Even though Duck Dynasty ended in 2017 after 11 seasons on the air, we still enjoy keeping up with the Robertson family. The show started in 2012 and followed the lives of the Robertsons, a large Louisiana family who ran a duck hunting company called Duck Commander.
Willie, the CEO of the company, his wife Korie, and their kids appeared as one of the focal points of the show. They are parents to John Luke, Sadie, Willie Jr., and Bella. In Season 5, we were introduced to Rebecca, who was an exchange student that stayed with them when she was 16 and became an unofficial member of their family. In the last season, we were also introduced to Rowdy, a 12-year-old boy they adopted.
Willie has great scenes with each of his kids, but one of our favorites was when he tried to help coach Little Will’s football team. He and his son ended up in a footrace, and it ended in a comical fashion!
Little Will, who Willie and Korie adopted as a baby, had to have been in middle school when this aired, but it feels like we’ve known him since he was a little kid!
Now…he’s 17 years old and we can’t believe how grown up he looks. Even at the end of the series, he still looked like a young boy.
But now, he looks like a man – with facial hair and everything!
Korie took him tuxedo shopping so they could find just the right one, but they might have had to buy more than one, seeing as he is going to three this year!
“How is [Willie Jr.] this grown up ???Such a fun day tux shopping (he’s going to 3 proms!!) and had to get him looking good for [Tim Tebow Foundation] gala this weekend,” she captioned the photos of her and her teenage son in the store.
She also noted that the woman helping them out pointed out how polite and kind Will was, but still can’t get over how grown up he looks! Check out the photos below.
To see just how much he’s grown, check out this music video he did back in 2014, which was two years after Duck Dynasty began.
