Still playing teens?


She's practically middle-aged in Hollywood, so why does she think she can keep up the facade of playing characters she is too old for?

25 in Hollywood is not middle aged. 25 in Hollywood is more like 16. We live in an age now where young actors in their twenties are still playing younger parts. Most actors in their twenties play teen roles regardless of how youthful you look.

Yes it is. Actors and actresses play younger characters all the time, but Hollywood doesn't value characters or storytelling after a certain age. Twenty-somethings might be playing teens, but twenties and thirties in Hollywood are what forties and fifties are to average corporate America workers: you get a lot of ample opportunities and you hit your earning peak, but the industry wants you gone after a certain age. She is wasting her best years playing vapid roles.

Like everyone here told you now in this new Hollywood era you don't grow up acting wise till you are in your 30s.
