Brittany Snow: From Pitch Perfect to a Comeback in Hunting Wives at 39

Brittany Snow came to fame 20 years ago when she starred in The Pacifier.

The 39-year-old was often seen in bikinis and lingerie when she did press for her movies, making her a blonde Hollywood pin up.

She went on to star in the soap opera Guiding Light, winning a Young Artist Award and receiving two other nominations.

Snow has also appeared in the TV shows American Dreams, Nip/Tuck, Harry’s Law, Full Circle, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Almost Family. 

Her biggest hit was the Pitch Perfect movies with Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson. Now she is costarring with Malin Akerman in the sizzling The Hunting Wives.

The cutie was seen over the weekend at the 2025 MTV VMA awards in New York and still looks as great as ever. See her now.

In July Snow said still doesn’t feel like she’s ‘made it’ in Hollywood.

The actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career but Brittany thinks she still has something to prove.

She explained to People: ‘I don’t think I’ve made it. It’s always a struggle. I’m always wondering what my next job is going to be or if going to “make it,” in a way. I think that’s the same for every actor — unless you’re Tom Cruise or something.’

Brittany drew inspiration from other actresses during her younger years. She said: ‘I’ve been around since people were kids, so they grew up with me as I was growing up.

‘I know with the people who influenced me the most, growing up, and the actresses that I looked up to, I do feel like I know them. And when I meet them, they mean more to me than anything because they showed me what it was like to be a woman.’

Brittany admits to feeling particularly inspired by Claire Danes, her The Beast in Me co-star.

The actress explained: ‘Working with Claire was probably one of the most fan-girl encounters that I’ve had in a long time, because I grew up with My So-Called Life.

‘I grew up with Romeo + Juliet, Little Women. I wanted to be Claire Danes. So, getting to work opposite of her and becoming friends with her was such an honor for me. She’s always been someone I greatly admire, not only for her acting, but also for how she keeps her private life sacred.’

Brittany’s attitude towards career success has evolved over time, and she still relishes what she does.

The movie star said: ‘I think my idea of success when I was younger was this sort of one-track mind of needing to be Julia Roberts because as a ten-year-old girl, everyone wants to be Julia Roberts.

‘I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that there’s so many different forms of success. Success, to me, is the fact that I’m still doing this, and I love it even more now. I remind myself all the time that I didn’t give up.’

Earlier this year she said she was horrified when a ‘very famous DJ’ fell asleep while they were ‘making out’. 

The actress joined upscale dating app Raya after splitting from surfer Tyler Stanaland in 2022 after two years of marriage and she’s recalled one of her disastrous encounters with one of her matches.

But she declined to say who it was other than to stress it wasn’t Diplo.

Speaking on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, she said: ‘One of the first dates I’d ever gone on from Raya was this very famous DJ.

‘I can’t tell you, but I’m sure that people can deduce it if they really want to. But he was like a very, he’s still famous, I guess.

‘I never matched with Diplo, but this guy – we went out,’ added the Hollywood star.

‘I think it was the first and second and third date that he fell asleep, once, while we were making out.’ 

Mid-make out. I’m not kidding. Swear to you.’ 

The Pitch Perfect star was ‘on his couch’ and kissing her date, when she realized he’d stopped responding. 

She recalled: ‘It’s late though and we’re, you know, just hanging out. We were talking and we weren’t doing anything very spicy.

‘It was just making out and I was sort of sitting here, but kind of on him like this and kissing him, and then all of a sudden I sort of felt like no kissing back. 

‘Like, there wasn’t any reciprocation to the kissing and I looked at him and I pulled back and he was just dead asleep.

‘I woke him up and I was like, ‘Hey, what the f*** is going on?” she added.

‘And he was like, ‘Oh man, I’m sorry. I’m just so tired.’ I mean, he’s a DJ, so I was like, ‘Did you have a late set last night?”

Brittany’s date was ‘really apologetic’ and pledged to ‘make it up’ to her if she gave him a second chance – only for the same thing to happen again. 

She added: ‘He was very sweet about it. We go out, like, a week later and he comes over to my place. Same thing. We’re kissing … We’re making out, he’s back asleep.’

Despite the DJ’s numerous apologies, Brittany ‘took it personally’. She added: ‘I was like, ‘Wow, I must really be just so hot.’
