Teen Magazine (September 1998)

Hottest tv babe (comedy series): Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Vote JTT for President! Really! 

The guy has genuine political aspirations lurking behind his acting talents. “I wouldn’t mind going into politics if I could do it with dignity,” he says. “It’s one way of making a difference.”

For now, Jonathan continues to wow TV fans as Home Improvement’s sarcastic Randy Taylor. He’ll also add another big-screen notch to his career belt with the upcoming holiday flick I’ll Be Home for Christmas—and his role in the romantic comedy is a welcome change. “I’m at the point now where I need to take some steps forward,” he says.

His personal life takes a major leap forward this month, since he’s turning 17, but the party will probably be a played-down affair. JTT may have grown up in showbiz, but its definitely not all glitz and glamour for this low-key cutie. “If you could be a celebrity without being a ‘celebrity,’ that would be me,” he says. “I don’t like all that attention.”

Not that he gets much of a chance to enjoy the perks of fame. He spends his precious little free time watching C-SPAN and tooling around in his sport-utility vehicle. But mostly his life’s about work. When he’s not busy doing Home Improvement or movies, he’s studying—and earning straight As! No wonder Jonathan’s making college plans (he’s thinking Northwestern or Yale).

If he does go into politics, Jonathan knows real leadership means more than a killer smile. “Actors and athletes are fine, but kids need to see who the real heroes are.”
