This is a 16 year old

...

It was a different time

Before they put the soy in the water supply

>he's cute

Unironically this. Teenagers in movies always looked like younger adults but now they look like they're fucking children.

Not any worse than pics related.

Look at Spider-Man 2002 high school kids vs homecoming 2017 high school kids. Or all the old slasher movies. Tina's character was 15 in a nightmare on elm street.

You guys are fucking retarded. You think they cast actual 16 year olds as 16 year olds?
>DER JOOSS

Is this the Quantum Leap episode where he becomes a child refugee migrating into Europe?

Not exactly your point, but I get what op is trying to say. Someone post that 30 year old Mel Gibson photo.

They may have been older IRL but the point is the actors were accepted as being teenagers showing that they fit in with the look of teenagers at the time.

30 years old 1980's it was a different time.

He was born in 1964 so he was 17-18 when this was filmed.

>you will never be based Spicoli

why even live?

I teach 16 year old guys in my school who look even older than him on this pic.

I mean he was 19/20 old when filming Birdy

he looked manly early on

Mel has a baby face in the original Mad Max and he was 20 something

It was a faster time

>tfw people would rather have terrible actors in their movies for "immersion"
Absolute fucking retards

When was the last time you’ve seen a highscooler?

Is this bait? Maguire was in his late 20s, almost 30when he played Parker and Amanda Wyss was in her mid 20s in Elm Street

Because they were younger adults

But people are hitting puberty at younger and younger ages (probably due to people reaching fat reserves necessary to trigger it earlier).

>this is an 18 year old

>this is a high school student

If his hair was short and those crazy ass side burns were shaved he would look pretty young.
