[@LunarAngel]

jasmine Jones Because I was 10 by the time it ended and never asked? Dumb question.

[@raghad1d420]

LunarAngel SAME I WAS SHOCKED

[@MariahTheSloth]

What's even weirder is that he is still working for Disney and he is like.. 40. I mean.. Doesn't he have bigger ambitions? Disney pays well but playing half your age all your life seems kinda tiring

[@num1Jaysta]

[@BroJo676]

Why not casting teenagers to play teenagers?

[@R7v4]

Because sometimes there are sex scenes between the characters. Real teenagers can't do sex scenes since they're minors.

[@nephew1216]

Lamb Lovatic lol wasn't Sarah Michelle gellar 17 when she shot her first sex scene on Buffy the vampire slayer. Because she was a teenager playing a teenager

[@TheBritneyMinajSpearsQuartz]

nephew1216 17/18 year olds don't count.

[@BroJo676]

Thank you for all your very intelligent and interesting answers. I like when KZbinrs know what they're talking about for once!

[@BroJo676]

Alice Wasteland Te thing is, I always read some type of BS wherever some questions are asked and even though I know everyone is not dumb, it still feels good when I can read intelligent and careful statements from people. Love and thank you guys again! :)

[@k-poplover5329]

Sseraphim Do you like EXO? I LOVE THEM. I'm just asking because of your Profile Pic

[@fardiachowdhury9758]

@@k-poplover5329 Her profile pic isn't an exo member. It's my baby Jung Jaehyun from my ultimate biased group NCT.

[@miratornvall3203]

Most amazing thing was that Bianca Lawson looked like exacly the same in pll 2010 than Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1997.

[@miratornvall3203]

Excuse my English, it's not my first language

[@darthonyx2382]

[@cuetherain3699]

@ the entire cast of glee; more specifically Cory Monteith and Harry Shum jr were both playing teenagers in their 30's, but the entire cast was old af and playing teenagers, even Chris was in his 20's playing a teenager and he was the youngest one

[@harrypottergleestarwarsdis4817]

true

[@akennedy178]

Cue The Rain what about grant gustin/ Barry Allen

[@cuetherain3699]

AlexisKennedy 101 I said glee wtf does the flash have to do with this. *Sebastian Smythe. Grant played a 17 year old in his early 20's on glee, that's still one of the younger ones who were on glee, we aren't talking about the flash why did you say Barry Allen?? He was Sebastian Smythe on glee

[@akennedy178]

Cue The Rain I know him more commonly as Barry bc I didn't watch glee but I thought he played a teen while older

[@rebeccajanewilson9505]

Cue The Rain

[@vietanhtran6431]

Viet Anh Tran Lydia 😍

[@dixybae541]

shelley?everyone always fucking forget her,she is also an importat part of the cast

They saved the best for last. Bianca Lawson is the Queen of still being able to convincingly portray teenage roles at her age.

[@damariusingram6205]

Ian and Paul from the vampire diaries

[@corpiusa3171]

Ian plays Damon who’s in his twenties. Gotta agree on Paul though

[@abigailwilliams8889]

[@Lena-sn7le]

Maya 😢

[@iliyanakostadinova8798]

Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley were pretty old when they started tvd. Stefan had to be 17 but Paul was 26-27.

[@shantigemerts5409]

holland roden, shelley henning ,crystal reed !!! they act 17 in teen wolf, but in real they are in the 30

[@satvrnamvs7149]

You should've put The Maze Runner and Teen Wolf in there. All of the actors and actresses are older than twenty and they all play sixteen or seventeen year olds😂😂 (amazing movie and TV series btw)👏🏻

[@katgeschimsky1761]
