The child star, who played little Lucifer, told Total Film that since the movie, "a few freaks have been in touch". He said: "One man knocked on my door with a set of six knifes he claimed were from our film. He asked me to sign the case. I was bathing my daughter at the time."

Even though he now runs a London based chauffeur business, Stephens was lured back on the movie scene in the 2006 remake, where he played a tabloid reporter.
