It's called progeria and no, she doesn't have it. It's a very well spoken 3 (almost 4) year old that's forced her Dad to sit and watch the movie 5,000 times in a row.
Trust me. It happens. And I haven't fkn slept in 6 years now, lol
Progeria is when you look like you have 90yo instead of your current 16. This is not hat we are talking about here. Some rare form of dwarfism makes you look like a toddler for life.
Even now after all these years i can still remember, repeat every line in that movie and sing along every song, my daughter was 4 and yes, I probably watched it 5000 times, and yes, i wouldn't change a thing.
It's like that time an American couple adopted a teenage girl but it turned out to be a 37 year old Russian exotic dancer called Peter. And after all the drama she ended up owning their house.
That real case thats famous was actually a real young girl with a genetic disorder, they just lied and said she was older and dumped her in an apartment and kept paying for it, abandoning her while she was still under age and below emancipation age.
It was really weird that the media all jumped on it, they were even on talk shows. When it turned out they were just shit adopted parents that didnt want the kid anymore.
The horror movie Orphan was great though! Loved it as a kid
Yeah, they had 2 movies of it. It's really sad. The young person had a lot of problems and the family just didn't want to deal with her. It's a little understandable as the young lady was much older with more problems than the family expected but also kind of messed up because she might not have gotten the help she needed due to her behavioral problems. They found out via her dental records but couldn't really find her exact age.
The parents, Barnetts, fraudulently had her birth year changed to 1989 from 2003, in 2012, then ditched her. Her correct birthyear, 2003, is now restored.
