Hilary Duff recalls wild teenage prank from her younger days

Hilary Duff has shared a surprising story from her teenage years, revealing a mischievous prank she once pulled with her friends on a boy who had treated one of them badly. The singer and actress described the incident as one of her “spiciest” memories, admitting that although it was a long time ago, the prank was quite extreme.

The 39-year-old star opened up about the unusual experience during a recent appearance in Billboard’s Take Me Out video series, released on Tuesday, November 3. During the conversation, Duff reflected on some of the unexpected moments from her younger days and recalled how she and her friends decided to teach a boy a lesson after he hurt one of their friends.

According to Duff, the situation began when a boy was treating her friend unfairly. Feeling protective of their friend, the group decided to take matters into their own hands. She explained that they had been drinking when they came up with the idea of pulling a prank on him.

The group eventually purchased what Duff described as the cheapest and most unpleasant can of tuna and wieners they could find. They then emptied its contents across the boy’s front lawn, turning the incident into an unforgettable teenage memory.

Duff recalled that the group had a great time carrying out their plan, describing the experience as a little adventure on the boy’s property. Although she seemed amused while remembering the incident, the actress also acknowledged that their behaviour was rather mean.

The former Disney star described the prank as something that happened during her late teenage years. She also clarified that she was never particularly interested in going out or getting involved in wild activities. The incident, however, became an exception that she still remembers years later.

Looking back, Duff admitted that the prank was somewhat evil, adding that it happened long before she became a mother. Her comments reflected how differently she views some of her younger experiences now that she has grown older and has a family of her own.

Meanwhile, Duff is currently enjoying an active period in her music career. Her latest single, CATastrophe, was released last month as part of the soundtrack for the upcoming animated film The Cat in the Hat. The song has also received a music video, while the movie is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Friday, November 6.

The singer also released her album Luck… or Something in February, marking another important step in her musical journey. The project has attracted attention from fans who have followed her career since her early days as a Disney television star.

In addition to her recent releases, Duff is preparing for an extended run of live performances. Her Lucky Me Tour has been expanded into 2027, with 32 additional dates announced across Europe, Latin America and the United States. The updated schedule includes a performance in Milan, giving international fans more opportunities to see her on stage.

Duff’s recent revelation has offered fans a humorous glimpse into her teenage personality. While she is now balancing motherhood, music and professional commitments, her story shows that she still enjoys looking back on the unexpected and mischievous moments that shaped her younger years.
