Leo Howard Opens Up About His Fans Growing Up With Him From 'Kickin' It' To New Roles

Who remembers when Leo Howard used to star in Kickin’ It?! We know we do!

The 22-year-old actor is now starring in CBS All Access’ Why Women Kill and opening up about being grateful for his days on the Disney program and talking about growing up with his fans.

“I tell you what, obviously I’m very happy for it,” Leo told ET when talking about making the transition from Disney. “It’s really cool getting the opportunity to work on a show [like Why Women Kill] and making that jump because, like you said, it can be a very difficult bridge to cross.”

He continues, “I had a slow transition. I did a show on Hulu for a couple years [called Freak-ish]. It was geared more towards young adults and [Why Women Kill], you’re correct, is one of the first things I’ve done recently that has been geared towards purely adults. So it’s been a lot of fun and it was definitely a challenge in its own way but I was really happy.”

Now many of his young fans are about his age and leaning towards watching more mature programs like Why Women Kill.

“Even though this show might be older than some of the fanbase that I’ve had, it’s not too far from what’s appropriate for these people [original fans] to watch. I like the fact that I’ve had a lot of people who have stuck with me,” Leo says. “People seem to really like it.”

If you missed it, Leo is also going to be guest starring on Legacies in season two!
