If the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t made you feel old and worn out already, here’s a good bit of trivia: Christa B. Allen, the actor who played 13-year-old Jenna Rink in the 2004 comedy film “13 Going On 30,” is almost 30 years old herself.
Allen revealed her age herself in a TikTok from her verified account:
"13 Going On 30" follows a 13-year-old girl who dreams of being popular, and on her 13th birthday, after being humiliated by her classmates, wishes that she was 30 years old. The next day she wakes up transformed into a 30-year-old woman (played by Jennifer Garner).
According to her IMDb page, Allen was born in November 1991. In a 2017 interview with Today, she was identified as being 27 years old. That means in November of this year, she will indeed be turning 30.
Here’s to being “30 and flirty and thriving!”
