Older actors who played Teens in movies

Here’s another one.

He was only 33 when they filmed Ghostbusters.

I thought he was in his 40s for that role lol

he does look much older but years ago men looked more mature early, today men seem to maintain their youth better

a lot of those leading men in the 1940s and 50s were just young boys but seemed like 35 year olds and mature

many were in their early 20s but you would think they were 35 to 40 year olds the way they acted and carried themselves, today most guys act like channing tatum and seth rogen and zac efron, so they appear younger because they act like man childs.

Clark Gable was only 37 years old when they filmed gone with the wind yet he was so mature and looked and acted like a 50 year old gentleman years older than he was

Sean Connery just turned 32 when he played James Bond, a lot of the 32 year old male actors today still look like boys while Connery was a very masculine and mature grown male not acting like a goofy manchild

an interesting tidbit is he was already going bald in james bond he wore a hair piece.

What the fuck, I had no idea that Luke Perry wasn’t the oldest actor on 90210. He always looked old, and everyone joked about it (see the above Simpson’s joke). I can’t believe the actor for Steve was older than him.

I never understood how Picard looked older in his pre Start Trek days than after them.

whats funny is the oldest actor which was Gabrielle always came off as the most youthful her personality and everything you would think she was the youngest.

 

[Lights Out 101]

She may take the cake.

I thought that was just Daniel Radcliffe in a wig taking on 2 roles.

I’m not going to lie, I don’t even remember her character at all. I remember Brenda, Brandon, Steve, Kelly, Donna, David and Dylan. I don’t remember Andrea ever even being on the show.

She was part of the original cast for several years, and she had a crush on Brandon, she was mainly just filler cast she never really had any episodes of substance around her and minimal lines. she left after season 5 I think, so thats probably why you don't really remember her she had like guest appearances here and there.

First guy I though of seeing this thread - well that whole tv show.

Was anyone actually a teen on 90210?
