10 Actors Too Young For The Roles They Played
5. Sally Field As Mrs. Gump
One of the most well known examples of an actor as a too young mom is from Forrest Gump (1994). Sally Field play Forrest's mother, despite only being 10 years older then Tom Hanks.
Because the film spans Forrest's childhood, Field's is given appropriately aged-up makeup and hair for her scenes with a grown Forrest. The problem is less in her depiction of Mrs. Gump, and more in the context. Only six years earlier Fields had played Hanks' love interest in Punchline.
