LA: One of the longest running internet rumors has officially been addressed by the man himself. Somehow after Josh Saviano’s run on ’‘The Wonder Years, he become the subject of one of the first big internet rumors: Supposedly, he went on to be Marilyn Manson.
We talk to Josh Saviano, who played Paul on "The Wonder Years." He debunks one of the first internet rumors, that he grew up to be Marilyn Manson, and talks about his new life after leaving acting behind.
The claims that began in 1994 were continual, and still exist today. Saviano believes it was former cast mate Danica McKellar ‘Winnie’ that informed him of what was circulating the web. In an interview with omg Yahoo dated Wednesday, May 15, Saviano not only confirmed that he is not Manson, but also revealed in a video what he has actually been up to since his acting days.
Saviano, now 37, who is well-spoken and well-dressed shared that following his stint as Kevin Arnold’s best friend ‘Paul,’ he went on to school at Yale to study law. The former child actor is now a corporate attorney for Morrison Cohen. He now keeps his focus on helping talents to brand themselves. He uses his former experience in the entertainment industry to make others shine, and understandably believes he is relatable to his clients.
Saviano’s real work is clearly a far cry from what has been previously reported.
The actor who was additionally rumored to be Lady Gaga, says that he doesn’t have any singing skills. He is now devoted to working with those in front of the camera, and never felt compelled to act again. He doesn’t foresee a Wonder Years reunion either, but he does keep in touch with several of the cast members. The former child star also has a wife named Jennifer, and he is also looking forward to watching 'The Wonder Years' with his young daughter.
So there you have it. Josh Saviano is Josh Saviano alone.
