I thought the actor that played John Smith was closer to 30


While watching the movie for the first time, last night, I couldn't help but wonder aloud why the school administrators weren't questioning a guy who looked like he was 30 enrolling at their school, lol.

LOL. I recently watched the movie and was thinking the same thing.

In schools in my area, if a man who appearing to be 30 tried to enroll, the school would most likely call the cops.

I thought the same thing. This guy looks old, but in reality he's pretty young. Born in 1990.

Alex Pettyfer who played John Smith was only 20 when this film was released and I honestly didn't think he looked 30 in this movie, maybe 25 but that would be pushing it.

He doesn't look 30. I only wish he was cos then I wouldn't feel bad for fancying him cos I'm 30 next month haha.

I always thought Alex Pettyfer looked older than his years. He is mature looking to be 23.
