Geena Davis says a male actor told her she was 'too old' to be his love interest: 'I was 20 years younger' - Fox News

‘A certain male actor that was making a movie said that I was too old to be his romantic interest, and I was 20 years younger than him

She continues, “Women peak in their 20s and 30s, and men peak in their 40s and 50s as far as actors go

So the male stars of the movies want to appear to be younger than they are, or they want to appeal to younger people, so they always want a co-star who is really young
