King grew up in the spotlight, first appearing in a Life Cerealcommercialwhen she was a kid.
Chances are, this Emmy-nominated actress has definitely been in something you’ve seen.
Here’s why Elle fromThe Kissing Boothlooks so familiar.
It’s a pretty big deal for any kid to score a role on such a kid-friendly connection.
“I got absolutely mobbed at the bowling alley,” she said during oneinterview.
She also happened to be cast alongside superstarSelena Gomez.
The two played sisters on screen, and they even brought their connection off screen as well.
Growing up on camera is no easy task either.
She also had a big problem with her character’s pet on set.
“I’m actually allergic to cats,” she admitted during aninterview with Brooke Lusk.
“It was hard.”
It’s no wonder her career has taken off since!
That same year, she appeared in the movieCrazy, Stupid, Love.
Starring alongside Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling, King seemed to be set for stardom.
She played Carrell’s young daughter Molly who is left to deal with her parents' divorce.
“I couldn’t hold it in.”
It didn’t help that comedic genius Carrell ad libbed a lot of his lines.
King had yet another actress to look up to in the film as well Emma Stone.
Online bullying is still something she has had to deal with as a celebrity.
“But then I realized how stupid and childish [the bullying] was.”
The successful actress has the last laugh now!
Director Christopher Nolan wanted her to shave her head for the role.
While most young girls wouldn’t want to lose their hair, King couldn’t wait.
“It was really freeing,” she admitted toClevver Movies.
“I took half the time in the shower.”
Shooting the superhero movie was quite an adventure for the young actress.
King even had to be held by a harness at extremely high heights to play out her scenes.
What kid wouldn’t?
“It’s so crazy to be a part of something so big,” she said.
“I was freaking out,” King said.
In 2013, the emerging teen actress appeared as Channing Tatum’s daughter Emily inWhite House Down.
The blockbuster cast consisted of big names such as Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
“I look up to those guys,” King toldClevver Movies.
As a common theme with her movies, King’s bond with Tatum went far beyond the screen.
“There’s dance moves, there’s belly bumps,” she explained.
She has every woman in the world jealous!
That year, she decided to tackle a dramatic role in the independent filmWish I Was Here.
It seemed like the perfect fit.
King played his daughter Grace, who is really just trying to figure out her place in the world.
This happened to include a drastic ‘do for the actress.
At 14 years old, King shaved her head for a second time.
However, this time, it was allcaptured on camera.
“It’s an amazing movie,” she toldYoung Hollywood.
“It’s a classic.
Lucky enough, in 2014, she received a role in theFargotelevision series on FX.
“We’re not trying to remakeFargo.
Her role onFargofurther led toJoey King’s stunning transformation.
“Sue Me” stars Joey King as one of the singer’s BFFs just like in real life.
“I’m totally going to sue her after we’re done,” King joked in a behind-the-scenesvideo.
“I think my favorite part is seeingThe KissingBoothfans really rally behind me forThe Act,” she toldRefinery29.
“I’m really excited for them to see me in a completely different light.”
The role once again required King to shave her head for the third time in her film career.
And I meant it.”
It’s a good thing she did.
The serious role made critics take her even more seriously, giving Kingher first-ever Emmy nomination.
The two sisters look pretty similar.
“It was our dream to be able to do something together,” Joey toldEntertainment Weekly.
It was something they had discussed often.
The Kings are quickly becoming on-screen queens.
