You might remember her from the 2006 film Hoot or as Molly, Jonah Hill’s love interest in 21 Jump Street but most recently she appears alongside Mark Wahlberg in The Gambler (watch the trailer here).
Born as Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers, the 25-year-old actress has already made a name for herself in Hollywood. Starting at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1992, as a sketch performer, Larson has been involved in various roles touching every genre on the spectrum. Though most of her acting career has been debuted on television, Larson has bagged a fair few big screen roles and continues to prove herself as an upcoming feature film star.
Aside from acting, Larson also sings – she has one studio-recorded album with Universal Records under her belt and went on tour with Jesse McCartney in 2005. A little while ago, there was word that an EP was in the works and that more music should be expected but we haven’t seen it yet. Maybe she’s too busy landing huge roles in film?
PS: She’s also in 13 Going On 30 – during a movie night at home, see if you can spot her brief cameo!
See The Gambler in UK cinemas as of the 23rd January.
