The Teletubbies have been a huge part of our childhoods, with many remembering the adorable face of the happy Sun baby that brightened everyone's days.
The actress' face was emblazoned as the Teletubbies sun in the late 1990s, and of course, she looks worlds away almost 20 years later.
Jess Smith was the cute shining Sun we all recall from our childhoods, but our dear memories will be rocked once the Teletubbies make a comeback with an all-new cast.
Netflix recently announced the surprise reboot of the iconic children's show, with it returning to the streaming service on November 14.
It had previously aired on the BBC from 1997 until 2001 before it had another run on CBeebies from 2015 to 2018.
There will be a format switch-up as well as a new narrator, Tituss Burgess.
In pictures shared by Netflix, the new Sun baby is just as adorable but has a full head of hair.
The original Sun, Jess, is now in her mid-to-late twenties. How time flies when you're a blazing star!
The star played the giggling Sun Baby for four years between the years of 1997 and 2001.
The child star also previously revealed that she was actually cast in the role when she was being weighed in hospital.
At the time, producers let the tiny baby sit in front of a mirror and a camera while she watched her dad play with toys.
Luckily, the sweet moment made baby Jess laugh so much that she was instantly cast in the coveted BBC role.

Speaking to BBC South East about landing the role, Jess explained in 2017: "I was being weighed at the hospital.
"My mum took me and it just happened to be the same time that the producer of the old series had come in and wanted the hospital to get in contact with them if they'd seen any smiley babies."
Jess even appeared on Big Breakfast a few weeks ago and explained how they got the younger her to laugh.
She said: “While recording my dad held a teddy bear behind the camera to get me to laugh, and rolled a toy racing car to get me to look down at the camera, and it obviously worked.”
Fans were shocked at how much she changed and took to social media to post about their shock.
“Omg,” one user wrote while another added: "Blimey eh-oh."
