Peter Pan star Rachel Hurd-Wood is unrecognisable 19 years on from playing Wendy Darling
ACTRESS Rachel Hurd-Wood now looks a world away from her character in 2003 adventure fantasy film Peter Pan. In the uplifting and visually stunning flick, English actress Rachel played Wendy, the caring eldest child of the Darling clan. Wendy captured the heart of Peter Pan, portrayed by American actor Jeremy Sumpter, and acted as a surrogate mother to the Lost Boys and her younger brothers. Wendy was renowned for her angelic face framed by shoulder-length curls or Pippi Longstocking-style pigtails and bows. And the youngster would usually be seen decked out in some drab cardie or other, or even a frumpy white nightie - later adorned with leaves in Neverland. Cut to 2022 and a 31-year-old Rachel has come a long way since her Peter Pan days, now flaunting long golden tresses and an awesome sense of style.
