Sarah Michelle Gellar: I'm too "long in the tooth" to reprise Buffy the Vampire Slayer role

Deadline

Gellar, who turns 44 in April, said on Mario Lopez's podcast she’s a “wee bit, how do they say, long in the tooth for that" when asked about returning to her iconic role. The monsters Buffy faced “were a metaphor for the horrors of adolescence,” she explained. “I do think that story lends itself, it’d be interesting to see how a chosen one would deal with that. I don’t think it’s me, I don’t think I should be the one doing it.”
