Carter Jenkins holds up a heavy toaster in his arms in this new shot from The Fame issue of The Block magazine.

The 18-year-old Valentine’s Day actor opened up about the trials of transitioning from child to adult actor. Carter shared, “There aren’t many actors who have been able to make that kind of transition [from child actor] and come out good at the end and still have their career and have played good roles.”

He continued, “If the actual act of acting isn’t the payoff or isn’t the reward, all the ridiculousness will get to you and I just don’t see it being worth it… I don’t want to be a celebrity, I want to be an actor.”
