13 Pairs Of Actors Who Portrayed Parents And Kids Despite Unnatural Age Difference

When it comes to casting, there are a lot of surprises. In some cases, things like historical accuracy (biopics) or faithfulness to the original material (novel movies or remakes) can be overlooked if casting directors choose the right cast. Even if a movie plot causes backlash but actors successfully conquered millions of hearts, it won’t be a matter.
A case that has happened many times throughout film history is that an actor is unrealistically close in age to the actors portraying their parents. Filmmakers are conscious that experienced actors are able to fulfill a character of any age. Despite their effort in acting, their nuances are hard to conceal from the eyes of eagled-eye viewers.
We’ve found many movies and TV series where duos of actors became parent-kid pairings despite their small age gap. If this makes you curious, keep scrolling down to see.
