A former child TV star from the 2000s looks completely different after 17 years since their popular show's debut.
As time goes by, it's hard to believe that the once-familiar face of Mason Vale Cotton has become almost unrecognizable. Many years have passed since he first captured our hearts on the small screen, but today he looks like a completely different person. It's been quite a journey for the young actor, who rose to fame with his breakout role on the hit American drama series, Desperate Housewives.

The show, which aired for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012, was watched by millions of viewers around the world. And in 2008, at the mere age of five or six, Mason joined the all-star cast as M.J. Delfino, the son of Susan and Mike Delfino, played by Teri Hatcher and James Denton. He started out as a recurring character in the fifth season, but eventually became a regular cast member in the final seasons.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that the charming little boy we saw on our screens has now grown into a 22-year-old man. Mason's transformation is truly remarkable, and it's clear that he has come a long way since his days on Desperate Housewives. In fact, he continued to make a name for himself as a child actor, taking on the role of Bobby Draper in the AMC drama series Mad Men from 2012 to 2015. He even received a prestigious nomination for his performance in 2016.

But as he entered his adult years, Mason decided to take a break from acting and focus on other interests, such as sports. His social media accounts show his passion for football, as he plays as a wide receiver for the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps team. It's clear that he has found a new passion and is thriving in his new endeavors.

As we reflect on the 20th anniversary of Desperate Housewives in October 2024, it's hard not to think about the behind-the-scenes drama that surrounded the show. Reports of feuds and tension between the four lead stars, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, and Teri Hatcher, constantly made headlines. Even guest stars, like Drea de Matteo, were warned about the tense atmosphere on set when they joined the show.

Despite the drama, Desperate Housewives will always hold a special place in Mason's heart, as it kickstarted his successful career in the entertainment industry. And even though he has since moved on to other ventures, he will always be remembered as the adorable M.J. Delfino and Bobby Draper. Who knows, maybe we'll see him back on our screens in the future. But for now, Mason is enjoying his new path and living his best life.
