Nativity child star Sydney Isitt-Ager looks unrecognisable as she lands huge Netflix role
NATIVITY child star Sydney Isitt-Ager is all grown up and has landed a huge Netflix role.
It’s been over a decade since Nativity! was released and the fresh-faced schoolchildren look unrecognisable now.
Widely regarded as one of the most popular Christmas films of all time, Nativity! hit our screens back in 2009 and spawned two more movies.
Viewers soon fell in love with the story of a loveable primary school teacher – Mr Madden – who tries to put on the best nativity play with his class after claiming that Hollywood are coming to visit.
The movie centres around the pupils of St Bernadette’s Primary School, who were practically infants when the film first hit screens.
The child actors have since gone on to bigger and better things, with some impressing us on Britain’s Got Talent, while others have claimed TikTok fame.

Sydney Isitt-Ager played adorable Sadie, the girl who tells Mr Madden’s that she doesn’t want to do the show anymore.
She is also the daughter of Debbie Isitt, who wrote and directed Nativity!
Last year she ran a beauty business around lashes and make-up and was doing dance training at a theatre school.
Now she’s set to star in Christmas on Mistletoe Farm, billed as “a charming, feelgood rom com for bigger kids to enjoy.”
The synopsis says: “After inheriting a farm at Christmas time, a widowed father makes a bumpy adjustment to village life while his kids hatch a plan to stay there for ever.”
Other child stars to share the spotlight include Krista Hyatt who played Becky.
In 2008, she got to the final of Britain’s Got Talent in a dance duo called The Cheeky Monkeys, with a boy called Charlie Dixon.
