He was actually 16 at the time, but he did lie about his age to land the role.

I don't think AFREAUX realized how long it took to make the movie.

That's right he turned sixteen while they were filming. He was 14 during production and lied about his age to get an audition.

Looks like he didn't turn 16 until after shooting was complete.

Maybe LF was just a little confused in that interview.

You're exactly right and LF must have just rounded his age up to 16 or been confused. Nice find.

I wonder if Feaux will come on and admit he was wrong?

Well it's been nearly 2 hours and he hasn't admitted it yet.
