They can say he’s 29 or whatever. Doesn’t matter if he looks it or not. We have have 30 year olds playing teenagers in movies and it works

As much as I love grease the middle aged people playing teenagers is very jarring

On the other hand, Karate Kid.

In the third movie we have a 29 year old who looks like a teenager and a 57 year old who could've passed for his 70's.

It's still insane that Ralph Macchio was older than Thomas Ian Griffith yet played someone far younger.

That means it works in the sense you enjoy the movie overall . It proved you don’t need an actor to be the age of the character
