She was pretty young compared to the men she had to act alongside in that movie right? Think about this, in 2004, Emmy Rossum was 18 when Phantom came out and Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson were 35 and 31.

So in Pirates in 2003, Keira was only 18 too. Orlando was 26 and the wifebeater was 40, hell Davenport was 30.

WHY do they do that? I know it's still happening but damn the early 2000s were something else. Of course this must be so jarring for young actresses.

Double standards. Men can age like a rotten cheese and still get booked but women need to be as young as possible when they break out to guarantee „longevity“ because who wants to see / cast a 40 year old women in 10 years!

Ooh. Didn't realize the age gap between the two. Damn.

[glitterslugs]

damn orlando seemed way older than 26

The only age difference that makes sense is in Pride and Prejudice because it followed the book. She was 20-21 and Matthew MacFadyen was 28-29, just like in the book.

Phantom makes sense too. Not Patrick Wilson but the Phantom being older than her checks out.

Davenport was only 30?? I need to do a rewatch, I thought he was older than that

[notoriousreign]

I know I swear I thought he was older too lol

[ginainabottle]

damn, Jack Davenport was 30? the british is strong with that one.

I'm younger than Emmy so I never caught on but I was listening to the soundtrack and in so many of the songs she sounds young young. Like I'm happy she had good experiences on that set because with two much older men playing the leads that could've been a much different story to tell.

for a sec I thought that hell is what we are calling Davenport these days for some offence unknown to me. I'm prepared for anything
