Now we’re learning another fun fact about another minor character, Emma Gerber.

So, you know the part when Cady breaks up the crown and gives it to a bunch of random people?

In the scene, Cady looks at Emma Gerber and says “That hairdo must have taken hours, and you look really pretty.”
Paramount Pictures
So, Korey Kuhl went viral reacting to the hairdo line. “I don’t believe Emma Gerber’s hairdo ‘must’ve taken hours.'”
I guess I just don’t believe that Emma Gerber’s hairdo “must’ve taken hours”

And then, because it’s 2022, the actual actor who played Emma Gerber, Jan Caruana, gave us more info about the hairdo.
At first it took about 25 minutes. Then I got sent to set and the director said “that doesn’t look like it took hours.” So I was sent back to hair and they stuck some flowers in it and I got sent back again. So in total… Maybe one hour. https://t.co/po33ynsaMo

So, there you have it. Emma Gerber’s hair did not take HOURS…it only took an hour.
