Taylor Momsen has been involved in show business since she was 2 years old. She started as a model, taking part in photo shoots and advertisements. At the age of 6, she started acting, and her debut was a role in the thriller “The Prophet’s Riddle” by David Worth.
She was 7 years old when she starred alongside Jim Carrey. The role in this film was a breakthrough for her
Without a doubt, one of the most memorable roles in her artistic achievements is the cult Christmas film directed by Ron Howard, which was released in cinemas in December 2000. Momsen then played the role of the charming Cindy Lou Who, who tried to do everything to dissuade the title mischief-maker (played by Jim Carrey) from his plan to kidnap Santa Claus. Thus, she wanted to make him realize what the magic of Christmas is. The humorous family production quickly became a phenomenon that continues to this day, and the young actress became an audience favorite. However, fame had not only its upsides, but also its downsides, as she discovered right after returning to school.
Her peers teased her because of her role in “The Grinch.” Is that why she abandoned her career?
The actress recently gave an interview to Penn Badgley, who played her brother in the series “Gossip Girl”. She opened up about her memories of her role in “The Grinch”. She admitted that the opportunity to appear alongside her was both an opportunity and a curse. The reason was her peers who constantly made fun of her, mainly because of her peculiar makeup. – The Grinch changed my life in many ways, one of which was the fact that the kids laughed at me mercilessly. Every time I started a new school or moved somewhere else, (…) I was just “the girl from ‘The Grinch’,” she recalled. Over time, she began to get used to the label given to her in her environment. Even though he personally doesn’t have many good memories from that period, he still considers the film worth watching. – The core of this story is uplifting and carries a very good message – she said.
Her childhood experiences certainly influenced her adult career. Momsen appeared in several more productions on the big screen, including: in “Little Agents 2: Dream Island” or “Shiloh in Trouble”. She later made a splash in Gossip Girl, playing the put-together Jenny Humphrey. Ultimately, she abandoned acting in favor of music and shed her polite image. She then founded the band The Pretty Reckless, with which she released her debut album.
