14 Actors Whose Actual Age Is Nowhere Near That of the Characters They’ve Played

The hardest part of an actor’s job is probably having to portray believable characters despite having next to nothing in common with them. Sometimes it goes as far as age — no matter if you’re playing someone who’s much older or much younger, it’s a great challenge. However, there are some brilliant actors that can convince us so successfully, that we believe they’re decades older or younger in their roles.

We at Bright Side decided to compare pics of movie characters and the actors who played them to see the difference.
