All you really have to do is remember iCarly and you’ll likely know who Jennette McCurdy is, if you didn’t already. If you did then you already understand just how popular she really is and how much of an influence she’s had on pop culture throughout the years. She’s done quite a bit in her career to impress the right people and has been something of an icon that people have looked up to, kids in particular. Throughout the years she’s even diversified as she’s taken on new projects and proven that she’s not just bound to one aspect of show business. Jennette has shown many people what she can do and has been seen to be someone that might be kind of nice and even appreciative of what she receives, but it’s also been noticed that she’s been kind of critical of show business and the place of the people that exist within it.
Here are a few things about Jennette you might not have known.
10. There’s a rumor about how Star Wars did or didn’t get her interested in acting.
It sounds as though the rumor got started when her mother was recovering from breast cancer and Jennette had a chance to watch the movie A New Hope. Later on she had the chance to put things straight in an interview and claimed that this wasn’t the case.
9. She started out on MADTv and showed up in a few different TV shows.
Before she made her way to the lead role in iCarly she did manage to show her face on a few different shows that allowed her the kind of exposure she would eventually need to make a big splash in show business.
8. Jennette has been a writer throughout the years as well.
As if being a talented actor wasn’t enough she’s also been a columnist and has written several posts for a couple of different publications on various subjects that have been well-received and therefore continued to bolster her reputation.
7. Her struggles with bulimia and anorexia started when she was 11.
A lot of this has to do with the fact that she found it necessary to keep a trim figure when on TV, as she’s stated that it seems so important for so many to do this. Unfortunately she has lost a tooth thanks to constant regurgitation and was even found passed out in a friend’s bathroom at one point.
6. As you might imagine she has a massive following on social media.
Jennette has millions of followers on social media and it’s kind of easy to think that a lot of them are those that have been following her career since iCarly if not before. While the show kind of came and went, her reputation has lasted longer and has been seen to carry her forward so far.
5. She’s known to love ice skating.
Jennette likes to go figure skating as a hobby and has even entered a few competitions in the past. Just when you think her set of skills and accomplishments is fully known she’s able to show something that makes her just a little more unique.
4. She has directed her own short films.
It’s easy to see that she doesn’t like to be anything other than spectacular since thinking about all the things she’s done and still does is kind of hard to imagine since it would seem that she doesn’t really sit still all that often. There’s just so much that she seems to like to do that trying to find any time that she just sits and does nothing is hard to do.
3. Jennette admits that she tends to get stressed out easily.
Just because a person is in show business, has been, or is still gaining a reputation, it doesn’t matter. A lot of them still get nervous and anxious at times, they’re human after all and tend to get stressed now and again no matter how poised they might seem.
2. Her net worth is around $5 million.
It’s been said that she’s earned her net worth and there’s not a lot of argument that could say otherwise since as you can see above she’s been working pretty hard to make it known that she’s the kind of person that will get out there and get things done.
1. She’s pretty tight-lipped about her private life.
This is becoming more and more of a thing throughout the years as celebrities tend to want their own time now and again. You can’t blame them really since anything that hits the tabloids has a very big risk of becoming something that should have been left as nothing. Being quiet about their private lives makes the paparazzi a little bolder in their attempts to get a story, but it’s still important for celebs to have a private life.
She’s done quite a bit to earn her reputation.
