Former 2000s Movie Child Stars Who Look Fantastic Today

Facts

12. Olivia Olson – Love Actually

An interesting case as she barely speaks in the film that allows her to be a part of this list, despite that, Olivia Olson’s part in Love Actually is largely memorable for the use of her voice. Cast as a little girl that one of the movie’s main characters, a little boy, feels he is hopelessly in love with, one of the film’s main moments involves them briefly speaking as she is about to leave on a plane. Prior to that, however, she was at the center of a school’s Christmas show where she sang the Mariah Carey song “All I Want for Christmas” as the smitten young man accompanied her on the drums. Twenty-five years old today, all we can say is that we could totally understand if someone her age developed an all-encompassing crush on her.

11. Dakota Blue Richards – The Golden Compass

It may be forgotten today, but for a time after the immense success of the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings franchises, there were several other intended fantasy series that studios tried to launch. One of the most notable of the bunch, The Golden Compass has its fair share of fans but it fell significantly short of its studio’s hopes which ensured that its intended sequels were dropped. Starring Dakota Blue Richard, she turned thirteen the same year that film came out and has since gone on to appear in the show Skins and other movies like The Secret of Moonacre, among others. Someone who is twenty-three years old now, she has become a buxom blonde that we can imagine turns heads wherever she goes.

10. Taylor Dooley – The Adventures Of Sharkboy And Lavagirl 3-D

Arguably one of the most important directors of his generation, let alone of all time, Robert Rodriguez has put his fingerprints on the film industry in a big way since he rose to prominence. That said, not everything he touches has stood the test of time, and one of his less remembered films is 2005’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Following a similar format to his Spy Kids series, the movie which was aimed at kids also starred a pair of youngsters, one of whom was Taylor Dooley, an actor that turned twelve the year the film came out. Twenty-four years old now, she has become a wonderful looking woman even without the bright pink hair she wore in her biggest film to date.
