Danny Pintauro is getting brutally honest about life after child stardom.
The former “Who’s the Boss?” star, now 50, shared what his life is like after fame as he posted a selfie from his latest side hustle — delivering packages.
In a candid Instagram post, Pintauro shared a photo of himself sitting behind the wheel with a car full of deliveries.

“Working hard while ‘not working.’ The entertainment business has been soooo slow, so I’ve been doing what a lot of people do — figuring it out, showing up, and taking the work that’s there while I keep building the work I really want. 38 packages today! There’s no shame in staying in motion,” Pintauro captioned the post.

Pintauro shot to fame on “Who’s the Boss?”, starring opposite Tony Danza, Judith Light and Alyssa Milano. As Jonathan Bower, he became a fan favorite during the show’s eight-season run from 1984 to 1992.

His candid post comes after a frightening health scare that nearly turned deadly.
In December 2024, Pintauro revealed he was rushed to the hospital following a Thanksgiving scooter accident.

His husband, Wil Tabares, drove him to the hospital, where doctors discovered the accident had caused a tear in his stomach lining — a life-threatening injury.

According to Pintauro, the damage triggered “an infection in my bloodstream,” while “air and stomach acid, etc, were escaping into my abdomen.”

Calling it “the most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt in my whole life,” he revealed the diagnosis led to “emergency surgery last night to repair the tear.”

“If I had waited any longer, I could have died,” Pintauro shared at the time, adding that listening to his body ultimately saved his life. He said it “was the one who told me something was absolutely wrong.”
Since his early success, Pintauro has largely stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, relocating from California and pursuing a different path while still taking on occasional acting roles, including appearances in projects like “The Quarantine Bunch” and “A Country Christmas Harmony.”
