Spy Kids -Fans shocked to learn the real age of iconic actress from film

It is 24 years since Spy Kids was released, but they are still surprising fans – with some who now realized that one actress was only in the twenties when she played a mother for Pre -Teeners.

Carla Gugino, now 53, played Ingrid Cortez, a retired office of Strategic Services Agent who became a consultant employee and mother of Kids June and Carmen (played Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega) in the film.

Although the age of Ingrid is not revealed in the film, her children are nine and 11 years old, and Antonio Banderaswho played her husband was 38.

However, Carla was only 27 when she was cast in the film.

“So what’s strange is that when I played Ingrid Cortez at Spy Kids, I was 27 years old, not those bananas,” said the Sin City star in a recent interview with a recent interview with B&C.

“I should have been 10 years older for that part, we let everyone believe,” she joked.

Carla added that it was ‘incredible’ to see the lifespan of the film, which expanded into a franchise with several films.

“But it was incredible to see that generation after generation just loves that film – it is something timeless about it, and I think it’s great because the children are being the heroes,” she said passionately.

The actress added: ‘The parents are cool, they are not like the kind of Fuddy-Duddy [old school] – There is something very innovative about it and I think something is very timeless that is super cool. ‘

But Carla was perhaps a bit too ‘cool’, with shocked fans of the film in disbelief that she was so young in the role.

“She looked older than 27 Tho Lol, worked well,” someone else noticed.
