Christa B. Allen played a 13-year-old version of Jennifer Garner in the noughties rom com.
If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably seen 13 Going On 30 at least five times over lockdown.
The 2004 rom com tells the story of Jenna Rink, who makes a wish on her thirteenth birthday and wakes up the next day as a thirty-year-old woman.
THIRTY FLIRTY AND THRIVING.
But prepare to feel really old, as the actress who played 13-year-old Jenna has now revealed she's about to turn 30 in real life.
Christa B. Allen dropped the bombshell on a TikTok video, telling her 1.3 million followers: "People be like 'weren't you the 13 year old in 13 Going On 30?"
She then adds: "Yup. And I'm almost 30 now. Feel old yet?"

“Omg that was my FAVOURITE MOVIE!!!,” said another, while a third added: “feel old . thirty flirty and thriving, thirty flirty and thriving, thirty flirty and thriving, thirty flirty and thriving.”
Some people even asked Christa to re-create iconic scenes from the film, as another wrote: “so are you going to re-film all the bits of the film where you're 30 now that would be so cool.”
And someone else said: “Omg ok but like remake of 13 going on 30 featuring you as 13 AND 30”.
