'Liar, Liar' child star Justin Cooper recalls disturbing fan mail from prisoners at age 8

Justin Cooper, who played Jim Carrey's son in the 1997 comedy "Liar, Liar" at age 8, said on the "Not So Little Rascals" podcast that he received fan mail from prisoners as a child. His mother intercepted the letters and never showed them to him, telling him only years later that inmates had written about how cute they found him. Cooper, now 37, also praised her for never leaving him alone with anyone on film sets. He added that the film's sudden fame made going out in public nearly impossible, though he enjoyed it at the time.
