Get ready to do a double take as we dive into the world of Crossroads on Netflix! The iconic 2002 movie recently made its debut on the streaming giant, bringing the cross-country adventure of Britney Spears to a whole new generation! Directed by Tamra Davis and scripted by the talented Shonda Rhimes, this cinematic gem follows three Georgia girls on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and dreams.

For those eagle-eyed viewers watching the film on Netflix, you might have caught a glimpse of a familiar face – a young Britney Spears lookalike making a brief appearance. Well, if you’re scratching your head and wondering if somehow time travel was involved, we’ve got news for you! The film cleverly cast Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney’s younger sister, to portray young Lucy in those memorable scenes.
Born on April 4, 1991, in the charming town of McComb, Mississippi, Jamie Lynn Spears is not just your average Southern belle—she’s an American actress, singer, and reality TV sensation. Oh, and did we mention she’s the younger sis of none other than pop royalty Britney Spears? At 32 years young (as of February 2024), Jamie Lynn is well known throughout the industry.
Her showbiz career kicked off at a young age, and she’s been juggling acting, singing, and performing ever since. You might remember her as the lovable Zoey Brooks from the Nickelodeon hit series Zoey 101. Aside from gracing our screens, Jamie Lynn dipped her toe into the country music scene, dropping the soulful EP The Journey back in 2013.
