Avril Lavigne recreates teenage photo on Hollywood Walk of Fame, but this time with her own star (PHOTOS/VIDEOS)
Avril Lavigne received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and she did it in true pop-punk fashion.
Lavigne, who hails from Napanee, Ontario, unveiled the star alongside fellow musician Machine Gun Kelly and her family and friends during a public ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday.
But it turns out this isn’t the first time the 37-year-old has set foot on the famed stretch of sidewalk.
During her speech, Lavigne shared a photograph of her teenage self posing next to what may or may not be Tom Cruise’s star, according to Variety.

“So, Iām 16 years old and Iām on my first trip to Hollywood, and of course, I had to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame because itās iconic,ā said Lavigne.
In the photo, she’s wearing a sweater with a message that’s pretty on brand for the skater girl: “Skateboarding is not a crime.”
And it’s the same sweater she slipped on before unveiling and getting shots with her own Hollywood star.

The unveiling coincides with the 20th anniversary of her debut album Let Go, which featured hit singles “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi.”
The record catapulted Lavigne to international stardom and even earned her the unofficial title of Canada’s pop-punk princess.
Lavigne ended her speech aptly.
“I’m so grateful ā to party with you all after.”
