Black-ish [1] star Marsai Martin just made history. The 16-year-old actress is now the youngest executive producer [2] of a major Hollywood movie in history. You read that right. She's 16, and she's out here making movies (and starring in them). Whew. She technically earned the title at 14 [3] for her film Little, starring Insecure's Issa Rae and Girls Trip's Regina Hall, which hit cinemas in 2019.

The movie centers around a woman [4] named Jordan Sanders (Hall), whose callous behavior causes her to become cursed by a little girl. Jordan then turns back into her 13-year-old self (Martin), who must relive her childhood. In an interview with The Root, Martin confirmed that the movie [5] is inspired by Tom Hank's 1988 classic Big. "It was one of my most favourite films growing up," she said. "After the [season one] finale of Black-ish [6], we told Kenya Barris about it, and he called Will [Packer] and said: 'Yo, you know the girl who plays Diane on Black-ish [7]? She has this dope idea!'"

Martin couldn't contain her excitement during a video of her certificate presentation. "To be able to create a film [8], to star in it, being with your favourite stars, and actually seeing that entire experience was so amazing," she said. "It feels crazy, honestly. A world record? That's insane. Like the world, and then I hold the record. I could never have imagined to actually be a part of something like this." And we couldn't imagine a more deserving person for the record and can't wait to see what the world has in store for her.
