Carla Gugino Shared She Was 28 While Filming "Spy Kids," And I Really Gotta Reevaluate My Priorities
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
You know Carla Gugino, the most iconic MILF in existence — Ingrid Cortez from the Spy Kids series.
For Spy Kids' 20th anniversary, the actor opened up to Variety about playing a motherly figure at just 28 years old.
"What’s particularly strange about the Spy Kids of it all is I was so young when I did it," Gugino told the magazine. "I was at least 10 years too young for the role because I was supposed to have been a spy for 10 years, then had two children who were now 10 and 12. I was 28 years old."
"But [director Robert Rodriguez] kind of said, ‘My mom had 10 kids and if we play this right, no one will ever question it,'" she continued. "I think it only hurt me a little because people did think I was older than I was for a period of time."
And I wasn't the only one who was stunned by this revelation.
…28??? I still relate more to the preteen kids in the movie 😭 https://t.co/C4zkpf34CJ
Honestly, I believe it...
she originally auditioned for the role of one of the kids but was told she was too young https://t.co/Km6bfNbVS0
Is Hollywood...okay?
Reminder Jenifer Lewis was 39 playing the mother of a 33 year old Whitney Houston in The Preacher’s Wife. https://t.co/VzeX5KXAwr
I, too, would like to retire at the near-deathbed age of 28.
28 is an excellent retirement age. https://t.co/jcazRH1lJi
A very important question was posited here.
Ok ok ok ok ok ok I have HOW many years till I enter my MILF stage’#?!!!! https://t.co/5ZFG3yl4Jb
This pretty much sums it up.
i'm 28 so in hollywood can play a high school student now but in two years i can only play a very tired mom of a 12-year-old
