Now is a good time to ask yourself where time flies. Mackenzie Rosman, who played the adorable Ruthie on the hit TV series “Seventh Heaven” is all grown up and showing off her toned figure in the latest issue of Maxim magazine.

Mackenzie never attained again the same level of popularity as on “Seventh Heaven” but this spread is bound to put her back in the spotlight.

The spread is probably meant to boost interest in a new movie from SyFy, "Ghost Shark," which comes hot on the heels of the critically panned but incredibly popular “Sharknado,” starring Ian Ziering and Tara Reid.

Back to the topic of popularity, the actress, who is now 23, recalls the infamous Gear issue that ran a very revealing spread of Jessica Biel, who also starred on the series.

“I was probably nine at the time, but I remember that. It was a big deal. The magazine was banned on set, I think by orders of Aaron Spelling. I sneaked a peek at it, though. It was racy gossip amongst the women of Seventh Heaven!” Mackenzie says.

She also says she doesn’t know if a “Seventh Heaven” drinking game exists but, if anyone is thinking of doing it, they should drink every time Ruthie rolls her eyes or Lucy squeals. Fans probably remember that both used to happen quite a lot.

Asked who her celebrity crush is, Mackenzie says that she’s always had a thing for Hayden Christensen. Sadly, he’s spoken for because he’s been dating Rachel Bilson for some time.

Speaking of Mackenzie and how she never really managed to top her Ruthie character in popularity, "Ghost Shark" will probably not help her do that.

On a related note, though, “Sharknado” is officially getting a sequel which, as we also informed you some time ago, will bring the shark-infested tornado to New York.

Ian Ziering is almost certain to reprise his role, but Tara Reid not so much.
