She was the cute girl on "The Gifted," playing the young teen mutant Twist. Then last summer she signed on to star on a show with the unfortunate title "Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters," then I said, "Wait a minute. A 14-year-old actress should not be in a show about teenage sexuality." For both legal reasons and creative reasons, teens in media are typically played by actors several years older. I Googled her age. Said she's 14. Couldn't believe she was 13 when "The Gifted" was filming; she was...tall. If she was 13, I had some things to think about.
Then I checked out her Instagram page, and there were several photos of her hanging out with her boyfriend, who's clearly in his 20s. I at first thought that she had very bad parents. Then I did some deeper Googling.
According to an article in Playbill, she was 11 in December of 2005. (http://www.playbill.com/article/pint-size-pros). Her Backstage page (https://www.backstage.com/u/anjelicabettefellini/) lists her age range as 18-29, which is very unusual for a 14-year-old girl.
For some reason, Google thinks that she was born in 2004. Maybe she has been perpetuating the story that she is almost a decade younger as a way of securing more teen girl roles. She also never tagged her boyfriend, adding credibility that she's concealing her true age or her boyfriend is a sex offender.
But she was probably born in 1994, December 1993 at the earliest. And she's about 25 today.
"Looks like this story has taken a...twist," I said, and I put on my sunglasses.
