Marking the milestone birthday, Christa B. Allen, who is an avid TikTok user and frequently shares references from the film, had released a five-part video series in which her own 13-year-old self comes to visit her to offer her wisdom. According to Entertainment Tonight, the teen version of the actor can be seen telling her in one of the videos, "Lots of people didn't make a movie telling a bunch of young girls that their only two choices in life are to be wildly successful and alone, or to get married, have kids, and decorate some cheesy house."
The actor continued, "I'm just saying, it's all based on some lie that women can't have it all, but what is all and who made that list? Look, not everything's just going to magically fall into place the second you turn 30. (It will) when you realize you've already met the love of your life. You."

Taking to the micro-blogging site, Allen had talked about the film. She wrote, "When I started my TikTok journey two years ago, I had no idea how much people would love 13 Going on 30 content. After several videos went viral, fans were asking for a sequel by the hundreds. This short series 'Vienna' is less of a sequel, more of a response- I hope you love it!"
