Matilda star Jimmy Karz’s new look after quitting Hollywood, becoming doctor

Jimmy Karz from the iconic scene where he was forced to eat cake in front of the whole school in Matilda (1996) is now a doctor! 🩺

Speaking about his time working on Matila, he told The Do, a medical publication, that the famous cake scene took forever to shoot.

“That scene took about three weeks to film, from what I recall. I had to be on set all day, and I had to wear the same outfit every day.

“The chocolate was already encrusted on this shirt I was wearing. For continuity’s sake, every day I had to have the chocolate painted on my face the way it was painted on the day before.

“I despised the smell of chocolate for a few weeks after that.”

But after numerous roles in Hollywood he sensationally left the acting world behind and instead focused on his education- slay! 💅
