Whatever Happened To The Sun Baby From Teletubbies?

It wasn't until her 19th birthday that Jess Smith decided to reveal on social media her very first job: the Sun Baby on "Teletubbies." She said in a post, "I used to hide it, but after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I've gained the confidence to come out with it. I am the sun from 'Teletubbies.' There has been quite a few people pretending to be 'the sun,' but only I could tell you the real story."

At 9 months old, during a routine doctor's visit, a midwife informed Smith's parents that a local production company was seeking a smiley baby, and asked if they'd like to submit their daughter's name. Needless to say, this surprise opportunity worked out in the end.

While the Netflix reboot of "Teletubbies" features a rotation of five new Sun Babies, Smith will always be the original. Therefore, she understands the nostalgia felt by her fellow Millennials when she continues to be part of the "Teletubbies" world.
