The cast of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial reunited in Los Angeles this week with a very special guest joining in the fun.

Matthew De Merritt, now 52, was just 11 years old when he became one of three people to spend time inside the actual 4ft rubber E.T. suit in some of the most beloved scenes in the classic film.
