The overnight stardom and mounting expectations of people backfired as he found it difficult to adjust with the newly-found fame and star status. The following year, he was cast for the role of Jim Hawkins for the TV adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic book, ‘Treasure Island’. He starred opposite Charlton Heston.
