Watch: Abigail Breslin's Blonde Transformation

Looks like blondes really do have all the fun!

At least if you ask Abigail Breslin, who has been rocking lighter locks since earlier this summer, and is amazed at how many people don't recognize her anymore.

E! News caught up with the Little Miss Sunshine star at the Toronto International Film Festival on the red carpet at the August: Osage County premiere to get her take on the recent transformation.

In this candid video, the blond beauty, who wore her hair in a chic low ponytail to the event, shares the funny reactions she's gotten from castmates and strangers alike. 

"The cast doesn't recognize me! I was like ‘Hey guys!' and they were like, ‘Who's this random girl crashing our photo shoot today?'" she said with sweet smirk.

She also cites another occurrence where she was at a local supermarket and witnessed two fans trying to identify her, but totally failed to do so in the end.

"This girl was like, 'Oh my gosh, that's Abigail Breslin,' and her friend was like, 'No it's not, it looks nothing like her!'" she said with a shrug.

Too funny!
