Ordinary life 00s movie bombshell hasn’t aged a day in 22 years since hit comedy that made $54m and quitting fame for normal job
AN actress who starred in a 00s film has barely aged in over two decades since the film was released.
Maritza Murray is now 44 but at just 22 years old she starred in The Hot Chick as ‘Ling Ling’.
The teen flick had a star cast including The Notebook star Rachel McAdams, Anna Faris, and comedian Rob Schneider.
The film also featured 90s and noughties icons Tia and Tamera Mowry as well as actor Matthew Lawrence.
The film follows Jessica Spencer (McAdams) as a mean spirited cheerleader who due to a freak incident switches bodies with incompetent criminal Clive Maxtone (Schneider).
When Jessica discovers the switch was caused by a pair of enchanted earrings she had stolen, one of which Clive ended up with, she then uses her group of teen friends to help get the earrings back together before the switch becomes permanent.
In the film, Maritza’s Ling Ling was a culturally confused friend with an awkward mom making things difficult for her.
She joined up with Jessica to help make sure the switch doesn’t stay permanent.
The film was released in December 2002 and performed well at the Box Office, generating $54.6 million in gross sales against its $34 million budget.
Maritza is no longer an actress and has instead switched her talents to real estate.
Over two decades on since The Hot Chick, and Maritza barely appears to have aged since her 22 year old film role.
