It’s been 15 years since “The House Bunny” hit theaters, and Anna Faris taught us all that standing over a manhole is hot, and ordering just one mahi is an option.
The film released in 2008 and, you might remember, had a pretty stacked cast. So, let’s look back on where they’re at these days, after their time in the Zeta house.
And, if you’re looking for an extra dose of nostalgia, you can watch the original trailer for “The House Bunny” here.
Anna Faris — By the time “The House Bunny” came around, Anna Faris was a rising comedy star, having had hits like the “Scary Movie” franchise and “The Hot Chick.” In 2020, she exited her hit CBS series “Mom” and these days, is doing a lot of voiceover work.
Colin Hanks — Yes, it’s easy to forget, but Tom Hanks’ son Colin was the adorkable love interest for Anna Faris’ Shelley in “The House Bunny.” He most recently starred in Peacock’s “A Friend of the Family” and Paramount+’s “The Offer.”
Emma Stone — Before there was “Easy A” or “The Amazing Spider-Man” or “La La Land,” Emma Stone was the nerdy Natalie in “The House Bunny.” Now, of course, she’s an Oscar winner and gearing up to return as the villainous Cruella de Vil in Disney’s sequel to “Cruella” and reunite with “The Favourite” filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos on his next film.
Kat Dennings — In “The House Bunny,” Kat Dennings’s character Mona was none to pleased to welcome Shelley to the house. In 2022, Dennings returned to the MCU as Darcy in “Thor: Love and Thunder,” coming off of Hulu’s series “Dollface.”
Rumer Willis — The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Rumer Willis played Joanne in “The House Bunny.” Her character fractured her spine but, when it healed, was too afraid to take off her back brace. Willis starred in 2020’s hit “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and is currently expecting her first child.
Katharine McPhee — Katharine McPhee’s “House Bunny” character was exactly the shining beacon of practicing safe sex, but she was a delight. She made her Broadway debut in 2018’s “Waitress.” In 2023, McPhee is married to David Foster, and the pair sings together. They wrapped up 2022 by performing at Disney’s Christmas special in Walt Disney World.
Kiely Williams — At the time of “The House Bunny,” Kiely Williams was well known for her singing abilities, both in 3LW and The Cheetah Girls. She largely retired from acting in 2013, but maintains a close friendship with her fellow Cheetah Girl, Sabrina Bryan.
Tyson Ritter — Emma Stone felt for Tyson Ritter in “The House Bunny,” marking the singer’s first acting role not playing himself or in a music video. These days, he’s still the lead singer of The All-American Rejects.
Beverly D’Angelo — Every movie needs a villain, and in “The House Bunny,” that was Beverly D’Angelo. She was by the books, and wanted to destroy Zeta. D’Angelo most recently starred alongside David Harbour in “Violent Night,” the surprise Christmas hit of 2022.
Hugh Hefner — Obviously, it’s impossible to make a movie about a Playboy bunny — even a fictional one — without Hugh Hefner. The Playboy founder appeared as himself in the movie. He died in 2017.
