13 Actors Who Were Far Older Than Their Teenage Characters

Real age 26, Character Peter Parker 17

The first of two Peter Parkers to make the list, Tobey Maguire was the first actor to take on the super-teen on the big screen. Tobey Maguire was 26 when he played 17 year old Peter Parker, school nerd and eventual hero of New York. The age difference did come in handy in subsequent films however, as the series tracks Parker’s life over a few years.
