Line 45:
* Inverted in ''[[Click]]'' where 19 year old Katie Cassidy plays the 27 year old version of Adam Sander's daughter
* Inverted in ''[[Crazy Stupid Love]]'' with 22 year old [[Emma Stone]] playing a character who is at least 25.
* ''[[Eurotrip]]'': Most of the actors playing 18-year-olds were in their
* ''[[The Roommate]]'' is pretty bad. Minka Kelly, born in 1980 and Leighton Meester, born in 1986, play college freshmen. Freshmen born during the setting of this film would have been born in 1992.
* Teen idol [[Elvis Presley]], in his 20s and beyond, would portray characters that were explicitly adolescent, such as in ''King Creole'' and ''Love Me Tender'', or age-unspecified young adults who live with their parents, aren't yet married, headed for college or the military, are newcomers on the entertainment scene, hold down jobs suitable for high school dropouts, and enjoy youthful beach parties.
Line 517:
** Donald Glover as well, who plays Troy, who start off as 20, while he's also in his mid-twenties. The real kicker is the fact that Gillian Jacobs, who's the same age as Brie and Glover, plays a character who's close to ten years old than Troy and Annie.
* ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'': One early episode states that Elly May is "almost eighteen". Donna Douglas was 29 at the time. Even more egregiously, her love interest in the episode, college-age Sonny Drysdale, was played by 49-year-old (and looked it) Louis Nye.
* A truly bizarre example from ''[[The West Wing]]''. In a season four episode, Joe Quincy is being assisted by a White House Aide whom He thinks looks about fourteen and who claims to be twenty-two. She is played by Kiersten Warren who was in her late thirties and looked it. The character is never seen again aside from that scene, almost pushing it into [[
* Gerard Campion, the star of the long-running BBC series about ''Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School'' (Bunter was in the fourth form), was 29 when he '''began''' playing the role. It lasted for close to a decade...
* ''[[Downton Abbey]]'' starts out by doing this; for example, Lady Sybil is 16 at the time the show begins, but played by the 21-year-old Jessica Brown Findlay. Since the show's time [[Dashed Plotline|progresses considerably faster than real time]], this doesn't last; by the end of season 2, Sybil has actually passed Findlay's real age.
Line 524:
* In the miniseries ''Love, Lies and Murder'', a woman is murdered and two teenage girls are involved. 24-year-old Sheryl Lee plays 17-year-old Patti Bailey, and 23-year-old Moira Kelly plays 14-year-old Cinnamon Brown.
* In the [[Britcom]] ''[[On the Buses]]'', ''Reg Varney'' played the role of Stan Butler, a bus driver in his late 20s, he was '''53''' years old when the series started.
* The core cast of the original ''[[Fame]]'' television series in the 80s suffered from
