Then and Now: Top Hollywood Crushes From Your Teenage Days (5 of 6)

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff charmed her way into our hearts in the early 2000s as the lovable Lizzie McGuire. Her infectious smile and relatable charm made her a teenage sensation.

In 2023, Duff is every bit the thriving actress, singer, and author that made her famous in the first place. With a successful career in television, including Younger, and a dedicated fan base, she’s proven that she’s more than just a former teen idol—she’s a multifaceted talent who continues to shine brightly in the entertainment world.

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere was a child star in the 1990s, appearing in soap operas and films such as One Life to Live and Remember the Titans. She rose to fame in the 2000s thanks to her roles in the superhero series Heroes and the country music drama Nashville.

Today, Panettiere is still a successful actress, but she’s also taken a step back from the spotlight to focus on her mental health and her family. She’s a mother to a young daughter, and she’s been open about her struggles with postpartum depression and addiction.
