How old is Trevor Jackson from the upcoming Disney movie Let it Shine

Trevor Jackson was about 15 years old when the Disney television movie Let it Shine was released in June 2012.

The actor’s age is not published, but some archived television footage and a little math easily reveal his age. Jackson appeared on “Showtime at the Apollo” in 2006 showing off his tap-dancing skills. After performing, he told the host, Sinbad, that he was nine years old.

Jackson plays Kris McDuffy in the music themed Let It Shine. He says his favorite song from the movie is “Me and You” performed by costar Coco Jones. He told a journalist that the song is always stuck in his head.

The movie bears striking similarity to the classic play, novel and movie(s) titled “Cyrano de Bergerac”. In that work, a love triangle develops among the characters Cyrano, Roxane and Christian. In Let It Shine, a modernized plot reveals a love triangle among the characters Cyrus, Roxxie and Kris.
