THEN AND NOW: The cast of 'Hairspray' 13 years later

  • "Hairspray" hit theaters in July 2007.
  • The musical film starred Nikki Blonsky (Tracy Turnblad), John Travolta (Edna Turnblad), and Zac Efron (Link Larkin).
  • Travolta has done a mix of TV and film roles in the years since, on dramas like "The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story."
  • Efron was already an A-lister when he landed his role in "Hairspray," but he's continued acting and currently stars on an unscripted travel show for Netflix called "Down to Earth With Zac Efron."

"Hairspray" was released in theaters in July 2007.

The film was based on a 1988 movie of the same name, which led to a Tony-winning Broadway show in the 2000s (also titled "Hairspray).

The 2007 remake starred Nikki Blonsky, a then-unknown actress, as Tracy Turnblad and featured a star-studded cast that included John Travolta, Zac Efron, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Here's what the cast has been up to since the movie came out 13 years ago.
