You'll remember him as the little kid who knew the exact weight of a human head, but today, he's totally hot! But that hasn't stopped him from being bullied in the age of social media.
In a post on Instagram, Jonathan got candid about the struggles of growing up in the spotlight.
"As a kid/teen, I was made fun of relentlessly by some people who are now even my friends on FB," he wrote. "I was told I was a has-been and would never book a job again. I was made to feel like garbage every day of middle school to the point where I had a panic attack every night before school, because I wondered how I would get through the next day."
