Lee Pace in the father's role


Just a small thought, isn't Lee Pace kinda young to be playing the role of a dad of 3 kids?

Not that there's anything wrong or if he does a bad job, in fact, he's pretty great :)

He's 31, but looks very much older for his age. The teenager daughter is slightly unbelievable ... Then again, who cares.

reply

Haha yeah, I thought about that for the teenage daughter part too ... nothing important but its interesting for observation

reply

The two younger children I could sort of buy, but he does seem to young to have a teenage daughter...unless his character was a teenager when he became a father I suppose.

He was 5 years old when he got married, 7 when the teenage daughter was born. What's not to believe?

BTW, I bet that in a couple of years, that teenager will be playing his love interest. How sick is that?

reply

He wasn't very good in this one.

reply

Well he might have adopted her. He does look too young tho.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Why does every father in these kind of films looks like some kind of gay JC Penny catalog model?

reply

LOL. got a good laugh from that one. He does not look like a gay JC Penny catalog model. But I do see where your coming from, he does look squeaky clean-cut in this movie. Very different from his rugged nomadic vampire Garrett in breaking dawn.

He does look kinda young looking for a teenage daughter in this movie. Facial hair could have helped a bit, but I don't think kids movie like facial hair on men, unless he's the villain or something.

Plus this IS a kids movie. What 4-12 year old is going to do the math.

The younger two I believed but the teenaged daughter seemed out of place for him. I honestly thought they would make a comment about him being her stepfather or something - rather than her bio dad.

At the end when he talks to the daughter's beau he seemed awkwardly young to have a kid that age.
