In 1992, Leonardo DiCaprio, future star of The Man in the Iron Mask, burst onto the scene as the newest cast member of the hit sitcom Growing Pains, which is now streaming on Prime Video. Premiering in 1985 and starring Kirk Cameron, Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns, and oodles of familial love, the series is exactly what you’d expect from an ’80s sitcom that centers on the madcap antics of former teen scamp Kirk Cameron. Growing Pains is a good show that just so happens to have a true banger of a theme song. Decider’s resident youth correspondent Claire Spellberg confirmed that the song “straight slaps” and is “catchy af.” Both of those things, I’m told, are positive.

During the final season of the series, the Seaver family pulled a pre-Sandy Cohen by adopting a bright homeless kid, Luke, portrayed with an abundance of youthful moxie by Tobey Maguire’s lifelong friend Leonardo “She likes me for me” DiCaprio. Growing Pains launched DiCaprio’s career as the actor went on to appear in a number of beloved films, including Titanic, The Departed, Romeo Addition Sign Juliet, Inception, and Catch Me If You Can.

He also starred in the aforementioned movie The Man in the Iron Mask, which is a film about a man in an iron mask.

Do I truly believe that Leo’s work on Growing Pains is his “best role”? No. That’s just me joshing with you. But you know what? Growing Pains is probably DiCap’s best comedic performance. Think about it. The Great Gatsby? I don’t think so, old sport. The Wolf of Wallstreet? An entertaining movie, but a comedy? Woof. The Man in the Iron Mask? No idea. I’ve never seen it, but the mere fact that this movie exists fascinates me for some unknown reason. If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching Leo “Sunny” D in Growing Pains, you should head to Amazon. He’s not only legitimately good, regularly holding his own while matching theatrical wits with Kirk “my sister was on Full House” Cameron, but he was also forced to deliver some of the most bizarre lines in sitcom history.

Let’s revisit the two best aspects of this good-but-not-great sitcom: The theme song (obviously) and a young Leonardo “you better believe I’m going to sit backwards on this chair” DiCaprio being forced to say a bunch of super strange shit.
