It has been 14 years since the release of the beloved Christmas film Nativity!, and the young cast members have grown up and moved on to diverse careers, from Britain's Got Talent appearances to interviewing Hollywood stars.
Ben Wilby, who played the memorable Bob, was just seven when he beat 500 other children for the role. Born with craniosynostosis, he underwent brain surgery at age two and was told he might never walk or talk. He later became a European Freestyle Champion dancer and has acted in TV shows such as Father Brown and Cuckoo. In 2014, he famously flirted with Cameron Diaz during an interview, asking for her phone number. He now studies at Emil Dale Academy and has 80,000 TikTok followers.
Cadi Mullane, who played Crystal in the first film, turned eight on set and recalled Martin Freeman singing happy birthday to her. Now 23, she performs in musical theatre and shares memories of filming on social media, noting that the script was largely improvised by the children.
Jake Pratt, who played Alfie, appeared only in the first film but had already competed in the inaugural series of Britain's Got Talent as a comedian at age 10. His routine, which included singing Liza Minnelli's 'Life is a Cabaret', earned him a place in the next round.
