She’s All That co-stars, Rachael Leigh Cook and Freddie Prinze Jr , reunited 25 years after the hit rom-com first aired – and everyone is saying the same thing. The 1999 coming-of-age drama follows high school jock Zack Siler (Freddie) who makes it his mission to transform school nerd Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) into a prom queen so he can rehabilitate his own image after getting dumped by his cheerleader girlfriend. The film’s success speaks for itself, reaching number one at the box office the week of its release and ultimately grossing $103million (£80million) worldwide.
What’s more, Sixpence None the Richer’s song Kiss Me featured on the soundtrack and shot up to number two on the Billboard’s Hot 100. Years later, Rachael, 44, and Freddie, 48, have joined forces once more after they both attended the LA premiere for the Scooby Doo star’s new thriller, The Girl in The Pool.

She also met up with fellow 90s icon, and Freddie’s wife, Sarah Michelle Geller . As fans rejoiced at the unexpected get-together, many quickly pointed out that Rachael looked as though she hadn’t aged a day since she first filmed the classic romance.
‘How did she age backwards???’ @t.meezy commented under a photo of the duo. ‘Is Rachel-Leigh 23??? What is going onnnnn’ @realityops echoed.

co/nJuOebyLWE She hasnât aged a bit. She’s still so gorgeous In 2021, the actress and model returned to the She’s All That universe in the less-popular, gender-swapped, remake He’s All That in which she plays mum Anna Sawyer to Addison Rae’s Padgett. Since her days in teen romcoms,Rachael has become a familiar face in Hallmark movies.
She most recently starred in Rescuing Christmas, her ninth festive film for the well-known brand. She opened up about the direction she decided to take her career in an interview with the New York Post last year. ‘I’m picky about what I do, in the sense that I prefer really positive content.
In terms of my viewing preferences, I love trash reality TV, and a good drama,’ she told the publication . She explained that she has never been ‘drawn to stuff that’s especially dark or scary’ and instead prefers ‘uplifting content’. ‘So [my work with Hallmark] felt like a natural extension of what’s honest to me,’ she concluded.
Elsewhere, the mum-of-two chatted about her joy at still being recognised for her early roles in not only She’s All That but also Josie and the Pussycats which she starred in opposite Tara Reid. ‘My vanity is always thrilled to be recognizable as the same human I was 18 years ago, not gonna lie, that feels pretty good! I feel lucky that Netflix and Hallmark have kept me in the dialogue, as it were.’ In an interview with The Independent a few years ago, The Baby-Sitters Club star reflected on her looks and compared herself to other 90s stars.
