‘Scary Movie’: What happened to the main actors 24 years after its release?

After the success of the 1996 film “Scream” in the genre of horror films, no one imagined that its film parody, “Scary Movie”, from 2000, would be so successful that it ended up being a five-film saga.

24 years after the premiere of the first film, we tell you what happened to the main characters who took part in it and how they are now big stars.

This is how the actors of ‘Scary Movie’ changed

Anna Faris

The actress played the role of Cindy Campbell and thanks to this she won a place in Hollywood. Starting with ‘Scary Movie’, Faris landed roles in other films such as ‘This Body Is Not My’, ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘The House of Bunny’, among many others. In addition, he has lent his voice to characters in animated films and series such as ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Hamburgers’, ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘King of the Hill’.

Today she is 47 years old, she is an established star and was married for 9 years to Chris Pratt, which made her even more famous. However, after his divorce in 2018, she is now married to director Michael Barrett and hosts a successful podcast called ‘Unqualified’.

Marlon Wayans

Believe it or not, the actor, in addition to starring in ‘Scary Movie’ as Shorty, also co-wrote the story. Along with his partner Anna, he devoted himself to exploiting his talent in the comedy genre with films such as ‘And Where Are the Blondes?’, ‘Little Man’, ‘Fifty Shades of Darkness’ and ‘Norbit’, among others.

At 51, the African-American actor is seeking to stop being pigeonholed as “the goofy guy in funny movies” and has sought out more serious film roles. In fact, his last appearance on screen was in the movie “Air”, which tells the story of the birth of the famous Air Jordan tennis model.

Carmen Electra

Her career began in the world of music, but she became famous in the late 90s for her appearance in “Guadianes de a Bahía” and her amazing beauty. After her appearance in ‘Scary Movie’, Elektra continued to be active in the entertainment industry, appearing in comedy films and modeling. His last job as an actor was to appear in the movie ‘Good Burger 2’ in 2023.

John Abrams

The actor who played Bobby Prinze made his film debut in the controversial 1995 film “Kids” and although his name became famous thanks to “Scary Movie”, he did not appear again in any of the sequels of said film. However, it did not mean the end of his career, as he appeared in shows such as ‘Law and Order SVU’, ‘Hawaii 5.0′, Criminal Minds’ or Clover’.

At 46, he continues to play, but his career has not proved as fruitful as that of his peers.

Regina Hall
