I ’m honestly surprised byHigh School Musical …
Let’s begin by saying that age gap relationships aren’t inherently bad (if everyone’s a consenting adult), and acting, is, well,acting.Sometimes, the age gap becomes a major, self-aware point in the film; it’s not always an unconscious decision, and it’s not always presented as a good thing.
With that said, it’s still amazing just how often Hollywood casts actors with significant age gaps to play love interests on-screen. So, we thought we’d share just a few:
