      I think Olivia Newton-John mostly looked young because every other “high schooler” in the movie looked straight up middle aged. Sonny, Kenickie, and Rizzo especially all looked like they should be dropping their kids off at school, not attending it themselves.

      I just don’t get the issue?

      People complain if we put actual teenagers in films and tv shows doing teenage shit as unnecessary and exploitive and than people complain if we put young adults in those roles because they don’t look like children while they do raunchy stuff?

    3. Most of the actors who played teenagers in Ginny & Georgia are in their late 20’s by the last season and it’s mind boggling lol

      She will probably be 40 by the time we get the next Euphoria season.

    5. Jason Earles in Hannah Montana was 30 yet played a 16 yr old. He’s the same age as John Cena in real life.

    6. Busy Phillips/Sara Bareilles/Renee Elise Goldsberry play their flashback selves in Girls5eva

    7. Bre-Z was 31 when All American started in 2018. I think they were all meant to be juniors and seniors in high school during the first handful of seasons. She’s 38 now and I think All American is now them all being in college. She just hasn’t aged yet🤣

      I thought he was too young to play a 17 year old… Turns out he was 22!

      She was in her forties and played a student in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

    10. big ups gabrielle union for the goat detective jane seever iykyk (more people do not know)

    11. Rachel True played Rochelle in “The Craft” (1996). The movie was released a few months before she turned 30, so she was in her late 20s during filming.

      OK I hate to be that person but something all these women (most of them are) have in common are round cheeks and fuller faces and not the super chiseled structured look everyone is going for these days, often times with help of some cosmetic work.

    13. Bruce Willis played a baby in “look Who’s talking”. He was in his early 30’s at the time

    14. How has no one said Luke Perry playing Dylan McKay yet? He didn’t fool anyone, he actually looked even older than his actual age sometimes, but it sure as hell WORKED.

      Charisma Carpenter was around 27 when she started playing the high schooler, Cordelia, in Buffy.
