Julia Butters, who shot to fame aged 10 in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, was spotted on this week’s buzziest red carpet.<\/p>\n

In the 2019 Quentin Tarantino<\/a> film, she featured as a plucky child actress called\u00a0Trudi Fraser who works with Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>‘s has-been Western star Rick Dalton.<\/p>\n

She made an unforgettable impression, earning a shower of nominations from outfits like the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the\u00a0Hollywood Film Critics Association.<\/p>\n

Hopping from one legendary director to another, Julia then landed a supporting role in Steven Spielberg<\/a>‘s semiautobiographical 2022 movie The Fabelmans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now 16, Julia is part of the cast of the new Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday, and attended the film’s glittering Los Angles premiere this Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She posed at the iconic El Capitan Theater amid a cavalcade of famous faces, including the motion picture’s leads Lindsay Lohan<\/a> and Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a>, who respectively play Julia’s mother and grandmother.<\/p>\n

\"In <\/p>\n

In Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood, Julia Butters, then 10 years old, played a plucky child actress who works with Leonardo DiCaprio’s has-been Western star Rick Dalton\u00a0<\/p>\n

Julia comes from a showbiz family as the daughter of animator\u00a0Darrin Butters, who has worked on films like Frozen, Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph and Moana.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She herself started acting in commercials as a little girl before making her TV series debut with a guest shot on Criminal Minds in 2014, the year she turned five.<\/p>\n

Her first feature film was the 2016 action extravaganza 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, directed by Michael Bay and starring John Krasinski.<\/p>\n

Julia’s big break arrived shortly thereafter when Quentin Tarantino cast her in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood as a child actress on a TV Western.<\/p>\n

She has admitted that when she first showed up on set, she ‘didn’t know’ who Quentin was and ‘didn\u2019t know who anybody else was, either,’ up to and including her globally recognized co-stars Leo, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.<\/p>\n

Her mother Lorelei had to explain to her that ‘everyone here is famous,’ Julia shared in a Vanity Fair<\/a>\u00a0interview around the time of the film’s release.<\/p>\n

Audiences and critics alike were enchanted by her performance, as was Leo, who gushed publicly that Julia was like a young Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n

She joined her castmates on the awards show circuit and charmed fans by bringing a packed meal to the Oscars, which had a 70 percent plant-based dinner menu.<\/p>\n

\"Now <\/p>\n

Now 16, Julia is part of the cast of the new Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday, and attended the film’s glittering Hollywood premiere on Tuesday<\/p>\n

In the sequel, Lindsay’s character has a daughter and a stepdaughter-to-be, and the three of them – plus Jamie Lee’s character – wind up in a four-way body swap<\/p>\n

\"Julia\u00a0charmed <\/p>\n

Julia\u00a0charmed fans by bringing a packed meal to the 2020 Oscars, which had a 70 percent plant-based dinner menu, saying: ‘I don’t like some of the food here’<\/p>\n

‘I don’t like some of the food here,’ she remarked, by way of explaining the turkey sandwich she was carrying in her\u00a0$2,495 Marzook purse.<\/p>\n

In the intervening years, her roles have included a character based on Steven Spielberg’s sister Anne in the filmmaker’s 2022 picture The Fabelmans.<\/p>\n

Her career continued apace with a voice role last year on the Monsters, Inc. spin-off show Monsters at Work – and now with her star turn in Freakier Friday.<\/p>\n

Freaky Friday, which came out in 2003, was based on a novel by Mary Rodgers, the daughter of The Sound of Music and Oklahoma! composer Richard Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Jamie Lee and Lindsay starred respectively as a mother and daughter who switch bodies, enabling them to develop a greater understanding of each other.<\/p>\n

In the sequel, Lindsay’s character has a daughter and a stepdaughter-to-be, and the three of them – plus Jamie Lee’s character – wind up in a four-way body swap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Julia plays the daughter and Disney Channel actress Sophia Hammons plays the stepdaughter in Freakier Friday, which bows in theaters August 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Julia Butters, who shot to fame aged 10 in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, was spotted on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,100,134,18349,18350,18348,2017],"class_list":["post-17195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-leonardo-dicaprio","tag-quentin-tarantino","tag-the-fabelmans","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
