Carla Gugino Filmed ‘Spy Kids’ at 27 Years Old and Says Her Casting as a Mom Was ‘Physically Totally Impossible’: ‘I Was 10 Years Too Young for the Role’
Carla Cugino says playing a mom in "Spy Kids" was physically impossible as she was just 27 years old when she shot the movie.
Carla Gugino recently told BuzzFeed that her beloved role in Robert Rodriguez’s 2001 family action film “ Spy Kids ” was “physically totally impossible.” The actor was 27 years old when she filmed the movie and played Ingrid Cortes, the mother of two spies. Gugino starred in “Spy Kids” opposite Antonio Banderas, Alexa PenaVega and Daryl Sabara. Antonio Banderas and I had worked together on a movie called ‘Miami Rhapsody’ that David Frankel directed, so we also had a little bit of a history, which was really nice to come into it that way.”
