Why This 'Goonies' Actor Isn't Interested In Returning For A Sequel

Jeff B. Cohen is happier these days as a lawyer, but he'd love for Brad Pitt to take his place.

It's been 30 years since Jeff B. Cohen starred in the '80s cult classic "Goonies," and though a sequel is rumored to be in the works, the child actor who has since become a lawyer and writer doesn't see himself returning to the big screen anytime soon.

"As far as the sequel, I think it's great," Cohen told HuffPost Live on Thursday. "[But] I think I'm better off being a lawyer. I think it's safer for me to be on that side of it."

Cohen, who famously performed the "truffle shuffle" in the film as a 10-year-old, does have an interest in who inherits the role of his former character, Chunk, however.

"For me, there's two ways to go," he laughed. "Chris Pine or Brad Pitt."
