The Outsiders main cast except C Thomas Howe was the only one under 18 as he was 16

The Karate Kid Macchio was 23

The OC the main cast was in their mid 20's except for Mischa Barton who was 17 but looked a lot older in my opinion. She was actually the one I thought did not look like she was in HS.

My Cousin Vinny - starring a nearly 50 year old Joe Pesci as an up and coming NY attorney fresh out of law school.

Outer Banks. The main character is supposed to be a 15 - 16 yr old minor. He was actually about 28 yrs old in Season 1 and you could tell.

It doesn’t matter how old the actors are….what matters is how they look together on screen. For TGM, Cruise looks the same age if not younger than JC…he’s a freak.

One of the more recent movies I thought fit this topic was Heat. Great movie, but DeNiro looks a LOT older than Brenneman so them being a couple was a stretch for me.

I’ve noticed on PornHub that often the actor playing the stepson is about as old as the actress playing the stepmother.
