Mia Talerico age: How old is the Good Luck Charlie star?
Many people will shocked to find that that Good Luck Charlie actress Mia Talerico is now 13-years-old.
Mia Talerico began her career when she was just eleven months old after being cast as baby Charlie on Disney Channel’s Good Luck Charlie.
But what is it like to grow up on screen? Let’s find out.
Mia Talerico age:
Mia Talerico was born September 17, 2008 in Santa Barbara, California and is currently 13-years-old.
Mia marks a major milestone for Disney as she is currently the youngest person to be in a main cast on Disney Channel.
She was born to parents Chris and Claire Talerico who are both now in their mid 30s.
The family are currently living in Santa Barbara.
Mia Talerico in Good Luck Charlie:
Mia Talerico was cast for the main role of Charlie Duncan in Good Luck Charlie after the show’s producers were unsuccessful at finding twins to play the role.
It looks like she handled the role well all on her own as she has been a star ever since!
Charlotte “Charlie” Duncan is the fourth child of the Duncan family.
She was originally the baby of the family, until it was announced in Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas! that her mother Amy is pregnant again with a new baby.
Mia’s life behind the scenes:
Mia is popular both on screen and on social media, currently boasting 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
Starring in a big show from such a young age is sure to have had a profound effect on Mia.
However, it seems Mia also had a big effect on the show.
Phil Baker, the co-creator of the show, once said that show runners would actually speak to Mia’s mom to find out what she does and like.
Producers would then incorporate these into their stories.
Mia is now a very active teenager and regularly posts pics and videos on Instagram of her trying out new activities and going on hikes.
She is has also been active on Tiktok since October, posting clips of her doing all sorts of activities.
From taking part in the latest trends to swinging and flipping from a trapeze she has become quite the Tiktok star.
Very brave!
Latest roles:
Mia is still acting and has had a couple of short film roles since the show ended.
She also joined BRAT TV internet series Mani from 2018 to 2020 , where she played Paige Rogge.
Despite being on screen since she was a baby, Mia is still very much enjoying acting.
She previously told fans: “I had so much fun filming and am excited for everyone to see Watch on @brat.”
She has also appeared in episodes of the TV series Jessie and Conrad and in a couple of shorts, including Shadow Theory and Photographic Memory.
Her first TV movie was of course Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!
Mia Talerico also crossed over into a couple of other kid’s shows while she was in Good Luck Charlie.
These include the TV series So Random! and Jojo’s Juice.
She appeared on the TV specials Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2013 and 2014 and Radio Disney Music Awards in 2014.
Relationship with on-screen family:
Growing up on screen means Mia Talerico still has a pretty good relationship with her on-screen family.
She is known to have attended the wedding of Bridgit Mendler who played her big sister Teddy Duncan in the show.
Bridgit married her longtime boyfriend Griffin Cleverly in October 2019, and many of her former Disney co-stars attended.
Mia was on the guest list ready to support her much loved co-star alongside Disney’s Leigh-Allyn Baker, Jason Dolley, Bradley and Steven Perry.
At the time Bridgit posted: “Still riding the high of the weekend. Thank you to everyone for the abundance of love that you showered on griff and I. We are so excited for this new chapter!”
Good Luck Charlie reunion:
In May 2020 Mia reunited with her co-stars once again in a virtual reunion with Entertainment Tonight.
Then 11-years-old, Mia recalled her time on the show as she should could!
She laughed: “I probably had a really easy role ’cause I just got told most of my lines or didn’t have any. I think it was really easy because most of the time, it was what happened. We just rolled with it, like, in the crawling scene, I just stood up so we just went with it.”
Even her co-stars were shocked at just how grown up the young star had become.
Steven Perry who played Gabe Duncan on the show said: “Yeah, this is a trip right now! We have never done an interview with Mia and had a full conversation like this. This is bizarre!”
