Remember Max from Shaq's genie movie, 'Kazaam'? Yeah, he looks a whole lot different now

Updated July 20, 2016 at 12:37 p.m.·2 min read

If you remember, back in 1996, there was a little film called "Kazaam."

"Kazaam" was the story of a genie, played by Shaq...yes, that Shaq, who helped grant a young boy, Max, three wishes. Your normal Genie story, right? Except for the fact that the genie is a seven foot basketball player.

Nevertheless, the 1996 movie was pretty iconic in its time, and we couldn't help but wonder, what is Maxwell Connor up to now?

Yep, that's him back in 1996. Just wait until you what Max (Francis Capra) looks like now.

Just a bit different, don't you think? Capra has busy since his days on the "Kazaam" set, having starred in multiple projects from "American Dreams," to "Veronica Mars" to "Heroes." According to his IMDb, the now 33 year-old actor last starred in CBS' "NCIS" back in 2014. There is a good chance you also recognize him from his very first role in 1993 as Calogero in "A Bronx Tale."

Just this past month marked the 20th anniversary of the "Kazaam" -- how crazy is that?

Canada ministers to meet Trump aides in Florida over tariff risks
Canada's new finance minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly will meet aides to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on Friday to discuss the risks of imposing new trade tariffs, the Canadian government said. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on imports from Canada when he takes office in January unless the country reduces the flow of migrants and fentanyl into the U.S. LeBlanc's office said in a statement on Thursday that the two ministers would highlight "the negative impacts that the imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods would have on both Canada and the United States."

In a time of change Sky News spent a critical year on a farm - find out what we learnt
Many months before farmers found themselves on the front pages of newspapers, after protesting in Whitehall against the new government's inheritance tax rules, we at Sky News embarked upon a project. This, after all, was the year the new post-Brexit regime for farm payments would come into full force. The upshot of these deals is that UK farmers are now competing with two of the world's major food exporters, who can export more into Britain than they do currently.

Oil prices set for weekly gain on China stimulus optimism
The World Bank on Thursday raised its forecast for China's economic growth in 2024 and 2025, but warned that subdued household and business confidence, along with headwinds in the property sector, would keep weighing it down next year. China on Thursday revised upwards the size of its economy by 2.7%, but said the change would have little impact on growth this year, as policymakers pledged more stimulus to spur expansion in 2025. Chinese authorities have agreed to issue 3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) worth of special treasury bonds next year, as Beijing ramps up fiscal stimulus to revive a faltering economy.

Inflation in Japan's capital accelerates, keeps rate hike prospects intact
TOKYO (Reuters) -Core inflation in Japan's capital accelerated in December while services inflation held steady, data showed on Friday, keeping alive market expectations for a near-term interest rate hike. The data will be among factors the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will scrutinise at its next policy meeting on Jan. 23-24, when some analysts expect it to hike short-term interest rates. Another index that strips away both fresh food and fuel costs, which is closely watched by the BOJ as a better gauge of demand-driven inflation, rose 1.8% in December from a year earlier after increasing 1.9% in November, the data showed.
