- NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah posted a throwback photo you won't soon forget.
- Daniela is 15 in the picture, and is surrounded by posters of icons like Ricky Martin.
And just when you thought you couldn’t love Daniela Ruah more…
The NCIS: Los Angeles actress has won our hearts for so many reasons. True, we’re obsessed with her character, Kensi, on the show, especially because of her sweet marriage to Deeks. But Daniela is even more amazing in real life, often posting relatable messages about motherhood or lifting up her fellow co-stars, like brother-in-law Eric Christian Olsen.
All of that to say, Daniela is a class act. You may not expect a celebrity to have those traits and a sense of humor too—but the 36-year-old has it all. The proof? A photo she posted on Instagram from when she was 15. She rocked short hair, a long-sleeve tee, and is surrounded by photos of teen heartthrobs from the '90s.
“It was always you Ricky Martin,” she captioned the shot. She also included hashtags with more hilarious details like “#openpants” to call out her top button being undone, and “yallthoughtDeekscameupwiththathair.”
Her followers couldn’t get enough of her throwback, with many agreeing that her haircut was reminiscent of Eric’s curly locks. Some called her a tomboy, while others said she resembled Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things, which we can totally see. One fan suggested she get her childhood crush, Ricky, to guest star on NCIS: LA and we fully support that idea.
She may have pulled off the Deeks look back in the day, but we think her current style is perfect for this decade.
