40 Year old man, 26 Year old woman?


Ah, Hollywood.

reply

Most ridiculous thread winner.

Congrats on being an idiot.

Yes, it's Hollywood. If they had cast a 26 year old actor he would have looked too young to be believable as an engineer.

Why do you think there is such a long lull in between good roles for young male actors? They become too old to play teenagers but they look too young to play men. Very few can keep working steadily through those years. Yes there are exceptions like DiCaprio or Depp but there are plenty that just have to wait it out.

Must be a Hollywood thing because at my job we have plenty of experienced electrical, mechanical and structural engineers in their 20's and some are younger than 26 y.o.

reply

The characters' ages were never mentioned. She could pass for thirty, and he could pass for thirty-four, so no big deal.

reply

...only he's not 40.

reply

What exactly is the problem? Chris Pratt can still pass for someone in his mid 20s, and Jennifer Lawrence looks older than she is.

I'm in my early 20's and I have lots of friends in their mid 20's. Pratt does not look mid 20's. He looks his age. Nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes Lawrence looks her age and sometimes she looks older. Depends on the makeup. But she's aged a lot since coming onto the Hollywood scene.

Well, she looks older than 26. And he looks younger than 37. So, who cares? Stop being an ageist bigot.

reply

Well, he may be a 37 y.o. but he's Chris Pratt to begin with, so I assume he can get away with "almost" anything in the movies.

But imagine if he's the 10 y.o. old Eric Cartman from South Park - now THAT would've been a bloody complicated issue :D

An 11 year age difference?

I had girlfriends who were younger and older than that.


But never forget the magic formula (own age/2)+7. ;)

Nice Parks and Rec reference! Andy and April 4 ever.

I'm 27 and my boyfriend is almost 42😊
