10 Times Hollywood Failed Epically In Casting Older Or Younger Versions Of Characters

Flashbacks and time skips are very common in the world of movies. Some can be really emotional, some can even change the whole movie. However, there are times when Hollywood fails in casting the older or younger versions of your favorite characters. They fail so hard that the actors don’t have an ounce of resemblance.
This can ruin the entire show for many people. How can this complete stranger be the same person that you’re rooting for? It’s time that Hollywood directors realize that two people with the same hair color don’t mean that they are the same person. You can’t cover up their differences with sloppy makeup either. Their bone structures are not the same!
So let’s see which casting of older or younger versions failed so epically that it pissed everybody off. Seriously, you CAN NOT convince us those two actors are the same Howard Stark.
