THIS Is Amanda Bynes' Unbelievable Transformation

Amanda Bynes began her career as the youngest cast member of Nickelodeon's 'All That' in 1998, establishing herself as a rising young comedian. She later became the star of 'The Amanda Show,' which aired on the network from 1999 to 2002.

Amanda's post-Nickelodeon career took off! She appeared in several notable projects including 'The Drew Carey Show,' 'Big Fat Liar,' and 'The Nightmare Room.'

In 2003, Amanda Bynes made her feature film debut in 'What a Girl Wants.' The following year, in 2004, she also began appearing in the hit sitcom 'What I Like About You.'

In 2006, Amanda Bynes starred alongside Channing Tatum in the comedy film 'She's the Man.'

In 2007, she was cast in the movie 'Hairspray' as the character "Penny".

In 2010, Bynes surprised many by announcing her retirement from show business via Twitter. She wrote, "Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. I know 24 is a young age to retire, but you heard it here first: I've retired." However, shortly after, she reversed her decision, tweeting, "I've unretired." She then shared a link to the trailer for the movie 'Easy A,' where she portrayed a self-righteous high school student alongside Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, and Aly Michalka.

The actress posed nude for the February 2010 cover of 'Maxim' and opened up about feeling like people still saw her as a kid, even though she was 23. She said she was ready to take control of her choices. She mentioned she wouldn't do anything explicit like porn, but she was open to more mature roles, like those in Leonardo DiCaprio movies.

The actress was arrested on suspicion of DUI in April 2012 and formally charged two months later. She pleaded not guilty and reached out to Barack Obama on Tuesday for help in her case. "I don't drink," Bynes told the U.S. President via Twitter. "Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end."

In September 2012, the actress known for her role in 'Sydney White' faced official charges of two misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run. Shortly after, she was spotted driving in Hollywood with a suspended license, leading police officers to stop her. After a 25-minute conversation, Bynes was permitted to return home.

In February 2020, Amanda announced her engagement to boyfriend Paul Michael. However, by March 17, she revealed her pregnancy with Paul, later clarified as false by her lawyer. On February 20, 2020, after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, Amanda announced her plans to launch her own clothing line via Instagram.

In December 2023, Bynes started a new project called 'Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast.' Their first guest was tattoo artist Dahlia Moth. But after just one episode, Bynes said on the podcast's TikTok page that they were pausing it because they couldn't get the big-name guests they wanted, like Jack Harlow, Drake, or Post Malone. The next day, Bynes changed her mind and said they would keep doing the podcast. She admitted that podcasts take time to get popular and hinted that they might still get those big-name guests in the future. She also said they already had some great guests lined up.
