When It All Started

Picture this: it's 2010, and Nickelodeon's about to drop a new show that's gonna make your inner theater kid squeal. The first season of Victorious is filming, and our favorite Hollywood Arts gang is just getting started. So, how old were they?

Victoria Justice, our fearless leader Tori Vega, was just a baby-faced 17. Can you even? She was practically a toddler compared to her on-screen self! Ariana Grande, who played Cat Valentine, was a mere 16. I know, right? It's like they were just kids playing dress-up!

Growing Up On-Screen

As the seasons rolled in, our little Victorians were growing up, right before our eyes. By the time season 2 was filming, Victoria was 18, and Ariana was 17. They were practically adults! Well, in teen years, at least.

Leon Thomas III, who played the super-talented Andre Harris, was 14 when the show started. By the time it ended, he was 18. That's like going from middle school to college in just a few years! And let's not forget about Matt Bennett, who played the lovable Robbie Shapiro. He was 15 when they started filming, and 19 when it wrapped. Talk about a quarter-life crisis!

Age Is Just A Number

But hey, even though they were growing up on-screen, they were still just kids off-camera. Remember when Victoria Justice once said she felt like she was 12 even though she was 18? That's totally relatable, right? I mean, who among us hasn't felt like we're still 12, no matter how old our birth certificate says we are?

And let's not forget the time Ariana Grande accidentally revealed her age on Twitter. She was 21, but she thought she was 22. I mean, can you blame her? When you're constantly on the go, it's hard to keep track of the days, let alone your age!

So, How Old Were They?

In the end, it doesn't really matter how old they were when they were filming. What matters is that they gave us a show that we all loved and grew up with. They were our friends, our idols, and our inspiration. And even though they were just kids playing dress-up, they taught us a lot about friendship, love, and following your dreams.

So, the next time you're watching an episode of Victorious, remember that the cast was just a bunch of kids having the time of their lives. And isn't that what growing up is all about?
