Anthony Michael Hall Revives Talk Of Chevy Chase’s Infamous On

For decades, fans have cherished National Lampoon’s Vacation as one of the funniest comedies of the 1980s. At the heart of that film was Anthony Michael Hall, then just 14 years old, who played Rusty Griswold alongside Chevy Chase. Today, Hall’s story of how puberty unexpectedly impacted filming offers a nostalgic yet awkward reminder of how quickly childhood fades.

Hall, now 57, recently revisited this memory during a panel at Fan Expo Chicago. As the actor reflected on the experience, he revealed how Chase reacted when the teenager returned to film reshoots looking completely different from the boy who had originally been cast. His recollection not only highlights the unpredictable realities of Hollywood but also connects fans back to an era of iconic comedy.
