"Older" actors who have played teenagers in some of the most iconic Hollywood films

The American Film Institute has compiled a ranking of the top 100 movie stars, both male and female.

To make the ranking, AFI adopted a chronological criterion: the debut on the movie screen had to be no later than 1950 or, if it was, the actor's career had to be ended permanently, due to his or her death.

The ranking therefore includes the best stars of the last century, who made the history of 20th century cinema.

If you are a movie buff, visiting the locations of your favorite movies can be an incredible experience.

Walking on the streets that have seen your favorite actors pass by, admiring the natural landscapes that served as the background for the most famous scenes, and recognizing the filming locations are just some of the thrills you can experience.

In this photo gallery we present you with some famous location from movies that you can't miss if you are a true cinephile, from the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand to the evocative city of New York and the romantic beaches of the Seychelles.

It is certainly not a recent trend that great actors devote themselves to a directing career. This trend has existed since the dawn of cinema, with silent films, and moreover, it is something that happens everywhere in the world, not just in the huge Hollywood show business.

Having been great actors, however, is no guarantee of becoming great directors. There are some exceptional cases, with actors who have become perhaps even greater behind the camera (Clint Eastwood, John Cassavetes, Charles Laughton, Charlie Chaplin), but not all of them make it to the Olympus in both roles.

Perhaps, however, the role of director is not immediately apparent to the general public, so it may have escaped the notice that these 10 great actors are also great directors.

There have been many iconic films featuring actors playing teenage characters, but in some cases these actors were significantly older than their characters.

This photo gallery features some "older" actors who played teenage roles in some of the most iconic films from Hollywood. Although these actors were not exactly teenagers when they played these roles, they still delivered convincing and memorable performances that have become an integral part of popular culture.

Let's find out together who these actors are and the roles they played. (Source: movieweb)

American actress and producer Julia Roberts was born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna in the state of Georgia.

Although she had her first major role in 1989 and won a Golden Globe for it, fame came the following year with "Pretty Woman," which made her the international and beloved star she still is.

In addition to fame, "Pretty Woman" brought Julia Roberts her second Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Talent is a passion that is passed on: it applies to music, to sport and, of course, also to acting.

There are several cases in which parents have shared the set with their children, either when the latter were just children or when the children were already established actors, with fathers and mothers older.

Here are some of the most famous cases where parents have acted with their children in the same film, sharing their lives not only in private, but also on the set!

Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead was born on 7 September 2006 in Nassau, Bahamas. She is the daughter of American photographer Larry Birkhead and model, actress and television personality Anna Nicole Smith.

Anna Nicole Smith began her career as a model for Playboy and for years she was recognised as a famous former Playmate. She came to the centre of news and gossip in 1994, when she married 89-year-old billionaire J. Howard Marshall. Following her husband's death, Anna Nicole Smith began a long legal battle for part of the inheritance. She later died tragically in 2007 of drug intoxication.

The paternity of her daughter Dannielynn Hope has long been controversial, taking several men to court.
