When we first meet Willow, she’s the human embodiment of a shy, squeaky mouse. She can barely say a word without stammering, and her fashion sense screams “I raided my grandmother’s closet then got lost in a comic book store.” Seriously, she wore so many floral prints that she could have been mistaken for a walking garden center.
But here’s the surprising fact: Alyson Hannigan, the actress who played Willow, was actually a confident cheerleader in high school. That’s right—the girl who couldn’t say “boo” to a ghost was played by a woman who could probably do a backflip while solving algebra. It’s like discovering that the Dalai Lama moonlights as a DJ.
