i dont agree with the moaning myrtle girl cause she legit 100% looks like a girl i knew in middle school down to the face so....
and idk i thought gabrielle union looked young but i guess now i can see it but it was highschool
growing up with some of these really failed me when i went to highschool and realized...i dont look nothing like these ppl and neither do my dorky classmates lmao
Moaning Myrtle looks believable to me, and it's partially because she's CGI'd as a ghost. In the behind-the-scenes pictures of her, she definitely looked too old, but in the movie, I never would've guessed her real age.
Disagree on Myrtle. She looks nothing like a teen. I could never understand why they cast someone so old in that part. They had cast so many kids already. It was very strange.
I saw it explained that since they knew they were going to reuse her character in multiple movies, she couldn't age like the other child actors could, so it made sense to cast an adult who wouldn't "grow up" with the role
BAsically the whole cast of Friday Night Lights besides the actress who played Julie. I mean, Taylor Kitsch was fine as fuck to look at, but what 16-18 year old has that body?
Lol yeah from what I remember they kept mentions of his actual age very vague in the early years, they never actually had Clark state that he was 14 or 15 in the first season, but it does track that way when you look back at how the series spend the four seasons with the characters all in high school, so they really must have been that young in the first season. I’m sure they must have retconned it a little later on so they could squeeze another year of high school out of it though, the pilot episode somehow had Chloe running the entire school newspaper by herself, and Lana getting voted prom Queen at the Homecoming dance when they would have both been freshmen 😆
i always roll my eyes when a tweet about this subject goes viral, that acts like either netflix is the only network that is guilty of it or acts like the only reason any show would do it is to be able to sexualize the characters, when in reality it allows them to avoid child labor laws with filming hours (which is necessary for teen shows on network tv that have long ass season), it gives them actors that can better handle the spotlight that comes with the fame (those poor stranger things kids) and actors that don't change appearance as rapidly as actors in the middle of puberty. and yes, actors that are gonna be more comfortable doing romance scenes (not even necessarily sex scenes, just look at what happened with the stranger things kids with the kissing drama in s2). though yes, obviously a lot of teen shows do use the older actors as an excuse to up the sex factor
( ... )
I can see both sides of it. On the one hand, I'd rather they at least cast people who are like 18-20 so its not too far off (because casting 30 year olds in most cases is...a choice), but on the other hand, I def think there have been cases where they've hired older to over-sexualise the characters. (Like Riverdale and One Tree Hill) Then the cast has had to be the ones to be like 'uh yeah, I didn't agree with that/my high school experience wasn't like that so please don't feel bad if yours isn't'.
