Wolf looks super old


I know the actor is 27, but he looks a lot older than 27 to me I'd believe you if you told me he was 37...he just seems way too old for the part and it is kinda creepy.

It didn't seem that way to me in the film. I didn't get a creepy vibe off him at all. Just a more life experience vibe.

Really? I don't think he looks "super-old" at all. I think he could easily pass for 20s or 30s.

i agree, he looks old and he could easily pass for 30s. if the protag character is 17... it def gives me creep vibes

I think Andrew just doesn't like seeing a native-american get a pretty white girl.

Did you even see the movie? Race was an issue right there before your eyes. Both Jane and Bitsy reacted negatively towards Davey being with a Native American man.

Nope, he definitely looked like he was pushing 30. The protagonist looked a lot younger than 17. It seemed a little skeevy.

I am 40 years old who read this book several times when I was a pre-teen/teen. To me, he looks like he is (at the most) in his mid-20's. I can't remember the age he was supposed to be in the book though. Anyways, I couldn't help but notice how good looking he is.

He did look too old, however he's a popular Native American actor. His Dad Russell was also in the movie. He has since passed, but he was big as well. It probably helped to reach the Native American fans.

I agree with OP. As the mom of a 17 year old, to me this guy does seem too old for her. They should have gone with a younger looking actor.

Really? I thought he had a total baby face. I was surprised to find out he was 27 when the movie was made.

His character was supposed to be college aged since he was attending Cal Tech and that's made pretty clear in the movie. Willa Holland was 21 at the time, playing a 17 year old.

In any case, the two characters were bonding in a totally emotional, non-creepy way so I don't really mind any age difference.



Happy birthday to the ground!
