On Sunday, August 17, Hall, 57, and Chase, 81, attended the cast reunion at Fan Expo Chicago, where the actor shared how his entry into adolescence did not go unnoticed by his fellow cast members.

According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, Hall, who played Rusty, the son of Clark Griswold (Chase), in the 1983 film, spoke about suddenly hitting adolescence: “Puberty came for me,” Hall said at the event. “I was about a foot taller and looked like a different kid,” he said.

“Guess who immediately pointed it out and made me feel really good about it on set,” he said, referring to Chase.

The actors were joined by other cast members such as Beverly D’Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Dana Barron, and Randy Quaid. In a post on Instagram, Chase shared some moments from the reunion.
