What happened to the ‘Yoplait Petit Miam’ girl? Child star from the iconic yoghurt adverts is now in her thirties – and you’ll NEVER guess what she looks like
She starred in the famous series of commercials for Yoplait Petit Miam in the ’90s.
And while many millennials will recall the advert’s catchphrase (‘Yoplait Petit Miam… it’s French for mmm… yum!’) the child star in the campaign was just as memorable.
Despite her young age, Jessica Fallico spoke in a flawless French accent in the ad, which also starred another pint-sized actor as her little brother.

The advert begins with Jessica saying, ‘This is Yoplait Petit Miam in a tube. You can eat it walking, running…’
But then her brother snatches the yoghurt and runs away from her.
The little boy is later shown eating the yoghurt behind an archway, as Jessica shouts after him.
Yoplait fame: ‘I don’t get recognised anymore. But as soon as people spell it out to others. The joy that comes on people’s faces,’ Jessica (pictured) said candidly
Back in 2018, Jessica spoke about the advert the made her famous.
She told 2GB that while she doesn’t get recognised anymore, she still sees the ‘joy’ in people’s faces when they find out who she is.
Sadly, she didn’t keep in touch with the ‘little French kid’ who played her brother because he lived in Melbourne while she was based in Sydney.
‘We never saw each other again,’ she said. ‘It’s a long lost brother and sister.’
Jessica starred in the beloved ads through the 90s, alongside her on-screen brother. Fans might be shocked to know she actually doesn’t speak with an accent
