Christa B. Allen, who portrayed the younger version of Jenna Risk in 13 Going on 30, has now celebrated her own 30th birthday in real life. 13 Going on 30 starred Jennifer Garner in the leading role as the grown-up Jenna, alongside a star-studded supporting cast that includes Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, and Andy Serkis. Eventually becoming one of the year’s best-selling rental items on its release in 2004, 13 Going On 30 has since become a classic romantic comedy that is both heavily nostalgic and a coming-of-age story.

The film initially follows the life of 13-year-old Jenna, who aspires to become popular in her school life. However, after being completely humiliated by mean-girl clique, the “Six Chicks,” she makes a wish to be “30, flirty, and thriving” so she can leave her reality behind. Inexplicably, her wish comes true and, Jenna wakes up the next morning as a 30-year-old magazine editor. The downside is that she doesn’t recall anything over the past seventeen years, including her now-frosty relationship with her childhood best friend, Matt (Ruffalo).

Now, Allen had finally reached her own 30th birthday, creating an almost surreal feeling for fans of the 2004 film. A tweet from Letterboxd celebrated the actress’ age milestone on the platform’s official account. The post includes a side-by-side comparison of Allen in her role as the young high schooler and a photo of her now, and wishes her a happy birthday. Check it out below:

Despite the 17 long years since the release of the film, many of its cast members still reflect on 13 Going On 30 and fondly look back on certain scenes and callbacks, including Allen. Just last year, the actress released a short but fun throwback to the original film on Instagram, in which she fully recreated a scene from the film and portrayed Garner’s version of the older Jenna Rink. In the clip, Allen prepares to get ready for the day by doing her own makeup and getting dressed as Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” played in the background, also captioning the post “Jenna Rink forever.”

From fans’ reaction to the post, it’s clear that seeing the 13 Going On 30 star finally reaching this milestone herself has stirred up an extreme amount of nostalgia. If anything, it has caused many to become ultra-aware of the 17 years that have passed since the film’s original release, despite it feeling to many like it was just yesterday. In this way, Allen’s birthday has thrown many viewers right back into the paste, much like the original 13 Going on 30 movie did.
