'13 Going on 30' star who played young Jenna celebrates 30th birthday with ode to the movie

• Christa B Allen posted a 5-part series on social media leading up to her birthday about turning 30.
• Allen played the 13-year-old version of Jennifer Garner's character in "13 Going on 30."

The actress that played the 13-year-old version of Jennifer Garner's character in "13 Going on 30" celebrated turning 30 with a series of videos that referenced the iconic rom-com.

Christa B Allen starred in the 2004 movie as the younger version of Jenna Rink, played by Garner, before she wishes to become 30. Fans have often praised how well this casting was as Allen gets older because Allen looks a lot like Garner.

In the days leading up to her 30th birthday on Thursday, Allen posted a series of videos on Tiktok titled "Vienna" about turning 30.

In the videos, Allen receives life advice from a 13-year-old version of herself played by Lana Fleischli. The miniseries makes references to Billy Joel's "Vienna," "Jerry Maguire" and "13 Going on 30" when Fleischli says "I want to be 30, flirty and thriving" - the iconic phrase from the movie.

Young Christa (Fleischli) also mocks the 2004 movie saying that it teaches young girls that they can only be "wildly successful and alone" or "get married, have kids and decorate some cheesy house." In the last video, posted on Allen's birthday, young Christa disappears after leaving Allen with the advice of "less doing, more being. Oh, and invest in crypto."

This is not the first time Allen has made references to her role in "13 Going on 30" on TikTok. She has posted videos wearing copies of two costumes from the movie - Allen's from the birthday party at the beginning of the movie and Jennifer Garner's Versace's Spring 2003 collection colorful dress that she wears during the "Thriller" dance scene.

Yesterday, Garner posted a video of Allen in the "Thriller" dress on her Instagram Stories with the caption: "Look who's 30! The OG Jenna Rink! Happy Birthday, @christaallen."

Ariana Grande was also sporting the "Thriller" dress outfit earlier this week on "The Voice."
