If there's one thing a lot of people wish for more than anything, it's to look youthful. People spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on treatments to get a younger look, while others are naturally baby-faced. Those celebs that have this look have been getting away with playing the parts of high school students and teens in movies and shows, and we're just a little jealous. The actual ages of some of these stars may just surprise you, I know I was!
1. Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls was playing a 16-year-old student when in reality, she was 26 years old!
Maybe she didn't look 16, but she definitely looked young enough to play the part!
2. In High School Musical, obviously everybody in the movie was playing the part of teenagers, but Zac Efron was actually 19 years old and his high school days were behind him. Or so he thought.
3. America Ferrera was playing a 17-year-old in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but in reality, she was 21.
4. Remember That's So Raven? Raven-Symoné was 18 at the time she started filming but was actually playing a 14-year-old.
Oh snap!
5. Anne Hathaway was actually 19 years old when she played Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. Mia was supposed to be 16 at the time.
6. Leighton Meester played 16-year-old Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl when she was really 21 years old.
7. Nina Dobrev was 20 years old when she first appeared on The Vampire Diariesas a 16-year-old.
8. Cory Monteith was 27 years old when he started playing a teenage Finn Hudson on Glee.
Does anybody else miss Cory so much?
9. Gabrielle Union played a 17-year-old in Bring it On, but she was actually 28 years old in real life.
Talk about good genes!
10. For the record, this is what she looks like at 43.
Seriously. We're not joking.
11. Aria Montgomery was 16 years old when Pretty Little Liars first aired, but Lucy Hale was 22 years old in real life.
12. Troian Bellisario was 26 when she started playing 16-year-old Spencer Hastings on PLL.
13. Dylan O'Brien was 20 years old when he started playing 16-year-old Stiles Stilinski on Teen Wolf.
14. Tyler Posey was also 20 when he played a 16-year-old on Teen Wolf.
I can't get over that jaw line.
15. Bianca Lawson was 32 years old when she started playing Maya on Pretty Little Liars, but on screen, she was actually supposed to be 16 years old.
16. This is what she looks like when she's not on-screen. What a dramatic difference.
17. Brenda Song was actually 17 when she appeared on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as 15-year-old London Tipton.
18. Ian Somerhalder played a 16-year-old at the time on The Vampire Diaries, but he was actually 31.
The initial casting call for the character wanted an actor in their early to mid-twenties, but he clearly won them over.
19. Jason Earles played Jackson Stewart on Hannah Montana. During the show, Jackson was finished with high school and starting college, but Jason was really 29 years old at the time.
That's quite the age gap!
20. Alexis Bledel was 19 when she played 15-year-old Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls.
Who's excited about the show returning?
21. When she's not on set, she has a certain maturity that is stunning. It's unbelievable how she can transform like that.
22. Sarah Hyland started out by playing a teenager on Modern Family, but in reality, she was an adult! Believe it or not, she's 26 years old right now.
23. She has always been open about how youthful she looks and how it can work to her advantage to land younger roles!
24. SHARE if you had no idea that these actors were actually much older!
