ANyone else find it bizarre to see Zooey playing opposite Jim? I mean he's like 25 years older than her! She should have been dating Jim Carrey's young friend. Why did they cast him as if he was 30? Totally bizarre.
shareI just thought the exact same thing (re.: the original post of this thread).

I admit I found it a bit creepy as well. However, it's standard practice in a biased Hollywood. They simply do not hire 40+ women as leads very often. It's a man's world.
share18-year age difference. She's older than she seems.
shareLook at the ages of the actors who were in his circle of friends in the film. In real life, they were all in their early to mid 30s at the time of filming. Jim was playing a character who was around 35.
Jim Carrey 46
Bradley Cooper 33
Danny Masterson 31
Sasha Alexander 34
Molly Sims 34
Zooey Deschanel 28
It was originally supposed to be Jack Black who is closer to Zooey's age, but I think Carrey did an amazing job.

Don't forget that Carl had to say 'Yes' to everything, which means he would have said yes regardless of age

Not just Zooey, all of his friends was younger than him. It was only his ex-wife who looked like his age.
