The Black-ish Kids Have Grown Up, and We Have the Pics to Prove It

Yara Shahidi was 14 when Black-ish started, and although she had snagged a few roles in other projects like Salt and Scandal, her time as Zoey Johnson launched her now-meteoric career.

Now on the precipice of her 20s, Yara has become an A-list actress, activist, and all-around cool girl whose table you’d want to sit at.

Miles Brown hadn’t even hit double digits by the pilot episode, but his dance moves and infectious smile made this little boy a huge star.

Flash forward six years, and alongside growing a few inches, Miles has dabbled in dancing (cue Dancing With The Stars: Juniors), rapping, and feature films.

Even when Marsai Martin played a precocious yet intimidating Diane Johnson in the first season, her deep dimples and cute wardrobe always made her charming in the end.

Still only 16, Marsai has become a powerhouse in Hollywood, breaking the record for youngest executive producer of a major film at the age of 14, and continuously racking up roles since then.

The eldest of the Johnson kids, Marcus Scribner was in the throes of teenage life, turning 15 a few months after the series premiere.

Marcus levied his newfound stardom into more and more roles, earning the lead in Disney’s Good Dinosaur (2015) and a reoccurring role in Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princess of Power in 2018.
