What's the worst case of "the actor is playing way older than their character is"?


For me it's "Terminator 2". Edward Furlong was 14 when he played John Connor and his character is 10. Throughout the movie, there isn't a single moment where I felt he was 10 years old.

A 60-year old Joan Crawford playing a 24-year-old in the soap The Secret Storm (filling in for her daughter).

Did they think no one would notice?

Maybe the idea was to draw viewers because it was so noticeable?🤷‍♀️
