I haven’t seen X-Men: DoFP yet (way late to that party, just saw First Class two days ago), but Tumblr made me love Quicksilver already. I’ve always had a thing for young guys with silver hair (Dash X**, I blame you). I felt weird for being slightly attracted to him because he appears to be a little too young, so I looked up Evan Peters on IMDB and he’s only three years younger than me. That’s perfectly acceptable, IMO.
Actors and actresses who look at least ten years younger than they really are just amaze me. Or like, half their age in some cases! I’m gonna call this “Blessed/Cursed with Baby Face”, which should totally be a TV Trope. Blessed because who doesn’t want to always look that youthful, but Cursed because in Hollywood that usually means you’re stuck playing teenagers forever.
** Actually, now that I think about it, this version of Quicksilver looks just enough like a fashion-conscious, non-hobo Dash that that’s EXACTLY the reason I think he’s attractive. Dash X was one of my very first crushes and still holds a special place in my heart twenty-some years later.
