The Daily Hotness: Josh Peck

Kid stars, most of them make us run screaming past the cute years, but Josh Peck is an above-average boy, er, man. The former “funny fat kid” and cast member of Nickelodeon hits like The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh, has shed the weight and his child-proof image to take on the role of a teenage pot dealer in indie flick The Wackness. He even strips down for a shower sex scene — steamy! While Peck says a bad breakup before the film began shooting helped prepare him for the role, it seems like critics and moviegoers alike are already doing a pretty good job of stroking Josh’s…. ego.
