I've been watching the show on Hulu and was just curious ....

How much older is Lex supposed to be than Clark ??

In the first season...

Lex is supposed to be 21. Rosenbaum was closer to 30 irl.
Clark is supposed to be 14. Welling was closer to 25 irl.

Glaringly obvious especially with Welling but their chemistry makes you forget about the age gap.

A 21 year old hanging out with a 14 year old, no wonder Jonathan Kent hated Lex haha

Yeah, the whole age difference thing is kinda weird.

[–] AdtjosMS89 7 years ago

Yeah I assumed it was like 2 or 3 years. But 7 years! Weird!

I assumed Clark was 15 since most teenage shows with older actors star at that age.
