Alright, gather 'round, movie buffs! Today, we're gonna chat about that post-apocalyptic gem, 28 Days Later, and the age-old question (well, not that old, but you know what I mean) - how old is our leading lady, Hannah?
First Things First: A Quick Refresher
So, if you've been living under a rock (or maybe just avoiding zombies), 28 Days Later is a 2002 flick that kicks off with our hero, Jim (Cillian Murphy), waking up from a coma to find London deserted. Spoiler alert: it's not because of a sudden, city-wide siesta. Nope, it's those pesky rage-infected folks running around.
Now, About Hannah
Enter Hannah (Megan Burns), a young girl Jim finds along the way. She's a bit of a mystery, and her age is no exception. Now, we could dive into the deep end and start analyzing the symbolism of her youth and innocence in a post-apocalyptic world, but let's keep it real. We're here to have a chat, not write a thesis.

So, How Old Is She?
Alright, let's tackle the elephant in the room. Hannah's age is never explicitly stated in the movie. I know, I know, it's like when your mom says she'll "be right back" and you're left wondering if that's in human years or dog years.
But fear not, dear reader! We're not leaving you hanging. We've done some digging, and it turns out, Megan Burns, the actress who plays Hannah, was born in 1987. Now, when the movie was released in 2002, she was... drumroll please... 15 years old!
But Wait, There's More!
Now, you might be thinking, "But wait, she looks younger than that!" And you're right. Hannah's character is supposed to be around 8 or 9 years old. So, it's safe to say that Megan was playing a good few years younger than her actual age. Kudos to her acting skills, right?

Why the Mystery?
You might be wondering why the movie doesn't specify Hannah's age. Well, it could be because her age isn't really the point. It's more about her innocence and vulnerability in a world gone mad. Plus, it adds to the mystery and intrigue, doesn't it? A bit like when your favorite TV show leaves you hanging on a cliffhanger.
In Conclusion...
So there you have it, folks! Hannah in 28 Days Later is played by an actress who was 15 at the time, but her character is meant to be around 8 or 9 years old. Now, isn't that a fun fact to pull out at your next movie night?
