The Spy Kids star looks unrecognizable two decades after the blockbuster

The Spy Kids movies were a must-watch for young adults growing up in the early 2000s.

In 2001, the first film followed two kids who became spies and had to save the world from an evil mastermind. The franchise quickly became a favorite among young people around the world.

But it has not returned for a new generation. ‘Spy Kids: Armageddon’ hit cinemas last month with an all-new cast – more than 10 years after the last film in 2011.

However, with all the original ‘Spy Kids’ now grown up, there is one child star from the original films who seems quite unknown today and is making headlines for different reasons.

Daryl Sabara, now 31, played the role of protagonist Juni Cortez in the movies when she was just nine years old.
