screen-shot-2017-01-08-at-1-09-23-pmHere’s a surprising Old School fun fact we wanted to share with y’all ILOSM family. Remember the kid who played Whitney Houston’s son, “Fletcher,” in The Bodyguard movie? He was a 10 year old youngin’ at the time, but now dude is a 33 year old man and we had NO clue his step-mother and his dad are very popular Old School legends!

Aside from starring in The Bodyguard, he had roles in other known films and TV shows as well, including Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sugar Hill, he was the voice of one of the kids in the animated movie, Bebe’s Kids, and more. He also made a name for himself in TV shows, such as the Disney series Lizzie McGuire and Mackenzie Falls and also in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. All along, he managed to build his own brand without being buried in his famous parents’ shadows.

At 33 years old, he’s still doing his thing in the acting world. He’s currently starring in the new sci-fi series, “The Haunted.” As far as we know, DeVaughn is single has no kids as of yet, and he’s very close to his legendary parents.

That’s right, all this time has passed and most of us had know clue that we were watching actress/director/dancer, Debbie Allen’s step-son, and her NBA hubby, Norman Nixon’s, kid on the big screen with Whitney back in the day. Debbie’s been DeVaughn’s stepmom ever since he was 1 year old in 1984 when she married his dad, Norm. So he’s very close to both his biological mom (who isn’t a celeb and pretty much stays out of the public eye) and Debbie. We’re sure Debbie and Norman are very proud of DeVaughn, who looks like a spitting image of his Pops by the way.

Also speaking of the beloved Whitney, see the fun facts DeVaughn posted about his time with she and Bobby Brown and more…

FUN FACTS ABOUT DEVAUGHN NIXON

DeVaughn witnessed Whitney and Bobby B. falling in love back in the day and paid homage to both of them on Instagram…

He’s still close to his ‘uncle’ Ahmad Rashad (Phylicia Rashad’s ex-husband) and sometimes hangs out with his uncle’s good friend, Michael Jordan.

Well damn, we must say that DeVaughn Nixon comes from quite a talented blended family. With an NBA legend for a dad, an acting/dancing/directing legend for a stepmother, a legendary actress for a step-aunt (Phylicia Rashad) and an NFL legend for an ex-uncle-in-law (Ahmad Rashad), he had no choice but to soak up some of that greatness and make it his own. Good to see the brotha doing well.
