For Hilary Duff, it is obvious that the bosses of Disney were "freaked out" by realizing the direction that the reboot of
Lizzie McGuire
was going to take .
Indeed, the return of the heroine had been announced in 2019, to be finally canceled shortly after the launch of production.
A deep disappointment for the actress who now believes that the executives of the entertainment giant were not ready to accept the idea of a more mature version of the character.
“She had to be 30 years old and do thirty-something things.
She didn't need to smoke a bong or have one-night stands all the time, but it had to be genuine.
I think they were scared,” she said in an interview with
Women's Health
magazine .
A bad for a good
But since then, things have turned out pretty well for Hilary Duff, who landed the starring role in
How I Met Your Father
, the spin-off of
How I Met Your Mother
, the first season of which arrived on Disney+.
A role in which she blossoms completely, she who loves to embody characters with whom we can identify.
“It would be stupid of me not to admit that I have a thing for playing the girl you can identify with… I'm that kind of girl.
It was a conscious choice not to agonize over trying to change people's opinion of who I am… That doesn't mean I didn't want to try!
“, she continued.
