Authorities added that the “Drake & Josh” alum, 36, was last seen Wednesday evening just before 9 p.m. near Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The Nickelodeon alum’s young sun was even seen holding on to a Cookie Monster doll.

An unidentified source, who was at SeaWorld at the same time, told TMZ that he approached Bell to tell him he was a fan.

The actor was reportedly “nice,” “soft-spoken” and “seemed fine.”

Daytona Beach Police in Florida announced Thursday that Bell was last seen in their town on Wednesday evening.

For reference, SeaWorld Orlando is about more than an hour away from the high school the cops mentioned. It is unclear why the former child star was at that location.

Police also did not mention whether Bell’s son was with him, and they did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Bell shares Jeremy with his estranged wife Janet Von Schmeling. Page Six exclusively reported in January that the former couple is going through a separation.
