Former child star Jennette McCurdy has addressed the controversial romance she had with a much older man she met on the set of Nickelodeon’s iCarly, which would later serve as inspiration for her forthcoming debut novel, Half His Age.
McCurdy, 33, was around 14 when she was cast as Sam Puckett alongside Miranda Cosgrove’s Carly on the five-season teen sitcom in 2007. She first opened up about her “creepy” age-gap relationship with an unidentified man in her best-selling 2022 memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died.
