“Thirty and flirty and thriving.”
Growing up, 13 going on 30 was my absolute favourite movie.
The brilliant film, starred Jennifer Garner, as a young girl who wished that she could be a sophisticated 30-year-old and of course, her wish comes true.
At the time I thought that I knew everything there was to know about the film and its actors, for example did you know that it was called Suddenly 30 in Australia and a few other countries? And that Jenna’s boss Richard is played by Andy Serkis who went on to play Gollum in The Lord of the Rings.
But one hugely talented actor we certainly never spotted was hidden among ‘the six chicks’.
The blonde on right, in the blue polka-dot shirt is Hollywood actress Brie Larson.
Brie went on to star in Trainwreck, 21 Jump Street and Community among plenty of others but her most notable role is her incredible portrayal of Ma in Room.
She doesn’t have many lines in 13 going on 30, but even if I watched the film again I’m not sure I would have ever recognised her.
Pretty Little Liars Ashley Benson was also one of the Six Chicks, and is standing right beside Brie, wearing pink in the scene above.
