SHE was the blonde beauty that was catapulted into the spotlight after a starring role in this iconic 1989 movie.

The beloved Disney film was a box office success that would go on to span another two spin-offs, with fans lapping up the characters’ pint-sized adventures.

Now all grown up, aged 54, the star recently took to Instagram and wowed with with some fun swimsuit photos while celebrating the film decades later.

Amy O’Neill was just 19 when she played the role of Amy Szalinski in the hit film Honey, I Shrunk The Kids – but her new pics show she seemingly hasn’t aged at all.

Amy stepped out for the Disney+ ‘Dive in Theatre’ screening of the original movie in a blue and pink racer swimsuit, ready to soak up the attractions on offer.

The former child star looked incredibly youthful and svelte in her swimwear, which she complemented with a wide wicker hat and a patterned blue beach skirt.

In her Instagram caption, shared alongside the pictures, Amy enthused that the experience “transported us back to a different time and size”.

In one photo Amy is seen posing with a giant spoon and some giant ‘cheerios’ in a swimming pool, in what was a cheeky nod to her shrunken sized character.

The star later lounged poolside with her fellow movie-goers to rewatch the beloved movie and was snapped standing next to an old-school film screening sign bearing “Honey I Shrunk the Kids 1989 Now Showing”.

Talking to ABC’s On the Red carpet, Amy said: “This whole thing, when I saw the concept and got the invite I thought it was super cool.

“It’s been 36 years since Honey, I Shrunk the Kids came out.

“It’s only in the last couple of years that I’ve done fan events and I’ve gotten the chance to reconnect with fans and see how vibrant the movie still is in their lives and how meaningful it is to so many people.

Amy was also joined by co-star Thomas Wilson Brown, 51, who played Little Russ in the film, the neighbour’s offspring.

On her Instagram post, fans flocked to the comments, with one asking, “How was it reuniting with Thomas?”

Replying to her follower, Amy explained, “Wonderful as always. He brought his grandson to the screening- so adorable!”

While another said, “Just amazing! A shame the other child actors are absent!”

Amy replied, “I wish they’d been there also- but I wish all of you had been there too!”

A third fan penned, “Wow, that Thomas guy grew up to be a hottie!!”

Another added, “Another of my favourite classic comedy of 80s, everything looks great.”

“Nice pictures Amy O’Neill and Thomas Wilson Brown and you’re looking well by being grown up,” said a fifth in the comments.

Someone concluded, “Very cool. Still one of the best movies of the 80s.”

The award-winning classic movie, starring Rick Moranis and Marcia Strassman, celebrated its 36th anniversary this year.

Amy played Moranis’ daughter in the movie, which produced two sequels, Honey, I Blew Up The Kid in 1992 and Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves in 1997.

The original followed the chaos that ensued when scientist Wayne Szalinksi (Moranis) accidentally minimised his children and the neighbour’s kids.

Ghostbusters star Moranis went on to star in Parenthood, The Flintstones and the two sequels to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

She also appeared in the 1989 Christian Slater film Desperate for Love.

Luke Littler won his first match as world number one to progress at the Players Championship Finals, while Gian van Veen produced a second stunning comeback victory against Luke Humphries in the space of a month.

Less than a month after upsetting Humphries in the final of the European Championship, Van Veen fought back from three legs down to defeat the defending champion 6-5 in Minehead.

Humphries flew out of the traps with checkouts of 145, 40 and 83, but Van Veen came roaring back with finishes of 161 and 81 on bullseye.

The former world number one steadied himself before losing throw at 4-4, before two Van Veen misses allowed Humphries to set up a deciding leg.

Van Veen’s hard work looked to be in vain as he missed five match darts, but Humphries was equally wasteful and fell to a fourth consecutive loss to the Dutchman.

It has not been the best month for Humphries, who earlier this month surrendered his world number one crown to Littler when he lost to ‘The Nuke’ in the Grand Slam of Darts final.

Meanwhile, Littler breezed into the second round with a 6-1 victory against Jeffrey de Graaf.

After being introduced to the crowd as world number one for the first time in his career, Littler averaged 104.46 to continue his hunt for a first Players Championship title.

“It felt absolutely amazing, probably one of the best feelings I’ve had, to be world champion and world number one at the same time – but there is more to come,” Littler told ITV Sport.

“This is the title I haven’t won yet. Last year I came up short against Luke Humphries so I want to tick this one off.”

The 18-year-old will face Ross Smith in the second round after the Englishman saw off Ryan Meikle 6-1.

Top seed Gerwyn Price was not at his best against Max Hopp – missing six darts when trying to take a 5-2 lead – but the German failed to capitalise and Price won 6-2.

Stephen Bunting notched a routine 6-2 victory over Ritchie Edhouse, before Nathan Aspinall dispatched Karel Sedlacek 6-3.

Four-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld limped out with a 6-3 defeat by Krzysztof Ratajski.

Rob Cross, Dave Chisnall and Jonny Clayton were all beaten in the afternoon session, with James Hurrell defeating former finalist Clayton with a 99.2 average.

World number six James Wade progressed with a comfortable 6-3 win over Mickey Mansell.

NOEL Edmonds left fans stunned when he reunited with Cliff Richard – and revealed their combined age. 

The TV presenter was over-the-moon to see singer Cliff in Wellington, New Zealand and the pals couldn’t resist a few jokes. 

Ageless Noel, 76, took to Instagram to share a clip of them together and told him: “At last, I get to see you again after all these years.”

Cliff, 85, joked: “I know… it’s been too long. I mean, there’s a hundred years separating us.”

Laughing, former Deal or No Deal host Noel replied: “It was 25 years ago that you were on my Christmas Day show and you’ve done wonderful, kind things for me ever since, over the years. 

“So I wanted to come and say thank you. But I then started to do some mathematics – and we have a combined age of 161.”

And Cliff quipped: “Oh my goodness me, I didn’t know that you were older than me!”

The two stars then broke out into song, treating Noel’s followers to a rendition of Cliff’s hit The Young Ones. 

Rushing to comment, one fan wrote: “Lovely to see you both having fun.” 

Someone else said: “Love this! Two legends.”

Another fan wrote: “Awwww, that was sweet. Yet another reminder to us all that the years fly by in the blink of an eye.”

And a fourth added: “Noel never seems to age.” 

Earlier this year Noel revealed plans to split his time between New Zealand and the UK after buying a home on the Isle of Man.

Noel dubbed the island “the Smile of Man” because “everyone seems so happy” and people “look out for each other”.

It comes after ITV axed his Kiwi Adventure series, which aired in June and followed his life in New Zealand with his fifth wife, Liz.

Noel, who moved there in 2018, had reportedly hoped the three-parter would become a fixture on the channel, but it failed to be a ratings hit.

MILLIE Bobby Brown looked incredible at the Stranger Things premiere in London in a showstopping black corset dress.

The actress, 21, who plays character Eleven on the hit series, attended the event alongside her fellow cast members including Sadie Sink and Natalie Dyer.

With its fifth and final season set to air on Netflix in just two weeks time, the cast reunited once again to celebrate ahead of the release.

Millie looked sensational in a dramatic lingerie-esque ensemble, consisting of a sheer corset and a black mini skirt with a flowing train of tuelle.

She paired the perfectly over-the-top piece with simple stockings and a pair of dark shiny stilletos.

As Millie strutted across the carpet in front of the Stranger Things promo poster, she eyed up the camera and adjusted her free-flowing brunette hair.

Her diamond droplet earrings tied the whole look together, as her only other accessory.

Meanwhile Sadie donned a gorgeous cream satin number, falling all the way to the floor.

Her waved auburn locks cascaded over her chest to where silver bead detailing framed the bust of the dress, as well as a sexy midriff cut-out.

Natalie also didn’t fail to look absolutely fabulous, oozing Hollywood glamour despite being all the way across the world in Britain.

She rocked a breathtaking pale lilac gown with a feathered trim, as her golden blonde hair flowed like honey down each shoulder.

But David Harbour was nowhere to be seen.

David has been a core member of the Stranger Things cast since it first aired in 2016.

Starring in the role of Jim Hopper, often referred to as Sheriff Hopper, he’s one of the series’ most beloved personalities, loved for his complex character arc.

It comes after Lily has been spotted out and about in London.

Just yesterday, the Smile hitmaker looked incredible in a see-through dress at the Hunger Games premiere.

STRANGE REUNION

Just last week Millie and David put on an overly affectionate display at the Stranger Things season five premiere in Los Angeles after it emerged he had been accused of bullying her.

Millie was bizarrely seen hugging her co-star, putting her hands on his shoulders and seemingly sharing a private joke.

The pair, who play father and daughter on the hit Netflix show, seemed to be at pain to show there was no animosity between them at the star-studded event at Los Angeles’ TCL Chinese Theatre.

It comes amid reports that Millie previously complained about her long-time castmate.

According to the Daily Mail, Millie is said to have reported David to Stranger Things show bosses, complaining about his behaviour while filming the fifth and final season.

The 21-year-old’s complaint included allegations of “harassment and bullying”.

While Netflix chose not to respond to the Daily Mail’s claims, at the premiere, the show’s co-creator Ross Duffer addressed these reports.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: “Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal on-set matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them. 

” So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy.”

The unnamed source alleged that David’s ex Lily Allen “supported” him “throughout it all” and “it was a brutal time.”

LILY’S HEARTBREAK

Stranger Things star David got married to singer Lily, 40 in Las Vegas in 2020 before moving from London to the US.

However, in December friends confirmed they had split after living “separate lives” for months.

The Smile singer allegedly found his “secret profile” on a dating app.

David has found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, after Lily dropped ‘revenge’ album West End Girl last month.

On the album, Lily appeared to accuse her ex of having an affair with a woman named Madeline, as mentioned in songs Tennis and Madeline.

On the track Tennis, Lily sings: “So I read your text, and now I regret it.

“I can’t get my head round how you’ve been playing tennis. If it was just sex I wouldn’t be jealous

“You won’t play with me and who the f*** is Madeline?”

Writing on social media, one fan said: “Madeline – the Becky with the Good Hair of West End Girl – doesn’t escape unscathed.”

Another said: “Lily Allen dropping a whole song confronting the other woman named Madeline.”

And, referencing Dolly Parton’s iconic hit, a third added: “We got Jolene, Becky with the Good Hair and now Madeline.”

David is still yet to address the claims made on the album but has previously mentioned “slip-ups” he’s made in recent years.

The Netflix star said in an interview: “I would change either everything or nothing.

“It’s kind of like a house of cards, the minute you try to change one thing you kind of have to change it all.”

LILY Allen looked incredible as she ditched her bra in a see-through dress at the Hunger Games premiere.

It comes after Lily, 40, released her ‘revenge’ album, West End Girl last month and on the record, she appeared to accuse her ex David Harbour of having an affair with a woman she calls Madeline.

Looking better than ever, Lily stepped out in a black crochet style dress which exposed her underwear.

The Smile hitmaker wore her hair in a chic updo and finished her look with flawless makeup.

She was joined by other celebrity faces on the red carpet for The Hunger Games: On Stage The Global Stage Premiere at the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre.

A NEPO baby daughter of a Hollywood legend looked stunning in her racy TikTok video, as she stripped down to a corset and stockings.

The rising star, 25, is following in her dad’s footsteps into the world of film – but can you guess who her famous father is?

Did you guess the nepo baby in question is Hollywood director Martin Scorsese’s daughter Francesca?

The 25-year-old is the iconic filmmaker’s youngest daughter, who he had when he was 56 with his third wife Helen Morris.

The 82-year-old director also has two other daughters, Cathy, 58, and Domenica, 49, from his previous marriages.

Francesca is known for her sexy TikToks and recently shared one of herself strutting through the streets in a yellow corset, that she was almost bursting out of.

She finished off her eye-popping look with sexy stockings.

Francesca, who has previously revealed “grew up on film sets”, graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, which is also her father’s college.

Following in her dad’s film director footsteps, she released her own picture, Fish Out of Water, in June 2023.

She has also flexed her acting chops and played Britney Orton in HBO‘s We Are Who We Are and appeared in several of her dad’s movies including The Departed, The Aviator and Boardwalk Empire.

Speaking about her famous father’s influence on her career, Francesca said: “He is the best teacher, guide, just overall mentor.

“Also, he’s literally my best friend. I tell him everything.”

Martin also previously reflected on his relationship with his youngest daughter.

Speaking to SiriusXM last year, the director said that after he met his now-wife Helen, they were “gifted with this pregnancy.”

“It was extraordinary and by that point, I was 56 and it was a different perspective on life,” he told host James Corden.

“It suddenly became the most important thing, her and this little one that was coming.

“We didn’t know whether it was a girl or boy and then in the middle of the night, five weeks early.”

Reflecting on being a dad, now he is getting older, he added: “I’m 80 now, so you only have a certain amount of time left.

“That time has got to mean something.”

ZARA McDermott looked incredible as she showed off outfit for ‘date night’ with Louis Tomlinson in Los Angeles.

The Love Island alum, 28, shared a duo of snaps on Instagram from her GRWM process, showing off her simple yet stunning outfit.

Zara opted to wear a pair of high waisted denim jeans with embroidered navy patterns on each knee.

She finished off the outfit with a plain black tank top that hugs her waist to perfection.

Her beauty spoke for itself as she posed for two mirror selfies, in one fully facing the mirror and in the other using a hand to playfully touch her hair.

Zara elevated the look with a soft glam makeup look featuring a natural pink overlined lip, clean brows, and a flick of eyeliner.

Her freshly styled hair falls down her shoulders in a gorgeous balayage of blonde and brown tones.

“date night vibes, ft my new jeans,” Zara penned in the caption.

The star loves a good casual-come-cute outfit, as shown in her other Insta posts, and fans adored this one just as much as any other.

“Oh wow, glowingggg girly,” gushed one user in her post’s comment’s section.

Others followed suit, adding: “Gorgeous,” “Where are you jeans from!!!,” “I hope you and Louis have fun on your date.”

Zara and Louis, 33, were first seen out together back in March of this year, though it wasn’t clear whether the pair were dating.

It was only in July that Zara and Louis made their relationship public, where Louis posted a subtle pic of them handing out.

Zara hardlaunched the romance on Instagram the following month though by posting a snap of them kissing.

The pair have kept a relatively low profile, though last month Louis couldn’t help but gush about his stunning girl on Steven Bartlett‘s The Diary of a CEO podcast, hinting at how much she’s inspired his new music.

“I’m a deeply, deeply romantic person,” began the musician.

“It’s easy to be romantic when you are a creative… [but] I really struggle to write in a fictional sense, I really struggle.

“For me, I have to have been living it, it has to be real to me.

“So, if I wasn’t feeling so good, like right now, I wasn’t feeling so in love… the record probably would have a slightly different feel to it.”

Before sparking up romance with Louis, Zara dated Made in Chelsea star, Sam Thompson.

The former flames dated for five tumultuous years before calling it quits in 2024.

Whereas Louis last girlfriend was Danish model Sofie Nyvang who he dated for a couple of months at the beginning of 2023.

The model previously spoke about her nepo baby status, saying: “I won’t deny the privilege that I have.

“Even if it’s just the fact that I have a really great source of information and someone to give me great advice, that alone I feel very fortunate for.

“But I also have met amazing people through my mom whom I now get to work with.”

Earlier this year Kaia announced her split from actor Austin Butler after three years.

According to reports, the pair’s relationship had “ran its course”, with them ending things on good terms and having “no bad blood”.

Sources told TMZ that the couple ended their romantic relationship at the end of 2024, with them stepping into 2025 as single people.

But despite the couple splitting, they have kept things on good terms with there being “no bad blood” between them.

The outlet reports: “The relationship just simply ran its course after a good three years together”.
