Bobby Edner: gay-positive child star grows up, joins a boy band, posts beefcake photos

In the short film The Seventh Sense (2001), a boy named Kyle (Bobby Edner) develops the mystical ability to see gay people.  The only problem is, they don't know they're gay.  With the help of benevolent psychiatrist, he puts his ability to good use, helping people to see themselves as they really are.














 




Bobby Edner was one of the most popular child stars of the 1990s, playing everything from the young Zack on Saved by the Bell to the "Can I touch your boobs" kid on Ellen, not to mention innumerable victims of child abuse, stranger danger, and incurable diseases.  

He appeared in commercials for Backyard Sports, Home Depot, Taco Bell, KFC, State Farm Insurance, and Fruit Roll-Ups.







He was most famous for The Day the World Ended (2001), about a boy who believes that his father, Randy Quaid, was taken over by an alien and killed his mother.  No one believes him, but it turns out he was right.

And Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003), as Francis, one of the testers of a real-life video game (along with Ryan Pinkston and Daryl Sabara).

In adolescence Bobby only a few screen roles, notably in Welcome to the Paradise (2007), as the son of a  female preacher (gasp!).  













And he voiced Vaan in several Final Fantasy video games.

More after the break











He became a singer/songrwiter, performing in the gay-positive boy bands After Romeo and Varsity Athletic Club before they "kicked him out."

















In 2013 he became a fitness trainer at PUSH Private Fitness in Chicago.  
















He may be straight, but the only woman he's shown with is his sister, actress Ashley Edner.

The adult Bobby is hard to research. His Instagram has only 12 posts.  His Facebook page hasn't been updated since 2009. No n*de photos.











But a lot of beefcake.
