Former child star Abigail Breslin left her 'Signs' director M Night Shyamalan stunned by how much she had changed during a run-in last year after he failed to recognise the teen actress.
Breslin was cast in the sci-fi thriller when she was just five. Although the now 17-year-old claims to have "no recollection" of shooting the 2002 release, she does remember meeting Shyamalan - and she decided to stop by and say hello when she spotted him at a popular Los Angeles venue, reported New York Post online.
"I actually saw M Night Shyamalan at the Soho House in LA when I was filming last year. I went up to him and I said, 'Hey, it's Abby!' And he was like, 'Abby?' I was like, 'Abby, Abigail Breslin.' And he was just completely shocked, like, 'What the hell?'" Breslin said.
The 'Little Miss Sunshine' star admits she wasn't completely surprised by Shyamalan's reaction - because a lot of people have been commenting on how much she has matured ever since she became a teenager.
"For the past four years, since I was 13, every single article that has come out, it's, 'Abigail Breslin is all grown up!'. I always joke with my friends (about it). Every time they see me, they always say, 'Oh my God, you're all grown up'," she said.
