But wait, there's more!
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Addison's actor, Meg Donnelly, is actually older than her character. Born on July 25, 2000, Meg was 17 when they started filming Zombies, making her just a year older than Addison. But by the time Zombies 2 rolled around, Meg was 19, while Addison was still 17. Talk about a time warp!
And get this, Meg's even played a younger version of another character, Ashlyn Harris, in a different movie! It's like she's stuck in a perpetual youth loop. Spooky, right?

From cheerleading to zombie-slaying
Meg's not just a triple threat on screen, she's also a real-life multi-talent! She can sing, dance, and act. In fact, she started her career on Broadway, playing a young Eliza Hamilton in Hamilton. Talk about a big break!
But it's her role as Addison that's really captured our hearts. Who wouldn't love a cheerleader who can kick some serious zombie butt while keeping her squad in line?

So, how old is Addison really?
Well, in the world of Zombies, she's 16 in the first movie and 17 in the second. But in the real world, Addison's just a character, and her age doesn't really matter, does it? What's important is that she's a kick-ass heroine who's teaching us all to embrace our differences.
So, next time you're watching Zombies, remember, Addison might be 16, but Meg Donnelly is all grown up, slaying zombies and breaking barriers. Now, who's ready for a dance-off?
