Never thought that it’d be so easy! The Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh premiered in January 2004, launching The Amanda Show alums Drake Bell and Josh Peck to mainstream teen stardom and introducing audiences to Miranda Cosgrove.
“I met Miranda Cosgrove when she was 9 years old, like, auditioning to play my little sister. I was 14. Now she’s a fully grown human, she drives her Mercedes. She’s doing great,” Peck stated of his onscreen stepsister on the April 2022 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, per E! News.
The Happy People Are Annoying writer added that he nonetheless had familial emotions towards his former costar. “I feel like her older brother. I feel protective of her. I’m like, ‘Who are you dating and is he nice to you?’” he defined.

Ten years after the present wrapped in 2007, Bell took to social media to trace that he was harm by not being invited to Peck’s June 2017 nuptials to Paige O’Brien.

A supply advised Us Weekly on the time that the duo hadn’t spoken in three years. “Josh was really hurt,” the insider stated. “They aren’t close anymore and Josh had a very small wedding.”
