Noughties teen TV star, 41, is ageing backwards twenty years after role in iconic superhero show
ONE noughties teen TV star, 41, is ageing backwards twenty years after her role in an iconic superhero show.
Kristin Kreuk is best known for her role as Lana Lang in the Superman inspired TV series.
The series shows the coming-of-age adventures of Clark Kent – the civilian persona of Superman of the DC Comics franchise.
It depicts his adventures in the fictional town of Smallville in Kansas before he takes up the role of the Man of Steel.
Kristin, 41, played the role of Lana Lang, his original love interest in the series as things got complicated between the pair.
She starred in the series from the very beginning of it’s inception back in 2001.
The actress left the series in 2009 as her last episode was broadcast in February.
The last series chose to focus instead of Clark’s years as a young adult and his career alongside Lois Lane at the Daily Planet.
But today, the star seems to have completely retained her youthful looks as she regularly takes to her social media.
She still sports her signature long brunette locks as she previously teased a huge new project.
Taking to Instagram with an album of stunning shots she wrote: “I am about to start a new acting job. So my life is a lot busier than it typically is.
“It’s a funny time in the life of a TV series bc I am building a character but also dealing with logistics and meeting new people and feeling the uncertainty of what set will be like.
“It is never like this again on any particular show. And I admit, I am happy to have this part end and the daily work begin.
“But I am trying to live this beginning in a slightly different way.”
Aside from her role in Smallville, she also is well-known for playing Catherine Chandler in Beauty and The Beast.
She was in the CW sci-fi series from 2012 untill 2016, before joining the cast of the legal series Burden of Truth two years later.
In the CBC drama, she played the role of Joanna Hanley until the show came to an end after fourth series in 2021.
The star has also had a significant movie career, her most recent feature-length production being Space Milkshake.
Here, she starred alongside the likes of Star Trek legend and former I’m A Celebrity star George Takei.
She also appeared in the comedy film EuroTrip in 2004 alongside Academy Award winner Matt Damon.
