18-19 by the time he was found by Jane in the forest.

I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, "Dude, you have to wait."

In the audio commentary they mention that as a kid he's five and as a adult he's twenty

reply

Only 20 really? I always thought he had to be 30.

Yeah, I know. He looks older than 20, right?

reply

But he definetly doesn't look as old as 30!!!

Tarzan is 20?! Wow! I never thought of that. He did look more like between 29 and 30 to me as an adult, but when he was young as a kid, I thought he look a lot more like a 10 year old.

I heard that in the book, Tarzan aged slower than the rest of the apes so they thought he was under-developed. And Kala stood by him and said "If I'm going to be his mother for the rest of my life so be it."

Living naked in the jungle ages a guy.

According to Phil Collins, he's shown from "... 5 to 20" so I guess he's 20

In the books, Tarzan is adopted by the apes of Kerchak at age one. He is about 19 when Jane and the others make their way to the beach near where the aoes are living. He's about 20 by the time he leaves the jungle and follows Jane and her father to Wisconsin.

I think he's was 23, but I'm not sure.

There's something wrong with Esther.
