Would she have taken “the substance”?
Alyson Hannigan caused a stir with a TikTok ad revealing her in a gala dress, against a backdrop of Taylor Swift. A hell of a combo that should already delight fans of the American Pie saga, the legendary Buffy series, How I Met Your Mother, and naturally… The Swifties, of course, always loyal to the post.
In this short, widely commented video, the actress who haunted the youth of many spectators – she is clearly one of the most familiar female faces of the MTV era – reveals her physical transformations, from wardrobe to the other. And drives his fans crazy who exclaim: “Why isn’t she getting old?!”
The reactions follow one another and are similar, all stunned, to suggest something: Alyson Hannigan may have found the secret to eternal youth. Unless the public is a little too amazed to find “still so beautiful”, well, a fifty year old woman?
“Did she stop aging at 20 or 30?” : the crazy reactions of Alyson Hannigan fans (and a slight hint of ageism?)
On TikTok, the discreet but confident star of the 90s is shocking.
Anthology of reactions: “Is she really 50?”, “She stopped aging at 20 or 30?”, “She’s still as beautiful”, “She doesn’t actually change“… And the fans – of Buffy, American Pie, How I met your mother – still agree: “She really has the same face as in Buffy”, “Wait, but you look exactly like you did in American Pie”, “How do you still look so beautiful?“
-But yes, how?
While celebrities who have gone through the knife are regularly the subject of scathing attacks on social networks, accused of having a “devastated”, “destroyed” face, of being nothing more than a shadow of themselves – as if they were mainly reduced to their appearance – others escape this relentlessness.
But in unison, they see themselves equally assigned to their physique. Lots of nostalgia in the feedback generated by Alyson Hannigan, but also a touch of innuendo, such as: “it never ages… unlike others“. Another icon of the 90s, of which she is one of the great sex symbols, cannot attest to the same reception – and that's sad. Sarah's great friend Michelle Gellar at least carries with her a courageous task : highlight actresses aged 50 and over, despite ageism.
And through ageism, the exclusion of many of her sisters. Hannigan herself is much less present on screen, preferring to dedicate herself to her life as a mother and wife. But while American Pie first of the name celebrates its 25th anniversary (and not necessarily in the best way in terms of its most notable sequences, at a time when the sexist stereotype of the MILF has largely evolved), it would seem in all case that spectators are demanding the return of the actress more than ever.
A comeback that could follow that of Cameron Diaz?
