Every child who loved chocolate wanted to be Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda.

The character -- portrayed by actor Jimmy Karz -- was a hero to icing enthusiasts everywhere and his cake-eating scene is engrained our minds forever.

What Matilda fans probably haven't realized is that Bruce Bogtrotter is all grown up.

Karz's new look is currently putting the Internet in quite a state.

Not bad, eh?

It also looks like he traded that icing beard for a real one.

Karz also did a recreation of his infamous cake scene with Trunchbull, also known as actress Pam Ferris.

He's really turned into quite the cutie.
