Three Actors Who Were Just Too Old For Their Roles

Three Actors Who Were Just Too Old For Their Roles

Actors too old for their roles could be a list with hundreds of names, but I wanted to focus on three specific examples where the actor’s age destroyed any chance the film had at being good. Even if everything else was perfect with these three films it wouldn’t have mattered because the person in the leading role is just too distracting. So you’re not going to see something like Mean Girls or Grease on this list.

Check out the video above for the full breakdown with plenty of clips of fully grown men pretending to be children. All three of these films could have worked if it weren’t for the lead role being twice the age of the character they’re playing.
