) even co-founded a cocktail company, Pierce & Luna, alongside his business partner Bella Luna. It looks like Bradley Pierce has reinvented himself a time or two since playing Peter Shepherd, in order to suit the rapidly changing world around him — a little trick he picked up in Jumanji, perhaps?
