One of the actors/operators of the E.T. suit is Matthew De Merrit who was 12 years old at the time the movie was filmed. He was born with no legs and still uses a skateboard to get around, although it looks like he may have graduated to electric version these days. The photo above right is from the L.A. 40th anniversary screening in 2022.
Most of these photos appear in multiple places on the Internet, including the Daily Mail, none of them credited. They probably appeared in places like People magazine and the like.
