Given that 'top 10 oldest' is in the title, you'd expect the actors to actually get older as you go up the list..

emilia Clarke surprised me because I didn't realize that danearys was supposed to be a teenager

Bianca Lawson should be number 1! She looks younger now than she did then! 20 years as a teenager! C'MON!

If we're gonna talk about Game of Thrones cast members, Natalie Dormer started playing a teenage Margaery Tyrell at about 30.

[bicooo]

I think many of them look their age and it's ridiculous they're supposed to be teenagers, but I would never have guessed Lane from Gilmore girls was 27 in 2000!

[penguinbear]

Who else clicked this because they saw Daenerys?

[dibujosanimados]

they always pick someone that isn't a teenager because teenagers can't act like teenagers, apparently.

[marijanamartinovic]

I am actually surprised there's no one from Teen Wolf

[SamAdamsDesigns]

"10 actors who were 26 or 27 when portraying high school students." lol

What about Thomas Brodie-Sangster who is playing a 16 year old in the maze runner series (he's almost 27) he doesnt age either !!

[lisahallquist]

[PsilocybeJedi]

How about everyone from Grease lol those greasers looked 40

[yunggumby]

Did anyone else just click on this video because Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) was on the thumbnail?

[eeeeeeeeeeeee]

The first moment I saw Cory in this video, I felt like crying a bit. R.I.P Cory Monteith, we'll love you forever.

I have never seen "Game of Thrones" but it just seems like everyone's always naked and everyone dies.

Tom Welling was 24 when he played 15 year old Clark Kent. Not even an honorable mention?
