The remake of the *tomorrow people* is even worse. Actors that look late 20s with a mother that looks early 30s.

Tbf he WAS Clark Kent... but yeah... it got really silly

I'm from a small farm town in Wyoming, work all your summers in the fields and this becomes more believable lol

25 year old teenagers and their 35 year old parents (from Will & Grace)
shakinmyhead
They still do this. Last of us ellie- Bella Ramsey is 19 and plays a 14 yold
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Just another thing he's lied about.
Captaintippie
Newsflash, this isn't just an early 2000s thing, they still do this and did it long before this movie.

Remy Zero had some decent albums

Beverly Hills 90210. One of the actresses playing a teenager was literally 35.
thereitis101
She’s now head of SAG

Derry girls, one of the 'teens' is mid thirties

Ah no it's the weird one. Jesus... 31.

I stand by the overaged actors playing characters in stories is the only reason we accept creepy af things on tv, like the children in GoT.
Bugaloon
Some of them are like 9-12 and the actors are 30, there's a reason we can sit back and watch a 10 year old get married off like its nothing
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Me and my sis would have a drinking game during smallville epos. Any time clark lied to lana. Drink. Then in later seasons any time lana ...
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Lied to clark. Drink. Lolol or if someone is knocked unconscious. Lol
Chalybos
Hey, when my kid was on swim team his freshman year there were a few seniors that looked like marines. Hell, I was buying my own beer at 17.
mrB3ND3R
Yeah, others times suck! It's totally not the exact same today.
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Did yall see the cws dc universe cross over event when lex was going through the multiverse and killing all supermans. Well, he traveled to
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Smallville's demension and clark and lois came back played like a 5 min. Scene. It was epic! Yasssssss. I nearly fainted!
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
And for anyone who has not seen legends of tommorow. Go watch it.! Its soooo dang good. Love me some sara lance and ava sharp. Mmmmmm mmmmm
jalondon628
Have you seen anything on The CW? It’s only super attractive 20/30-somethings playing HS sophomores who also run schools and local govts.
beoluves
And fuck. A lot. So they need to be older.
Forosnai
I am REALLY tired of shows trying to get me aroused with teenage sex-scenes. I don't care that they're not actually 16, stop it!
nasukkin
I mean, they tried to bring Aaron Paul back as Jesse Pinkman in Better Call Saul.
Kommadore
And Jesse Plemons in El Camino is almost unrecognizable.
JoshuaGraham1
Bro looked right fucked 🤣
TheMershedPerderder
Yeah, and I had the biggest fucking crush on him, as a real life teen.
swedeonamoose
I first watched the entirety of Smallville about 1 year ago, i'm 35 and have no idea how that show jsut flew under my radar completely.
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Have you seen legends of tommorow? In one of the crossovers with flash and arrow, they go to one of the multiverses and its smallville
VenomSnek
I'm just a bit older. I saw it occasionally on TV6 daytime in mid 00's. Have been meaning to look through it all, should still be on HBO Max
marthafarquar
Fun Fact : The biggest age discrepancy I know is 37 year old Shirley Henderson playing the ghost of 14-year-old Moaning Myrtle Warren
DiracsDelta
I’ve decided character are always as old as their actors, and I will twist the canon to fit.
IMCastorTroy
In Orphan an 11 year old played a 33 year old, but that's very different.
royrogersdoublerbarburger
Fun fact: she's also the voice of Babu Frik. https://www.buzzfeed.com/andyneuenschwander/moaning-myrtle-is-the-voice-of-babu-frik
CatsOrExcited
To me, that stood out more than any other. Looked like a 40 yr old acting like a cartoon toddler? The bathtub part was ESPECIALLY creepy.
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
That's kinda her niche. She's been creepy-crazy with the toddler voice in Happy Valley too.
phantomeye
They didn't even need her, they should have just used Daniel to do both roles.

JustHereForTheMemes0321
Happened to once as a kid
ThisGuyPostingThings
That's not Superman, but it does look like ordinary Smallville teenager-turned-Metropolis reporter Clark Kent.
JustHereForTheMemes0321
Might be the "Blur" though
Thankxforthehotandsweatynightsinperu5
Na. Pretty sure thats a plane bro. 🛩🐦🦸
ThisGuyPostingThings
Are you suggesting Clark Kent is the Red/Blue Blur? I can't believe that, that's ridiculous.

In the 70s, these were high school seniors.

This is a very good anti-smoking ad tbh.

I remember being so confused by this as a kid XD
pleaseacknowledgethecat
Life was harder in the 70s
Unclescam
Smoking.
natachan
Yeah but back then everyone smoked
LoopStricken
Yeah, that's why they all look old as fuck.
Gerokeymaster
To be fair, this is what 70s music icon Jim Croce looked like at TEENTY EIGHT:
Gerokeymaster
Also, my phone apparently thinks the word "Twenty" is spelled "teenty"...
witkop
I thought you meant to use a funny way of saying 18. Thank you for clarifying.

Wait... what?

I mean...TotallyNotSarcastic. So it must be true.
Doobiedo3
Stockard was 33.
mthrndr01
Yeah, but people just looked older back then. She could pass for 47 easy.
JHRD1880
And Michael Tucci was 31 but looked in his 40s at least.
necrojoe
aintnothinbutahounddog28
No, that is exactly what (the parents of) teenagers looked like in the 70's!

They look like they've been through2 divorces

Is this that Stranger Things show
SoulTakerWasSupposedToBeMyUsernameButSomebodyStoleIT
Nope, outer banks. The "16 year olds" above struggle through live and school. Absolute clownshow
joshcrimson
He was ~25 during this movie, married to a model almost 10 years his senior, and also playing a highschooler in Smallville at the same time.
rile
I came to this country as Senior in HS and was genuinely shocked not everyone looked like in Grease movie. They were babies!
notinitforthepoints
He was?
tinybartender
Tom Welling was 24 when Smallville started airing in 2001.
notinitforthepoints
I meant regarding his wife being 10 years older
ShawnSpencerPsychic
I had to look it up. He was born in '77. She was born in '68.
Arbitrarynamehere
Idk maybe this is an unpopular opinion but adult actors are generally just better than teen actors anyway so I'm okay with this.
JustAnotherPOG
Plus you don't have to worry about child labor laws if you don't, you know, hire children.
cadesama
It's not like those laws do a good job protecting young actors
RecurringNightmare
its not about the age of the actors, its them being super fit because they are professional actors trying to land a role in hollywood while>
RecurringNightmare
>actual kids dont look anything like that...some skinny dude with pimples would be way more believable than some hunk with wide shoulders >
Arbitrarynamehere
I get all that but also you can just suspend disbelief and enjoy a better performance than have someone who aesthetically meets the role but
Arbitrarynamehere
Sucks comparatively as an actor giving a performance lol
RecurringNightmare
> and gigantic pecs...same for women obviously, teenage girls dont all have huge tits and wide hips...<<<
ElectricFops
Yup. You also typically don't need to concern yourself over the possibility of radical physical changes in your actors if the shows goes for
jalondon628
Half of Smallville was Lex Luthor obsessing unhealthily over a kid in high school.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
lol, my friends have serious, long convos about the new recruiting class of hs seniors and what school they'll go to. I like to point out ¹
NarratesTheDarkerStory
how hilarious it is to me, an outsider. Also how disturbing it is. so weird.
ballsoutflyer
Lex sorely needs a therapist.
Zestykitten
That's why the fandom shipped those two so much
Unclescam
And that's the least weird thing about that show...and it's cast...I'm talking about the cult.
HinderingB00m
Na he was obsessing over an alien with superpowers in highschool. Don't be out here VoldemortING Lex.
JohnMillswantstoupvote
I mean…if you knew this person was really an alien…wouldn’t you be obsessed
beoluves
Lexington was like a year or two older than him in the show, he was just too rich and intelligent for school it seems
Zestykitten
If I remember correctly Lex was 21 at the start of Smallville, Clark was supposed to be 14/15. He was a freshman season 1
beoluves
Yeah now that you mention it I think this is brought up like once. And also in the flashback when they first meet
aloharamada
Lexington? They fucking named him Lexington? Lex is short for Alexander in every other iteration of the character.
beoluves
Lol my autocorrect hates Luthor I guess
emptyhat
It outed your pet name for him. Good thing you didn't try talking about Lena and Supercore at the same time.
aloharamada
Oooh, I thought the show named him that, thanks for clarifying.
