In 10 Years People Are Going To Forget These Things
It’s officially been 20 years today since rom-com classic The Wedding Planner came out.
So in honor of the film’s anniversary, I have compiled a list of all the actors then and now!
1.
Jennifer Lopez as Mary

At age 51, J.Lo is still killing the game. In 2019, she generated Oscar buzz after an amazing performance in Hustlers, and in 2020, she performed with Shakira at the Super Bowl. Most recently, you probably saw her perform a flawless “This Land is Your Land/Let’s Get Loud” mashup at the Inauguration.
2.
Matthew McConaughey as Steve

Since The Wedding Planner, McConaughey has appeared in numerous films, including Dallas Buyers Club, for which he won an Oscar. Currently, he’s working on reprising his role as Buster Moon in the Sing sequel.

Bridgette Wilson-Sampras as Fran

Following a busy career in the ’90s, Wilson-Sampras stopped appearing in films altogether in 2008. However, it looks like she returned to performing to voice Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11!
4.
Judy Greer as Penny

Greer, queen of the rom-com, has about a million projects in the works, including two more installments in the Halloween franchise. She’s also voiced characters on Family Guy and Archer for over a decade, and she recently acted in Jim Carrey’s series Kidding and the film Where’d You Go, Bernadette.

Justin Chambers as Massimo
