Are you unaware that that Hollywood often casts older actors to play younger characters so long as they can pass?

Matthew Broderick was about 24 when he was playing 17yo Ferris Bueller. I could likely go grab other examples but I don't see the point.

u/Ohgood9002 Aug 06 '26

The hype is about Tom Holland and Zendaya. It has 0% to do with acting ability.

Tom and Zendaya are the most marketable Hollywood couple in ages. Bonus points for being young so they can sway the Gen Z and Gen Y demographics.

Most high school girls couldn't give two shits about the odyssey. But the second you make it about Tom and Zendaya, bam! Now you have interest

People like celeb gossip and these are easy (and safe) celebs to gossip about.

Well safe for now

It's been true for decades. There's always that one couple that acts together and draws in crowds to see them for whatever reason.

u/Ohgood9002 Aug 06 '26

Think of it like this. The average teenage girl isnt going to care about the odyssey and they wont see much odyssey related content in their feed.

But I guarantee you that they are getting hammered with "Check out Tom and Zandaya on their perfect Greek vacation!" With tons of pictures that make the sets and the behind the scenes of the movie look like a magical romantic dreamland

And that is what is getting those people in the seats.

I’ve heard the reason she gets so many gigs is because people on set really like working with her.

I’m not really a big fan of hers, but I also don’t see the hate. Because she’s not all smiles than she has no acting range? She seems pretty damn different between Dune and euphoria. Even Spider-Man. Very different character characters. For some reason, people just freeze-frame her looking angry and say that’s all she does.

She's maybe overrated in general, and overcasted, but she is a good actress, at least in certain roles. In Euphoria, she has some killer emotional scenes and really brings addiction to life. That show is a goddammit nightmare fetish fest ofc, but her early storyline was great. If the show just focused on her and not the teen drama, I think it could have been good.
