Joy, who’s now considered the oldest person to travel all the national parks of the USA, was never alone. She was always accompanied by her loving grandson, Brad. He expressed that this adventure was the greatest privilege of his life. Their tour began at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, and they finished all the way up to the South Pacific to reach American Samoa. Grandma Joy and Brad have also documented all of their epic adventures on their Instagram account @grandmajoysroadtrip. The elderly lady is relaying the message all around the world that age is, in fact, just a number, and that you can push yourself to do what you love with just a bit of inspiration.

For their last stop, the duo departed from their hometown of Duncan Falls, Ohio, and after three flights and almost 17 hours, touched down at the last stop of their beautiful expedition. American Samoa is a vast park spread across the space of seven villages. The duo enjoyed the mesmerizing views of the place and experienced its wildlife from within. According to Brad and his grandma, their park expedition might have come to an end, but their travels will go on. They are now planning to visit all seven continents of the world.

Canadian actor Jacob Tremblay recently posted a picture of himself after celebrating his 16th birthday. He started his acting career in 2013 with his debut in the live-action animated film The Smurfs 2. In the post, he compared himself with the baby version of himself and how much he’s changed over the years.

The Social Media Post

Following the ‘Then & Now’ trend on social media, Jacob Tremblay posted two pictures of himself on Twitter. In one of the pictures, he’s wearing a tux and posing while giving a thumbs-up. Compared to this nine-year-old picture, the other picture was a recent click from when he attended the premiere of My Father’s Dragon at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Fans and other stars couldn’t stop gushing over the actor’s post. Actress and dancer Taylour Page called the actor “handsome” and added some heart emojis to her comment. Actor Michael B. Jordan stated that the teen actor looks like a “fine young man” in the picture.

The Young Actor’s Journey and Inspirations

Jacob Tremblay has already been around the block for quite some time, despite his young age. His claim to fame came in 2015 when the then-nine-year-old actor starred in Room alongside Brie Larson. The movie was nominated for Best Film at the Academy Awards and made Tremblay a well-known face in the industry. His other movies include Wonder and the animated movie Luca. While promoting his middle-school comedy movie Good Boys in 2019, he stated that he took inspiration from Keanu Reeves’ iconic role as Neo in The Matrix when he was preparing himself for a paintball shot in the movie. The scene turned out to be perfect and is one of Jacob’s favorite scenes from that movie. He says it was chaotic on set because people were running around, dodging, and throwing plates and pots everywhere; but all in all, it was a fun scene.
