Keisha Castle-Hughes, the Oscar-nominated star of Whale Rider, made waves last year when she announced that she was pregnant at the age of 16, by her boyfriend of three years, who was 19 at the time. Castle-Hughes gave birth to Felicity-Amore in New Zealand on Wednesday. Both mother and baby are doing well.
Castle-Hughes talked recently about the controversy surrounding her young pregnancy in an interview with Television New Zealand. “I felt like I had to hide,” she said. “I felt like it was bad for me to be happy about it.”
The young actress also made quite a splash at age 13, when she was the youngest person ever nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for her role in 2002’s Whale Rider. Dakota Fanning, darling, you’re slacking. You need an Oscar nod and a boyfriend stat.
It’s too bad there was even a controversy. Young moms are and can be wonderful–not all act like Britney Spears– I’ve no doubt Keisha will be a wonderful mom.
Uh….statutory rape anyone??
yeah it’s fine and good to say she’ll be a good mom — but come on — she’s tossing YEARS of fucking off and being a kid down the drain. blah.
Did any of you see the nip slip pictures of her on trailerparc.com, I guess because she’s underage they are under investigation….serves em right
Uh… no, pickle. The age of consent in NZ is 16.
ummm shes really young, shes my age actually good luck to her anyway
hola , eres hemosa , bien por ti , eres genial , sigue asi y me seguiras quitando los sueños , bay
Dakota Fanning is fine just the way she is. She does not need the drama this girl has
