Posted by Jen Chaney

You know, Jordy, the 4-year-old French singer who captured the hearts of millions (okay, at least a few French people) with his 1992 hit single "Dur dur d'être bébé" (translation: "It's Tough to be a Baby"). The tyke who holds a place in the Guiness Book of World Records as the youngest person to ever score a No. 1 single. The boy whose parents actually opened an amusement park-like venue called "Jordy's Farm." You know, this kid:

 

So where is Jordy now? In 2005, he emerged as the winner on season two of "The Farm," a "Big Brother"-like French reality show. In 2006, he released his first solo single in more than a decade. Earlier this year he turned 20 and is now the frontman for an indie rock band, whose MySpace page can be found here. And this is what he looks like:

So final verdict: Rich or rehab? Answer: Rocker.
