As someone who grew up watching 13 Going on 30 and has cherished this timeless rom-com for nearly two decades, it’s heartwarming to see that the bond between Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, and Mark Ruffalo remains as strong as ever. Their friendship transcends their characters and serves as a testament to the power of on-screen chemistry.
For two decades now, one of the most beloved romantic comedies ever made, “13 Going on 30”, has been delighting audiences, and it remains just as charming today. Luckily, this extended period has also brought about two decades of camaraderie among the cast, particularly Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, and Mark Ruffalo. If you’ve ever questioned whether they remain close friends, a heartwarming post by Garner on social media recently confirmed it. In her message, she and Greer extended warm birthday wishes to Ruffalo, filling our hearts with love for this extraordinary group of actors.
Fans’ favorite frenemies were recently featured together on Garner’s Instagram stories, as they celebrated the Avengers actor turning 57. In the video, Garner and Greer wish their leading man a very sweet happy birthday and followed that up with numerous air kisses and “We love you” declarations right before the video ends. What warms my heart is the fact that it was more than just a post or a throwback photo, it was a sincere, heartfelt message (and I can’t handle this right now, I’m already so emotional from the end of Arcane). Check out the post:
Twenty years on, this acting ensemble remains just as tight-knit off-screen as they were portrayed to be on. Greer and Garner share a bond stronger than their characters, with the Yes Day actress consistently sending birthday wishes to her on-screen rival. The reunion for Mark Ruffalo’s birthday was heartwarming, and it seemed to bring all the emotions out in him. Seeing them together definitely brought a smile to my face, and that joy wasn’t just for me!
Regarding the stars of “Foxcatcher” and “Deadpool & Wolverine,” they continue to be close friends to this day, even collaborating on a project a few years ago. Their portrayal of Adam’s parents in Ryan Reynolds’ “The Adam Project” once again demonstrated their impressive on-screen chemistry as actors.
As a gamer, I’ve got to admit – the chemistry between Matty and Jenna in 13 Going on 30 was unmatched, and it played a huge role in the film’s success. Just like Big took the concept of wishing for something more and made it relevant for a new era, so did 13 Going on 30. And let’s not forget about that legendary “Thriller” scene – the dress, the flash mob… iconic! But Ariana Grande didn’t reference Michael Jackson’s Thriller in her “Thank You, Next” video because of that. Nope, she picked it because Matty and Jenna’s story became the blueprint for modern friends-to-lovers rom-coms. I’m just grateful Mark Ruffalo stuck with the movie despite the Michael Jackson classic!
Reflecting on it now, the movie’s idea and message remain relevant even today. Oh, how I wish I could peek into my own future to understand what truly matters in the long run. And let me tell you, as a child, all I ever yearned for was to grow up faster. As an adult, I can’t help but miss those simpler days. It wouldn’t shock me if some of the teens who watched this movie in 2004 are now experiencing that realization, including the actress who played young Jenna, all grown up and over 30.
I’m eagerly anticipating another collaboration from this threesome in a sequel, as I’m curious about what life holds for Jenna and Matty at the moment. Maybe they even have a teenager now… Until that happens, I’ll savor their heartfelt birthday tribute to Mark Ruffalo on social media. In the meantime, enjoy Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer’s rendition of “Rom-Com Ruffalo” and Jenna Rink’s antics all over again by streaming “13 Going on 30” with a Prime subscription.
