Jeremy Piven looks way too old


Jeremy Piven is cast as a senior, who are usually 21-22 years old. He looks way too old to be playing someone that age. He was around 30 at the time and looked every bit of 30. When I was a Sr in college there was a 30 year old student and he looked ancient in our young eyes.

I think that's supposed to be part of the gag. He says something about his "third sophomore year" when he watches the feminist drum protest.

Pretty much this. He'd been ensconced in that school for years.

Ala Van Wilder, who was in college seven years or something to that effect...and also why they have everything dialed-in, and why everyone follows them.

That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.




Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Did Ryan Reynolds copy his schtick from Jeremy Piven in PCU?

He's in one of the photos in the first hallway of the house, form IIRC 1985. He's just been there forever.

Droz said that he was a student for 7 years. Piven was about 27 when the movies was filmed so it isn't that far off. He does look really old even for mid 20s but he actually was in his mid 20s.

reply

He's one of those people who looked 45 in his 20s and stayed looking more ore less the same until his looks caught up to his actual age.

There are many people in their late twenties, thirties, forties, and even older in college. I started college when I was thirty-six and graduated when I was forty, and I was by no means alone in my age group. Whether or not a thirty-year-old looks ancient in the eyes of a kid just out of high school, there are plenty of them going to colleges everywhere.

i guess he's going to be there the next year too
