Johnny Depp is 19 years older than Rebecca Hall...
But they both looked the same age.
He was 51 in this; she 32.
Hollywood regularly casts women who are 20 or more years younger than their co-stars. Scarlett Johanson was only 18 when she was paired with 50 year old Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.
The oldest a lead, love interest actress might be is late 30's (Rachel McAdams still pulls is off since she has always looked so young) but most have little to no career after reaching 40 (Meg Ryan and Renee Zellweger are non entities anymore). Actresses like Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren are rare.
They also cast 25-year-olds as high school students. And people wonder why there is such a warped perception of reality.

I couldn't agree more. In the Space Between Us the lead actress is 26 and playing a sophomore or junior in high school I believe. It definitely warps what people and ESP girls who are 16 think they should look like at that age. Are there no actresses closer to that age they couldn't find? I posted on another thread about it and was told she looks young so it was ok and to get over it. But I think it sends the wrong message to our youth of what they should or should not look like, much like Beverly Hills 90210 did back in the day. share
