15 Actors Who Nailed Their Roles Despite The Age Differences

It's extremely rare that we get to see a character being portrayed by an actor of the same age. Just look at high school teenagers in any movie! They are middle-aged men and women playing as kids, and it shows. We just never think too much about the age differences here because it happens way too often it becomes expected.
That doesn't mean Hollywood fails all the time in casting though. Some actors are still able to give fantastic performances despite the huge age differences between them and their characters. They nailed the way the characters act, how they look, and what they sound like. Everything is so realistic and in tune that we totally forget about their real ages.
So let's find out how old these actors really were when they took these roles. Here are the age differences between 15 movie stars and their characters.
