Hannah Spearritt: Cody's "Mini" Bond Girl
Mar 11, 2004 - Lynn Barker
22-year-old Hannah Spearritt, a tiny, adorable blonde, was a huge hit for five years as part of S Club 7, eventually S Club; a Brit pop group that once ruled the charts. T.V. shows, a film, etc. further launched Hannah and her bandmates into superstardom. Then, nine months ago, it all ended... but not for this blonde dynamo. Hannah, now solo, is moving into film, her first love, with Cody Banks 2: Destination London, the "Cody" sequel in which she co-stars with Frankie Muniz.
Hannah, sans make-up, looked about twelve when we met with her at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills last week. In white tee, sweat pants and an Anaheim Angels baseball cap, the singer/actress bounced into our interview room and comfortably slouched in a chair, twisting her bracelets as she talked. Spearritt has that Paul McCartney English accent that always makes fans swoon but, anxious for an acting career, she's working on losing it so that she can play a wide range of characters.
TeenHollywood: You're wearing an Anaheim Angels cap. Are you a baseball fan?
Hannah: Well yeah. I bought this cap. And I was trying to ask the lady in the shop what I was buying. It was this little Chinese lady and she was like 'I don't know. I don't know what it is', so I said 'okay, 'I'll get it anyway because I like the hat'. Are they a good team? [We indicate yes] Oh, good, so I'm not embarrassing myself.
