Hilary Duff feels Disney were "a little scared" to revive Lizzie McGuire, but she thinks they should have "listened" to her

Speaking to i-D magazine, she said: "I'm sad [those ideas] are going to waste, but maybe I feel slightly happy because I don't know if I would have made music a priority. But I'm sad that we didn't get to explore what her life would be like now. I have a great relationship with Disney, so no disrespect, but I feel like they should have listened to me.

"I'm the age of the people that would watch this, and I know what they would want.

"It wasn't like I wanted something crazy, but I wanted her to be grown up.

"I think they were a little scared."

However, Hilary hasn't completely ruled out a reboot of the show - which also featured Adam Lamberg, Jake Thomas, and Hallie Todd - in the future.

But, now, she would want to wait a couple of decades before stepping into the character's shoes again.

She said: "I feel like I wouldn't do it at 40, but I might do it at 60."

Hilary recently claimed Disney weren't "willing" to embrace Lizzie in her 30s.

She told Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast: "I think that there was just disagreements on how far we could take [Lizzie] and where she is, as you know, she would have been when we were filming that 30 or 31.

"And for me, I was that age and so I just also felt so deeply connected to her as a character because we were the same...

"And I was like, oh, man, we can't Mary Tyler Moore her that's not, I don't know, it was 2023. You know what I mean?

"There's social media and we weren't I wasn't trying to have her wake up and do bong rips or anything, but she was a normal 30-year-old, you know?

"So, there was some things I think they just weren't like, totally willing to go there."
