Hilary Duff first made a name for herself on the enormously successful Disney Channel/ABC Kids show Lizzie McGuire, which she parlayed into careers as a pop singer and film actress.
The 21-year-old actress has a new drama coming out later this year called Greta. In this teen romance, rebellious 17-year-old Greta (Duff), finds first love and self-discovery when she reluctantly goes to spend the summer with her grandparents at the Jersey shore.
Hilary doesn’t need help the reason why she was doing teen and kid movies in the first place because she had a role model status to maintain yes she’s still a role model but she’s an adult now and she’s able to choose what roles she wants to play now!
There’s a price to be paid for being a teen Disney star, you grow up too fast and skip really being a teen. Despite the fact that she probably made this on the edge of her teens, Hilary is completely unconvincing as a teenager. She is too old for this part and/or unable to get in touch with her inner teen.
