If you cast your mind back to 2008, it's undoubtable that Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging was the defining film of its time for many.

Catapulting the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Eleanor Tomlinson and Georgia Henshaw into the spotlight whilst also proving to be another hit from Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha, the film is a welcome bout of nostalgia for any millennial.
When chatting to Radio Times for the release of her upcoming series, The Fortune, Tomlinson revealed that she has positive memories of her stint as Jas in the film.
She said: "I look back so fondly on it. And interestingly, only last week I met up with Georgia Henshaw, who plays Rosie, and we've not seen each other for 18 years. We met up and it was like no time had passed at all. It was unbelievable."

She went on: "But I think you know, when you're working, when you're that young, what you don't see behind the scenes is your mums or the chaperones, or the fact that you have to be tutored. There's a whole family around you that you bring with you, so you don't meet, as you would an adult, on your own and get to know each other on your own.
"You're so informed by your mum's relationship with her mum… but our mums came too, and it was just great."
When thinking about the movie itself, Tomlinson also said: "It was really, really special. It’s just very special and it was wonderful to be a part of. And, you know, I hope they do a sequel and see us all now as old, haggard people – that would be brilliant."
A sequel getting the gang back together more than 17 years after the original movie would be the stuff of plenty of fans' dreams but alas, it's something to leave to the powers that be for now.

Of course, Aaron Taylor-Johnson played the role of Robbie in the film, but has since gone on to star in films like Nosferatu, 28 Years Later and Kraven the Hunter.
When asked whether she's still in touch with Johnson at all, Tomlinson told Radio Times: "I’m not, no. Aaron and I first worked together on The Illusionist so we go way, way back! He was actually my first ever kiss – which was on screen, I hasten to add – which was so sweet. I just remember being absolutely terrified.
"But yeah, I mean, obviously he's gone on to just – he’s a mega star, and it's amazing. I'm sure if we bumped into each other, I'm sure it would be absolutely fine as it is. It's just our paths haven't crossed again. But who knows, maybe they will."
