Talerico marked the start of the 2024–2025 school year recently with an Instagram post featuring a couple of pics of the 15-year-old posing with a chalkboard that reads “First Day of 10th Grade” in colorful lettering.

And if that doesn’t make you feel old, try this: Talerico, who was just 10 months old whenGood Luck Charliestarted filming, will be driving soon! The actress is about to turn 16 on Sept. 17.

Talerico, of course, played the titular Charlie, the youngest member of the close-knit Duncan family, in the series, which aired for four seasons on the Disney Channel from 2010 to 2014. The show revolved around the family’s hijinks, with each episode featuring oldest daughter Teddy (Bridgit Mendler) recording a video diary with advice for Talerico’s Charlie.

“I probably had a really easy role ‘cause I just got told most of my lines or didn’t have any," Talerico, who was 11 at the time, said. “I think it was really easy because most of the time, it was what happened. We just rolled with it, like, in the crawling scene, I just stood up so we just went with it.”
