22 Times Hollywood Cast Characters’ Younger Versions Flawlessly

Most Hollywood directors want viewers to become immersed in the plot of a film or TV show as if they were part of the story themselves. That is why scriptwriters, actors, designers, stylists, and a whole technical team work together to make each production special. And when it comes to giving consistency to a story, cast members are responsible for adding a touch of magic.

We at Bright Side were captivated by those times when casting was so perfect that they managed to mess with our minds. Join us to see which actors gave us the best versions of a character at different stages in its life, appearing to actually be the same person.
