Nikki Reed's First Appearance on Ellen

The first time Nikki Reed was on a talk show was right here on Ellen! Check out a very young Nikki Reed making her talk show debut during our first season in 2003.

[@Bloodyheroesandlegends]

15 year old? OMG she's so talented, wrote a whole freaking movie based on her life when she was thirteen and then starred in it and OMG - why does people hate her? I love you Nikki

[@paulineallard7107]

+MillyBlack95 The people who hate her critic her without even know her because they love Nian and they hate Nikki because now she's with Ian.. But Nikki is an amazing woman,my idol

[@paulineallard7107]

Ho no don't worry,you're not the only one and I can't stand Nikki's haters.. They are pathetic.. Nikki is an amazing person with a great personnality and she's beautiful! :) Did you see Thirteen by the way? :)

[@paulineallard7107]

Agree!!Some people also say she's a bad actress but are they serious?? She's amazing,I'm sure they didn't see everything..

[@paulineallard7107]

and did you know Thirteen was about her real life when she was a teenager? Some people say she was only a slut using drugs...It's nasty... She's strong and inspiring

[@Babygirl_fay]

pauline allard ikr they don't even know her they just mad because she's married to Ian idk why

[@kimoralashai692]

Thirteen really should be a bigger movie it’s so amazing and it gives amazing lessons

[@ginamarie7244]

She was so well spoken and intelligent for being only 15!

[@aliaali6421]

I’m also 15

[@juulesisoffline]

I'm questioning if she ever had an awkward middle school phase... yeah probably not

[@inconito5611]

the movie is based on her story

[@latoyatv2030]

Love your profile pic

[@aliaali6421]

I’m actually 15 just sayin

[@PotatoWaffle-sl4xf]

Nah but she wrote the movie based off of her experiences at the ages of 12-13 so she was having a very hard time during that period in her life all the some

[@rontom7344]

Wow, Ellen's first season has a very strong 90's talk show look to it. Its changed a lot since then.

[@Mano-pv5dx]

15? omg she looks so mature

[@MickeyMouse016]

She was so young. Shes so pretty

[@SheffieldLover]

Thirteen is an amazing movie because it's so realistic. Can't believe she was a better actress with 15 than today. Still love her.

[@blondebtqueen]

She's 15 in this.... whaaat. She looks SO much older.

[@onlyy.mimiii953]

righttt

[@nottelling998]

She didn't age, like seriously. You'll see some people that say that a certain celebrity didn't age, when we all know deep down they did, but Nikki is seriously like a vampire. 15 here and 28 now. Don't even get me started on her voice. It sounds identical. Nikki must be a vampire. 🙊😲

Actually she's older now and she looks way different

[@ch0lita623]

I remember another interview she did where she said something like.. While Tracy (Nikki's on-screen version of herself) turned out fine, she really doesn't know if Evie did or not- doesn't know if she's happy or okay or whatever (even though Evie is a composite character based on several different people that Nikki knew).. I can honestly say that I was best friends with an "Evie" - we'd known each other and were best friends since before Kindergarten. She had a pretty rough home life (alcoholic mom, asshole dad, she was often stuck watching after her little brother and twin sisters after her older sister moved out and more often than not charged with doing all of the cooking and cleaning on top of that... Even had to drive us home when we were 14/15 from a couple of places because her mom was too drunk to get behind the wheel.. And many other things like that), got into drugs (even though I was the first of our group to start smoking weed- age 12- thanks to my older brother), was considered one of the "hot girls" and lost her virginity at like 13 and only "dated" older dudes (like 17+).. We were a wild bunch, even though I was the Ugly Duckling in the group and never delved into the promiscuity aspect... Anyway. My Evie didn't make it. Her childhood & teenage problems followed her into adulthood- the drug abuse got worse, in and out of jail, largely unable to take care of her kids (she wound up having like 4 or 5 or something). We lost touch and hadn't been close in a long time. The few times I tried to reach out to her and reconnect, I got no response except for maybe once or twice. My Evie committed suicide this past October. I'm still heartbroken over it. "Thirteen" is one of my all time favorite movies. It's eerie how much it echoes that same time frame in my life, even though- like I said- I was already best friends with my Evie and our group of "wild, hot jailbait". I was definitely a Tracy, minus the cutting and dropping acid and stuff. And I never really got any attention from "hot" older guys. Again, I was the Ugly Duckling in the group heh.

[@alyssawhitaker4271]

Cher Whorowitz i am sorry for your loss. hope you are doing okay. may her soul rest in peace. ❤️

[@lola-ri3du]

that’s heartbreaking. i’m so sorry for your loss. RIP

[@magica4679]

People saying how she doesn’t look 15. Have you ever seen highschool girls in the 50’s-70’s? They look super mature too.

[@jessicanicole3747]

Mahpiya mni Iron Shield true a lot of People are saying she looks 25 especially guys these days will act dumb and not look for the obvious signs her baby voice and the way she talks you can tell she hasn’t been in the adult world yet she acts to innocent 😂

[@godsandmonsters4601]

I can't believe how beautiful Nikki was at only age 15, when I was 15 I looked like a potato (still do tbh)

[@becka8907]

I love how confident she is in her wrong answers lol I'd believe it.

[@LaurenCameronMusic]

why does nikki look exactly the same 10 years later. woow, she's gorg.. and thirteen is one of my favorite movies

[@taylorehrhard4746]

I was 13 when thirteen came out. I really like how Nikki Reed wrote a story about her life.

[@aprilmarie6105]

back in the day if you had piercings at 13 it was cool now if you got tattoos its considered cool...times changed a lot of my cousins and friends at thirteen or either tatted or prego

[@ooyo8253]

Um tatted or PREGNANT at 13 fucking years old?!? its not like I haven't seen or been around these fast ass little boys and girls that are teenagers but pregnant at 13 is just sick. They are children who are not mature or responsible enough to have sex and definitely not to be parents. If they were then more of them would have got themselves on birth control or used a condom. I myself was pretty mature for my age due to all the things I went thru in my childhood and having to take care of myself, siblings and addict alcoholic mother so I got on birth control at 15 when I got my first 'serious' boyfriend (who was 25 btw, im disgusted now with the fact that a grown man would fraternize with a young teen girl) but if the kids cant even make a solid attempt to use contraceptives then they truly are retarded. They should be no where near anyone's genitals besides their own. And if these children aren't smart or selfless enough to terminate the pregnancy then I really fear for this generation. We have enough issues in this country with the vanishing of the middle class due to the incredible amount of income inequality with the largest wealth gap in the world, among other socioeconomic factors that my generation and the next one of the kids your talking about will have to endure that our parents, grandparents and great grandparents didn't have to deal with. Right now is the worst time to be having teen unplanned pregnancies!!! But of course these pre teens and teens wouldnt know that because 98% of kids that age have no clue about the political climate, status of the economy and the predictions of the future. Hell im 25 and growing up I thought id have at least 1 kid by now, at a job that made decent money and owning or close to owning my own home. Those things used to be possible for the average 25 year old but not anymore despite working a lot of hours and my ass off. I have to choose not to have kids, possibly ever, its one of the only things we have control over at this time to affect the trajectory of our lives and to not bring an innocent being into the world to suffer.

[@FM897]

I feel so guilty and skeevy admitting that I found her hotter when she was younger. I rationalize it by reminding myself that I've been crushing on her since I saw her in Thirteen, and I'm her age, so it's not that bad, right? She just had so much charisma for someone so young, and one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard.

[@maybewise]

FM897 Lol. You must not have seen, or heard her lately then. She looks just about exactly the same, and is just as funny in interviews. She just had a naturally mature face, and grew into it. It'd make more sense if you're saying that you USED to find her hot, and be more interested than you are now, as opposed to saying that you currently think that she was hotter as a kid, than she is now.

[@jaxyhale]
