10 Actors You Had No Idea Were In Movies

2. Brie Larson - 13 Going on 30

Here's one that'll melt your brain just a little bit. Much-loved fantasy-comedy 13 Going on 30 follows a 13-year-old girl, Jenna Rink, whose wish to become the 30-year-old version of herself (Jennifer Garner) is magically granted.

Before the transformation occurs, though, we see Jenna be tormented by her high school's commanding clique, the Six Chicks, and if you keep an eye on the members of the group, you just might spot a young future Oscar winner in the mix.

Among the clan is a 13-year-old Brie Larson, credited simply as "Six Chick," who while only getting a single line of dialogue, does appear extensively in the film's pre-Jennifer Garner prologue.

This revelation proved quite the surprise to the film's male lead and Larson's Marvel Cinematic Universe co-star Mark Ruffalo, who only learned that a young Larson was in the movie when a journalist told him at the Avengers: Endgame premiere in 2019, much to his amusement.
