Hendrix, who plays villain Meredith Blake in the movie, has inspired people to question whether her character was really as bad as she seemed."The Parent Trap," which was released in 1998, sees Lindsay Lohan playing 11-year-old identical twins Annie and Hallie, who were separated at birth and each raised by one of their parents, meeting for the first time at a summer camp and then plotting to get their parents to reconcile.Hendrix played Meredith Blake, a glamorous woman engaged to the twins' father, a vineyard owner called Nick. Meredith is portrayed as the "villain" of the story who stands in the way of the family being reunited, even saying she wants to "ship those brats off to Switzerland" after the wedding.<div type="image" title="hallie and annie the parent trap" height="1260" width="2240" msid="93350322" hostid="261" sizebytes="89270"></div>On July 29, exactly 24 years after the movie premiered, Hendrix <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elaine4animals/video/7122979852914904366?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7127642013554361862">posted a TikTok video</a> referencing her character. It showed Hendrix opening a bottle of wine while "Easy On Me" by Adele played in the background. On-screen captions began, "He's a 10 but," referencing a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/hesa10but">popular meme</a> where people point out perceived shortcomings that make a potential romantic partner unappealing."He's a 10 but he had twins he secretly separated at birth when he broke up with their mother and didn't tell you about it until the twins discovered each other at camp and swapped places to try and get their parents back together," the text read.It went on to describe events depicted in the movie from Meredith's point of view, including the "pranks" Annie and Hallie played on her during a camping trip such as putting a lizard on her head and pushing her air mattress in the lake while she slept. Hendrix's video has received 1.6 million likes and 6.7 million views, making it one of the most popular she's ever posted.Several comments under the video were accompanied by the hashtag #justiceformeredithblake, with one person writing, "She was a successful woman who fell for a hot wine dad who lied about his family and was still in love with his ex."Other comments read, "Poor Meredith.

TikTokers are rethinking 'The Parent Trap' after the actor who played Meredith pointed out her character was not the villain

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Elaine Hendrix played Meredith Blake in the 1998 Disney remake of "The Parent Trap."</li><li>She recently went viral for a TikTok video that inspired people to think of Meredith in a new light.</li></ul>Two-and-a-half decades after the release of Disney's remake of <a href="https://www.insider.com/most-iconic-lines-from-the-parent-trap-2022-7">"The Parent Trap"</a> premiered, actor Elaine Hendrix is glad people are starting to see her character Meredith Blake in a different light.Hendrix <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktokers-parent-trap-villain-meredith-blake-elaine-hendrix-2022-8">recently went viral with a TikTok video</a>, which has received over seven million views, and inspired people to question whether Meredith was really the villain she was portrayed as in the movie.The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elaine4animals/video/7122979852914904366?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7127642013554361862">video showed Hendrix opening a bottle of wine</a> while on-screen text described the events in the movie from Meredith's point of view.Hendrix posted the TikTok on On July 29, exactly 24 years after the movie premiered, but she's had clear ideas about her character since the beginning."Meredith Blake isn't the villain, no way," Hendrix told Insider. "I always believed that." <h2>Hendrix understood her character from the very beginning</h2>In "The Parent Trap," Hendrix played a glamorous woman engaged to the father of 11-year-old identical twins Annie and Hallie, played by Lindsay Lohan, who were were separated at birth and each raised by one of their parents, meeting for the first time at a summer camp and then plotting to get their parents to reconcile.Meredith is portrayed as the villain of the story who stands in the way of the family being reunited.The actor noted that "by Disney standards," her character was a "foil," a device used in fiction where one character's traits are exaggerated in order to enhance another character's attributes. In this case, Meredith being portrayed as a villain would help a viewer root for the twins' parents to reconcile.But when she was preparing to play Meredith, Hendrix said she had to justify her behavior."I just simply put forth the story from Meredith's perspective. Everyone else is always saying that I'm trying to, you know, recast her as 'not the villain' and it's like, no, I just simply put forth what I built for her," she said.<h2>Hendrix thinks the shift in perception is down to generations who grew up with the movie</h2><div type="image" title="Elaine Hendrix as Meredith Blake" height="822" width="1728" msid="93543545" hostid="261" sizebytes="91906"></div>Hendrix thinks people are now seeing "The Parent Trap" differently because many who loved the movie growing up are now at a similar age to her character.She said, "The millennial generation were the ones who were like, 'No, I think we're going to rethink Meredith here. Because now that we are Meredith's age, we want to be her.'" <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/">According to the Pew Research Center definition</a>, the oldest millennials would have been approximately 17 years old when "The Parent Trap" came out, while the youngest millennials would have been only two years old.Hendrix believes fans of "The Parent Trap" now realize that Meredith was "just trying to get the bag, and had fabulous style while doing it," forcing them to change their perspectives.Hendrix feels like she is following the fans' lead when it comes to reevaluating Meredith's villainy because even though she never believed that Meredith was the villain, she let the viewers decide what they thought about her: "I'm glad people are agreeing with what I've known from the very beginning." "I love that people love Meredith Blake and love 'The Parent Trap' still. I've done over 150 individual TV and film productions and it's still by far one of my most favorites and certainly one of the ones I'm most recognized for," Hendrix said.When asked why she believes the movie continues to resonate with fans, she said, "It has spanned generations. It spans classes, it spans genders, race, everything, and this movie just seems to be beloved by everyone. And that, to me, is really really special."Hendrix has posted several videos honoring "The Parent Trap" and Meredith, but even on videos unrelated to them, she <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elaine4animals/video/7080723926027963690?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7127642013554361862">receives comments from fans saying "I love you Meredith!"</a> She told Insider that she "for sure" will do more videos relating to Meredith Blake, given it's what many of her followers want to see.<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>

Earlier this year, the song "<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/That's-Not-My-Name-6947700933694475014">That's Not My Name</a>" by The Ting Tings trended as actors including <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@drewbarrymore/video/7056818741497253166">Drew Barrymore</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@willsmith/video/7062035028708150574">Will Smith</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@victoriajustice/video/7055376940819090735?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7152849990439929350">Victoria Justice</a> used it to reference characters they've played over the years. As well as a general thirst for nostalgic content, Hendrix said that she thinks TikTokers love "The Parent Trap" because it speaks to so many universal things, such as divorce, sisterhood, and love."I think people gravitate towards that. Those themes of love and family, they're relevant to everyone. Plus, Meredith and the movie itself are so stylish and beautiful, so who wouldn't want to be her and live in that world?" she said. <h2>Like many celebrities, Hendrix has found TikTok allows her to interact with fans in new ways</h2><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elaine4animals/video/6992680557985484038?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7127642013554361862">Hendrix' first ever video posted in August 2021</a> featured her and her "Dynasty" co-star Sam Underwood doing a dance challenge.The video reached nearly one million views, and she realized that videos about her characters really seemed to resonate with viewers, so she was more than happy to keep posting content that would delight her fans. "I love interacting with my fans and I know they really love some of those characters that I've played so it's great to be able to make videos that I know they'll have fun with and enjoy," she told Insider. Hendrix also engages with TikTok as a user. She follows 125 people and told Insider her favorite videos are from comedic creators or those who discuss politics and provide social commentary."I love the diversity on Tiktok. Social media is kind of an equalizer, right?" she said. "You have people who wouldn't otherwise have a platform — they have a platform."<h2>Hendrix is still getting to grips with TikTok, and is looking forward to continuing to post content</h2>Hendrix told insider that she wishes she understood TikTok's tools a little better so that she could get more creative with her videos.In April, she <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elaine4animals/video/7090525204673219883">uploaded a video</a> where she lip-synced to an audio clip from "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion," while using a scene from the movie as a greenscreen. She said she had to research how to create the effects and isn't convinced she got it right. "It still doesn't sound like it comes through the app. There's got to be a better way, so there's still so much I've got to learn," she said.Despite some difficulties, Hendrix said she feels she's "kind of found a groove" with her TikTok videos and has no plans to stop posting."What I learned that I enjoy most is trying to figure it out and figure out how to make them personal, make them have my own little spin," she said.<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>

According to an analysis of new data from the UK's <keyword id="909698" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Higher-Education-Statistics-Agency">Higher Education Statistics Agency</keyword> (HESA) released on Wednesday, Indian student numbers in London grew by 34.7 per cent in 2018-19, marking the largest numbers since 2011-12. India's rise up one rank comes at the expense of Italy, which slips one place down to fourth, followed by France in fifth place - marking a promising rise of students from outside the European Union (EU) ahead of Brexit Day on Friday. "It marks an impressive period of growth for India, which returned to being London's third largest international student market after falling to fourth position three years earlier," said London and Partners, the Mayor of London's official promotional agency. "Applications may have been encouraged by the recent reintroduction of the two-year post-study visa for international students by the UK government, allowing overseas graduates a longer period of time to look for employment after their studies," it noted. The data reveals the total number of international students at London's universities in 2018-19 was 125,035, up 5.8 per cent from 2017-18 and a rise on last year's growth rate of 5.3 per cent. China remains London's largest international student market, with 25,650 students enrolled at universities in the UK capital. The US saw growth of 5.8 per cent to maintain its rank of second place with 7,460 students, followed by India at 7,158 students. The top five is completed with Italy at 5,625 students, down 1.2 per cent over the previous year, and France at 4,650, up 3.9 per cent. "I'm delighted to see so many young people from across the world choosing London to pursue their higher <keyword id="6355445" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="education">education</keyword>. In doing so, they're becoming part of a global community that has produced some of the world's most exciting and innovative companies," said Rajesh Agrawal, the Indian-origin Deputy Mayor of London. "With its world-leading universities, thriving business ecosystem and unrivalled cultural landscape, studying in London offers the opportunity to be part of a city at the forefront of creativity and innovation," he said. London and Partners also highlighted that the UK capital holds the crown as the world's best city for students, according to the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, by global education consultancy QS Quacquarelli Symonds. London beat international cities Tokyo (2nd) and Melbourne (3rd) to first place for the second consecutive year in July 2019. Lalage Clay, Director of Education and Talent at London &amp; Partners which runs Study London, said: "These new figures are a resounding endorsement of our world-leading universities and our great city. " "Whether it's fashion or financial economics, accountancy or art history, prospective international students know when they choose London, they are choosing a first-class education and a cultural experience like no other. We look forward to welcoming more international students to the capital this year," Clay said. Study London is the official international student guide to London run by London &amp; Partners to help overseas prospective students with information they need about London's universities and courses.

British universities have called on the government for a "new immigration policy" to encourage international students to choose the UK, after recent figures showed a "worrying decline" in the number of students from countries like India. Universities UK, the representative body for <keyword id="6375224" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="higher-education">higher education</keyword> institutions, expressed concerns this week over a "worrying decline" in the number of international students coming to Britain due to a perception of being unwelcome. It urged the British government to drop international students from its annual target of immigration cuts. "While the UK government continues to count international students as long-term migrants in its target to reduce migration, there is a continued pressure to reduce their numbers, adding to the perception that they are not welcome here," said Dame Julia <keyword id="4416372" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="goodfellow">Goodfellow</keyword>, President of Universities UK and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Kent. <div type="embedgroup"> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="58177182" title="Exclusive: Mahesh Murthy&amp;#39;s Unique Art of Survival- From Being a Vacuum Salesman to an Ace Investor" rank="1.0" kind="RELATED" publishDate="Apr 14, 2017, 11:04 AM" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div></div>
 "If the UK wants to remain a top destination for international students, we need a new immigration policy that encourages them to choose the UK," she said. In reference to the realities of <keyword id="6355333" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Brexit">Brexit</keyword>, she said: "As the UK prepares to exit the <keyword id="6355123" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="EU">EU</keyword>, it is more important than ever that we project a welcoming message to talented people from across the world." The most recent figures on international students in the UK showed a worrying decline in the number of new international enrolments over recent years, Goodfellow said. <div type="embedgroup"> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="58144238" title="Exclusive: Rajan Anandan, VP, Google India says that it is the Beginning of the Start-up Boom in India" rank="1.0" kind="RELATED" publishDate="Apr 12, 2017, 2:15 PM" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div></div>
 "At the same time, competitor countries such as the USA and <keyword id="6355478" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Australia">Australia</keyword> have seen increases. Both countries open their arms to international students and classify them as being non-permanent or temporary residents in their immigration systems." Her comments followed a new ComRes poll commissioned by Universities UK which found that nearly 73 per cent of the British public were in favour of international students coming to study in the UK. The poll released yesterday reveals that most members of the British public do not view international students as immigrants to the UK. The results show that only 26 per cent of the British public think of international students as immigrants when thinking about government immigration policy. <div type="embedgroup"> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="58062121" title="Exclusive: An Angel investor whose Midas touch with Crypto-currency is redefining the future of start-up investments" rank="1.0" kind="RELATED" publishDate="Apr 07, 2017, 5:30 PM" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div></div>
 Goodfellow added: "It is clear that the British public does not see international students as long-term migrants, but as valuable, temporary visitors. They come to the UK, study for a period, then the vast majority return home. "The UK could be doing much better than this. The UK has the potential to be one of the world's fastest growing destinations for international students, building on its current status as the second most popular destination for international students [after the US]." The public poll of over 4,000 adults conducted last month also found that 75 per cent of the British public agreed that international students should be able to work in the UK for a fixed period of time after they have graduated, seen as a major factor behind the drop in international student numbers in recent years.
