"You're not hardcore, unless you live hardcore!"

Since its release in 2004, School of Rock has become an iconic movie - especially among Millennials.

Starring Jack Black as Dewey Finn, the film is about a down-and-out musician whose band kicks him out right before Battle of the Bands.

While at first Dewey stews in his in his own misery, he eventually gets himself a new gig...sort of.

After chatting to Rosalie Mullins (Joan Cusack), the headteacher at Horace Green prep, Dewey decides to take up the "temp" job at the school intended for his friend and roommate, Ned Schneebly (Mike White).

Initially, Dewey just whiles away the time, but he soon discovers the kids in his class are extraordinarily gifted musicians.

He then forms a rock band of his own to take to the competition.

So, where are the child actors from School of Rock today? Let's take a look...
