Bobby Brady's Wild Ride: From Child Star to Entrepreneur

On March 31st, Mike Lookinland, the kid who played Bobby Brady on the Brady Bunch, just opened

up on a podcast about going wild in his 20s.

He started on the show at 8 years old when it kicked off on ABC in 1969, and after 5 seasons

he was barely a teen.

But child started him still his normal childhood, so he made up for it later with cash, a car,

and total freedom straight off the rails.

He admitted it was a rough stretch, but he's grateful no one had high-deaf phone cameras

back then, like today.

That would have wrecked his life for sure, he said.

Instead, he dodged the viral spotlight and kept things under wraps.

His co-star Christopher Knight, who was Peter Brady, chimed in too.

He explained how their TV parents, Robert Reed and Florence Henderson kept the cast and

check more than real parents ever did.

Nobody wanted to let Florence or Bob down.

That fear was a real anchor.

The guys did some reunions over the years, like the Trippy Brady Bunch variety hour from

1976 to 1977, the Brady's in the 90s, and a quick pop-up on the Mask Singer in 2022.

Mike settled down, marrying Kelly Wormuth in 1987 with two kids, beat alcoholism, and

got sober around 2013.

These days, he's running a concrete business, crafting countertops, fireplaces, benches,

and cool home pieces, proof you can flip the script from sitcom, kid-to-steady entrepreneur.
