At 34, she is now the Hollywood star with a Best Actress Oscar under her belt, so can you guess who she is?
It’s Brie Larson! The star reached her peak as an actress in 2015 with the release of the thriller Room, in which she played a kidnapping victim who spent seven years trapped in a filthy shed where she takes care of her son (Jacob Tremblay), who was conceived when her kidnapper raped her.
The blonde actress was homeschooled by her parents, who were homeopathic chiropractors.
She suffered from painful shyness, but at the age of six she became the youngest student to train at the American Conservatory of Drama in San Francisco.
“My parents were chiropractors and I was very shy. I didn’t let it go. Of course, that changed the course of my life in many ways,” she said of her acting classes.
“But at a time when I was very shy and had a hard time expressing myself, at six years old, I was basically given something like, ‘Okay, here’s a script for how to have a conversation,'” she explained. “The core of how I understand how to have pleasant conversations with people is based on weekly acting sessions.”
Following her appearance on The Tonight Show, Brie landed sporadic work in projects such as the comedy Raising Dad and the films Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and 21 Jump Street.
He also released an album, Finally Out of PE, in 2005.
The star appeared in the 2004 smash hit 13 Going On 30 alongside Jennifer Garner, playing one of the obnoxious friends of Jenna’s teenage group, the Six Chicks.
