Didn't really watch Happy Days, but caught an episode here and there.

I always thought The Fonz was some older dude hanging around high school kids.

 

[TidWell]

LOL that teen was on that inland empire meth diet

 

[Misfit23]

I didn't realize the Fonz was supposed to be a teenager. Just some degenerate drop out.

Joseph Gordon Levitt could still play a highschool kid

The receding hairline didn't help.

It also didn't help that they had to do Furious 7 9 years later and he had to be the same age!

 

[IIIIIIII]

all i see are trannies.

 

[Anialater]

Luke Perry looked like a 35yo man in 90210. Forehead wrinkles and shit.

 

[Alphaboy]

She may take the cake.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I'm sure they just did it for legal and liability issues but man, it ruined me as a teen wondering why I didn't look grown up like in the movies. Unrealistic expectations.

 

[Shaungotti]

Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim. This chick is like 24 or 25 in this pic.

 

[mjmj]

Fonzy was never 17. He was said to be 19 in the first season, though I think as time went on he was portrayed as significantly older than the others.

 

[Satanical Eve]

I didn't realize the Fonz was supposed to be a teenager. Just some degenerate drop out.

My mind is blown, all this time I thought he was an older high school drop out who just didn't give a shit

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

I'm surprised by Fonzy's age, I too thought he was like 30 or whatever.
