Mike Lickenlin, the kid who played Bobby on the Brady Bunch, just opened up about his

wild 20s on a podcast with his former castmate.

He says after five seasons on the squeaky clean family show, he finally got to live the

childhood he missed out on as a kid actor.

Starting at just 8 years old in 1969, by the time it wrapped, he was hitting his teens

and ready to go fully off the rails with a car, cash, and no rules holding him back.

He got real thankful that smartphones with high-deaf cameras weren't around back then.

At 25, he was making choices that could have gone viral and wrecked his rep forever if

everyone had a pocket camera like today.

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 their real folks.

Nobody wanted to let Florence or Bob down, and that fear of disappointing them was a big

deterrent from acting out too bad.

Lickenlin stuck around for reunions like the psychedelic variety hour in the 70s and

the Bradys in the 90s.

He married Kelly Wormuth in 1987, had two kids, beat alcoholism by getting sober around

2013, and now runs a business, crafting concrete countertops, fireplaces, and benches.

These Brady Bros. chats show how child-stardom lingers, but Lickenlin's owning his path from

chaos to steady ground these days.
