What happened to the ‘don’t chop the dinosaur daddy’ girl? Child star from the 2005 Natural Confectionery ad is now a 24-year-old student… and you’ll never guess what she looks like!
Everyone remembers the 2005 advert for the Natural Confectionery Company in which a little blonde girl tells her father, ‘Don’t chop the dinosaur, daddy!’
But the young actress who appeared in the famous lolly ad has stepped away from the spotlight and now follows a more spiritual path.
Joanna Hunt-Prokhovnik, 24, has turned her back on fame and is now studying integral energetics, a form of stress-reduction therapy.

In the advertisement, Joanna tells her on-screen father not to cut up a dinosaur lolly, saying: ‘Don’t chop the dinosaur daddy.’
She soon has a change of mind and tells him: ‘Chop it!’
Joanna was just 10 years old when she starred in the advert, according to an IMDb profile, and went on to appear in films including 2005’s Three Dollars, alongside the likes of David Wenham.

Despite being nominated for an AFI Award for Best Young Actor at the time, it seems that Joanna has grown up and turned her back on acting.
Despite doing a follow up advert for the lolly company in 2008, she now is in a completely different field.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Joanna is a student of integral energetics at Melbourne’s Tree of Life Integral Centre, that offers therapeutic services and education.
The stunning blonde has a certificate in property services for real estate, has volunteered at Life Saving Victoria, and does administrative assignments for a Melbourne-based recruitment company.
