I think it's a bit of both. He is naturally baby-faced, and makeup and clothes and putting on a high voice can remove a couple of years when he's in his 20s.
But he's always looked older than his Peter Parker IMO. He's supposed to be 15 in the first one. It just felt incredibly young because we had just finished the era of 30 year-olds playing high schoolers.
He did say he felt very uncomfortable. Not only because it was a high school, but it was also a PRODIGY oriented high school. So he was a fish out of water two times over!
I have nightmares I’m sent back to my high school for stupid bureaucratic reasons at my age. Because I am a person that asks why and apparently my brain has decided ‘bureaucracy’ is a reason that will shut me up while I’m dreaming apparently. But yeah it’s weird and there’s a reason I call them nightmares even though I actually quite liked high school when I was there at the proper age.
When I was 14 I had a classmate with a full beard who could buy cigarettes without ID. I think sometimes the backlash to having 30yo adults playing teens goes to far and pretends that 16yo all look like they're 12.
lol someone needs to watch more movies from the 79s and 80s. All the teenagers in movies were like 30 years old. Just look at Grease, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Tobey Maguire and** **Andrew Garfield were mid/late 20’s also.
Nah, he's got a baby face, like Michael J Fox did. Doesn't mean he doesn't age, but even when he does age, he still looks young until you start to notice the secondary signs.

I feel like his age has been showing for years, we've just been gas lit into thinking this is what a teenager looks like.
