Prepare to have your minds blown, people, because Bella Thorne turned 23 years old on Thursday, October 8. Yep, she was only 13 years old when she first stepped into the spotlight and appeared in the show Shake It Up, which means it’s almost been a whole decade since the Disney Channel series first premiered! That’s right, the hilarious show aired its first episode on November 7, 2010, and we cannot believe how fast time has flown.
For those who forgot, it also starred Zendaya, David Cleveland, Roshon Fegan, Adam Irigoyen, Caroline Sunshine, Kenton Duty and more. It was about a pair of best friends — CeCe and Rocky — who landed roles as backup dancers on a show called — you guessed it — Shake It Up. It went on for three seasons before it came to an end on November 10, 2013, and when it concluded, everyone was so sad to see it go.
But wait, what are the stars of the show doing these days, you ask? In honor of Thorne’s birthday, we decided to check in on them all, and boy, have they changed a lot over the years. Here’s what they’re all up to now…
