Best Cast Younger Versions Of TV & Movie Characters
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which actors were the best-cast younger versions of a character. Here are 28 of their top responses: "Violet McGraw as Yelena Belova in Black Widow and Thunderbolts." —Anonymous "Lindsey Gort as Samantha (Kim Cattrall) on The Carrie Diaries. She looked so much like SATC Samantha and had the Samantha vibe for sure; it was uncanny. I did a double-take in the first couple of episodes of The Carrie Diaries." —Anonymous, 45, Oregon "Azriel Dalman in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV show! If you told me that Walker Scobell and he were siblings, I'd believe it!" —rainbowqueen13 "Kyra Adler and Sydney Sweeney as Cassie from Euphoria." —Anonymous, 18, Nice, France "I thought Tom Blyth did an amazing job as the younger President Snow in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. He certainly looked the part, but more importantly, he'd clearly studied how Donald Sutherland played the part before him in intricate detail, as he got his mannerisms, voice, and even the tiniest glances and inflections spot on. It wasn't a carbon copy of his performance, but a realistic portrayal of someone who still has many things to experience and a lot of life to live through before becoming the older version of themself. I'm really interested to see how Ralph Fiennes will play the middle-aged version of the character in Sunrise on the Reaping." —Anonymous, 41, UK "It's obviously Jaidan Jiron as young Cece (Hannah Simone) in New Girl." —Anonymous, 33, Washington "Jack Dylan Grazer as a young Timothée Chalamet in Beautiful Boy." —Anonymous, 18, New Jersey "In A League of Their Own, Geena Davis's older version of her [Lynn Cartwright] was so close that I thought it was Geena just made up older!" —sharpjester79 "Older and younger Kaz Brekker (Fflyn Edwards and Freddy Carter) in Shadow and Bone." —Anonymous, 28, Tennessee "Mythic Quest Season 3, Episode 7 — Isla Rose Hall plays a young version of Poppy Li (played by Charlotte Nicdao). The physical appearance is good, but it is the acting that nails it. The mannerisms and voice patterns convince you that you have gone back in time to see Charlotte Nicadao as a child." —radmagazine667 "Michael Fassbender as Magneto [a role Patrick Stewart originated in X-Men] was pretty much peak in X-Men: First Class." —sonictiger "McKenna Grace and Kate Siegel in The Haunting Of Hill House was PERFECT." —misaamaneyagami "McKenna Grace as Caroline Forbes (Candice King) from The Vampire Diaries." —Anonymous, 15, Portugal The three Righteous Gemstones kids, especially J. Given Wilde as young Danny McBride. He has his cadence and mannerisms absolutely nailed." —barbiesdreamhouse "Snow White in Once Upon a Time. Bailee Madison was the perfect casting for the young Snow White. She looks just like a younger version of Ginnifer Goodwin." —Anonymous, 41, Michigan "Viola Prettejohn as young Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) in The Crown. They look so alike that I genuinely thought they used CGI to de-age her, and my mind was blown when I found out it was actually a completely different person." —Anonymous, 39, Massachusetts "Sheldon from Young Sheldon [Iain Armitage] and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory [Jim Parsons]. They never fail to deliver a good laugh." —crispyeggplant465 "Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse from Yellowjackets! But you could say that for the whole cast — the casting director ATE!!!!!" —Anonymous, 23, Canada "Colin Ford as a young Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) in Supernatural always gave me chills." —Anonymous "Harrison Ford in The Age of Adaline. Anthony Ingruber absolutely nailed the voice. If you closed your eyes, I'm not sure if you'd know the difference!" —buttercupbailey "On Orange is the New Black, a lot of their casting is pretty spot-on for past iterations of the characters, but Barb and Carol Denning were so accurate, it was spooky. I had to look it up to see if they were actually related to their grown counterparts!" —Anonymous, 34 Boston, MA "The younger version of Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (Christopher Serrone), I always thought was a good shout." —barbiesdreamhouse "Taylor Henderson as young Winifred Sanderson (Bette Midler) in Hocus Pocus 2." —Anonymous, 48 GA "Tiffany Boone and AnnaSophia Robb in Little Fires Everywhere. They were the perfect casting for Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. Especially Tiffany Boone; she had Kerry's personality and mannerisms down to a T." —Anonymous, 29, Houston, TX "Josh Brolin as young(er) Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) in Men in Black III." —luckycat32 "Ben Savage as a younger Gideon on Criminal Minds. He and Mandy Patinkin could be related." —Anonymous "Walker Scobell as the young version of Ryan Reynolds's character Adam Reed in The Adam Project. He characterized him so perfectly, and the two actors are so alike in real life too — just watch Walker's Kraft Mac and Cheese commercial." —Anonymous And finally: "The casting of Now & Then was amazing! I feel like the legendary actors they used as the women when they were grown (Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, and Rosie O'Donnell) did such great jobs embodying their younger selves' characters as adults. Their appearances, mannerisms, and personalities were all perfectly matched. The child actors (Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman, Ashley Aston Moore, and Christina Ricci) were, and are, incredible actresses in their own right. All around, it was such an amazing movie because of the excellent casting." —awfulhouse65 Which other casting choices would you add to this list? Let us know in the comments!

23 Iconic TV And Movie Prom Looks Ranked From "Burn It" To "Bury Me In It"
Just so you know, this ranking includes outfits from proms, homecomings, dances from outside the US, and all other types of formal high school soirées, because there are some iconic looks that deserve a spot on the list, even if they don't technically appear in a prom scene. And now, without any further ado, an entirely subjective ranking of 23 iconic onscreen prom looks from "mediocre" to "literally what dreams are made of." 23. Andie Walsh's DIY two-dresses-in-one mashup from Pretty in Pink. I want to like this dress so badly, because Andie made it herself, and that deserves a near-endless amount of kudos. But... ...I just don't! From the high lace neckline to the poof-forward sleeves to the polka dot pattern to the way it fits, nothing here is working for me. 22. Josie Geller's Renaissance gown from Never Been Kissed. I love a statement sleeve (and a statement dress), but the pink and green color scheme, along with the sheer amount of lace, is alarming to me. That being said, this dress is supposed to be a costume. While it's not my personal style, as a former drama kid I can only imagine how much fun it would be to wear it onstage and feel Shakespearean as hell. 21. Carrie Bradshaw's senior prom look from The Carrie Diaries. Oh, boy. Carrie, you grow into a fashion icon, but now is not your time. The random swirling pattern is what takes it from "quirky" to "bad" for me. It just looks like the carpet of your local bowling alley. If you're curious, these dresses are arranged from left to right in the order of how much I like them. 20. Rory Gilmore's vintage throwback dress from Gilmore Girls. First of all: Love the boots. Second of all: Eh. I just can't condone a navy prom dress. Maybe it's my long history of having to wear school uniforms, but I don't associate this color with joyful self-expression. 19. Erin Quinn's turquoise gown from Derry Girls. Here's the problem with this outfit: Erin is clearly uncomfortable in it, and that violates the First Commandment of Clothes. That's why it's such a relief when she changes out of this perfectly-nice-but-not-Erin dress and into... ...her Easter frock. I don't like how this dress looks, nor does Erin, but that's not really the point. She obviously feels way better in it than she did in her blue gown, and that makes it a good outfit. 18. Bella Swan's modest, "I almost died, so yeah I'm wearing leggings to the prom" outfit from Twilight. Summit Entertainment I know that Bella's been through a lot, and she's dealing with a healing broken leg, but this look is just unforgivably bland. Summit Entertainment The movie doesn't dwell on this outfit, because I think it knows it could've done better. The blue tiered dress underneath the cardigan (*shiver*) is fine, but it's more "guest at an acquaintance's wedding" than "teenage girl going out with the immortal love of her life." Summit Entertainment I'd like to get on the record that I'm not opposed to cardigans in general; I'm just opposed to them in this specific context. The last thing I want is to have Big Wool after me. 17. Sharpay's hot pink performance dress from High School Musical 3. I've never seen High School Musical 3, but as far as I can tell, the musical is about their prom? So even though this is a costume, I'm counting it. While I love the matching gloves, the rest of the dress isn't working for me. The tulle peaking out of the skirt seems like an afterthought, and since this is Sharpay, after all, I would expect more bedazzling than the few little stones on the bodice. 16. Buffy's lavender rhinestoned gown from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Mutant Enemy Productions I said lavender, but it may be mauve, which I think is basically lavender that's feeling a bit under the weather. When I first saw it, I definitely didn't love it, but it's fine. Completely acceptable. And then... Mutant Enemy Productions BAM! It's got a giant A bustle? I get the need for drama, but this actively makes the dress worse. Mutant Enemy Productions It looks off-centered and a bit haphazard, like the wardrobe department had to pin it up to make sure it didn't drag too much. The reveal of the bustle (I'm just going with it now) happens to coincide with one of the show's most heartwarming moments: Buffy receiving the "Class Protector" award. And to be honest, it's a touch distracting. Mutant Enemy Productions This dress receives extra points for being in one of the series' best scenes, and negative points for committing the crime of bustle in the first degree. 15. Liz's "I'm blissfully ignorant of my father's super-villainy" party dress from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Marvel / There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a little plain, and comes across as more "interview" than "party." Marvel / The length and overall shape of it are cute, though. I just wish there was a statement accessory. Maybe something that says, "My dad is an illegal arms dealer, and until that meddling Spider-Man showed up, he was doing pretty well for himself." Marvel And I can't with flats. I don't like how they look, and I don't like how the flat industry lies to us and tells us that they're more comfortable than heels. They're not! They're just uncomfortable in new and innovative ways! 14. Gabriella Montez's fluffy white dress from High School Musical 3. Disney Just like Sharpay's look above, this dress is a costume from the high school musical about prom that features prominently in the high school musical High School Musical 3. That makes sense, right? Disney I love the thin little feathers attached to this dress, and it has great movement while Gabriella dances. But there's nothing particularly special about it, either. It's the sort of dress you'd try on, like, and then forget about five dresses later. Disney The feathers attached to the shoes are a brilliant touch, though. 13. Mercedes' purple gown from Glee. 20th Century Fox This dress is definitely of an era (specifically, the late '00s), and while that era may have passed, it's still a statement gown that looks great on Mercedes. 20th Century Fox This is without a doubt a prom dress, as in, it's a dress that would be completely out of place in any scenario other than a high school prom. It's a look you only get one or two chances to pull off, and Mercedes recognized that and delivered. 20th Century Fox 12. Regina George's satin minidress from Mean Girls. Paramount Pictures Side note: I've never noticed before that Amy Poehler is also wearing a prom dress in this scene. It's a perfect character moment, and I have no notes. It's not quite the bombshell look you'd expect from a Queen Bee, but as Cady points out, Regina still looks this good after fracturing her spine, so credit where credit is due. Paramount And the flowers adorning Regina's brace move it from "cute but forgettable" to "movie costume Hall of Famer." Paramount 11. Kat Stratford's reluctant prom attendee dress from 10 Things I Hate About You. Buena Vista Pictures It's sophisticated and mature, like Kat herself, but just a little too drab for my tastes. Buena Vista Pictures The pearls and shawl age up this look considerably. (The pearls are significant because they belonged to Kat's mother, but aesthetically I'm not into their use here.) Also, that hair looks like it would be painful. I got an updo for one of my proms, and it wasn't anywhere near as elaborate as Kat's, but I still spent around 30 minutes afterward pulling out bobby pin after endless bobby pin. Buena Vista Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection 10. Santana's mermaid gown from Glee. 20th Century Fox Again, this dress is from a period piece, and the period is "10 years ago." But while the ruching is a little extreme, the dress as a whole is dramatic and fun. 20th Century Fox The single shoulder strap of fake roses is pretty spectacular too. 20th Century Fox 9. Sandy's simple white dress from Grease. Paramount I like this dress because I feel like dresses like this don't really exist anymore, outside of the costume closets of regional theater companies that have recently done Grease. Paramount / Courtesy Everett Collection I'm not a big fan of the embellishments around the waist, since they come across as a little flower girl-y, but this dress has so much movement that it just seems fun to wear. Paramount / Courtesy Everett Collection Plus those white patent leather dance shoes are absolutely adorable and would make such a satisfying sound while you walked across the gym floor. 8. Toni Topaz's beaded ensemble from Riverdale. CW I remember trying on dresses like this! The heavily embellished top combined with a chic black skirt make for a glamorous combination. CW I'm biased, because I wore a black prom dress, but can I just say, I love a black prom dress! CW 7. Sam Montgomery's Cinderella costume from A Cinderella Story. Warner Bros. Pictures This gown is objectively a totally absurd thing to wear to a costume party. But it's sort of magical because of its absurdity. Warner Bros. Pictures The transition from lace to rhinestones on the bodice is a bit clumsy, though. Warner Bros. Pictures But the best part of this ensemble is definitely our Cinderella's early 2000s glass slipper: Her star-studded, ankle-holstered cellphone. Warner Bros. Pictures When Sam has to leave the party before midnight, it's this phone that her Prince Charming discovers. (Prince Charming is Chad Michael Murray dressed in a very convenient Prince Charming costume.) 6. Blair Waldorf's gold-embroidered peacock gown from Gossip Girl. CW This dress is as rich kid ridiculous as you'd expect, and then some. But that doesn't mean it's not beautiful. CW I could see someone wearing this to a bird-themed Met Gala and not making waves, exactly, but getting a respectful "they understood the assignment" from Twitter. And extremely expensive prep schools always have the best prom queen tiaras. CW 5. Emma and Alyssa's sparkly/retro looks in The Prom. Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection What I like about these outfits is that they take the traditionally masculine (suits, sneakers, a boutonniere)... Netflix ...and the traditionally feminine (pink, glitter, a corsage)... Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection ...and then individualize and subvert those traditions to create looks that are equal parts unique, queer, and fun as hell. They're not my personal style, but they're undeniably their characters'. Netflix Out of the two, Alyssa's glittery party dress is probably my favorite, though you can't deny the fact that Emma would become an instant school legend for that powder blue tux. These outfits also don't take themselves too seriously, which is a common onscreen prom pitfall. Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection It's a dance, not a State Dinner. 4. Tina's second prom dress from Season 5 of Glee. 20th Century Fox So Tina walks into prom wearing this... 20th Century Fox ...but then she gets doused in red goo, Carrie -style, so she changes into this. 20th Century Fox Stop Carrie -ing your classmates, everyone! I love this dress. I love its length, its color, its commitment to its shininess. The only thing I'm not totally on board with is the pieces of unadorned fabric crisscrossing the bodice, but I'm willing to forgive that, because this is adorable. 20th Century Fox 3. Carrie's sweet pre-telekinetic rampage look from Carrie. Red Bank Films / Courtesy Everett Collection Is this dress seconds away from being drenched in pig's blood? Yes. But does that mean we can't appreciate it, prior to it being drenched in pig's blood? No! Here's Carrie's (nearly identical) dress from the 2013 remake. Sony Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection The shape of the dress (and Carrie's hair) are pretty damn close to the 1976 version, though the choice of fabric modernizes the look slightly. It looks like velour to me, but that's just a guess. It ends badly for everyone, but I appreciate this look's simplicity. It's pretty, you can dance in it, and it looks great with a crown: What's not to like? (That '70s prom tux. That's what.) Red Bank Films / Courtesy Everett Collection That being said, I've never loved the whole shawl thing. You can't make me carry around a long, unattached piece of fabric and not expect me to a) trip over it and b) wave it around like I'm one of those Olympic ribbon dancers. 2. Bianca Stratford's hot pink tutu look from 10 Things I Hate About You. Buena Vista Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection Employee at the Prom Dress Store: How much tulle are you looking for? Bianca: Yes. Folks, it's time for some separates. The crop top + big skirt was a huge prom trend when I was in high school, though I never saw it executed with a floor length tutu, unfortunately. Buena Vista Pictures From the pink rhinestone necklace to the tiny useless bag to the shiny satin top: Bianca committed, and she looks great. The thin silver headband doesn't quite match with the rest of the look (not that that's inherently a problem; it's just, the rest of this look matches). Buena Vista Pictures OK, fine, I'll admit it: I mostly included this image to remind you that Bianca's wearing this outfit when she breaks the nose of her (and Kat's) shitty ex-boyfriend. She's defending her honor, her sister's, and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt's, all at once. It's perfect. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the culmination of it all, the crème de la crème of the prom genre, my number-one pick for the best onscreen prom dress... MTV / 1. Cheryl Blossom's bombshell gown from Riverdale. CW This dress delivers both in its overall impression and in its details. I love the back, and the bow at the waist is an unexpected (but welcome) nod to an earlier era of prom dresses. CW The drama of this look is exquisite, and not only because she's modeling it in her creepy family mansion. This is the dress you wear for tearful declarations of love, for accepting your Oscar, for getting interviewed before you enter the Hunger Games. Prom is built up, rightly or wrongly, as a big moment in a young person's life, and this dress — nay, this gown — is made for a Big Moment and is itself one. CW It may be more at home on the red carpet than in a high school gym, but it's too gorgeous to not take the top spot.

Austin Butler becomes latest celebrity victim of Los Angeles home burglaries
Austin Butler has reportedly become the latest high-profile victim of Los Angeles home burglaries. On Monday, the Oscar-nominated actor's security team discovered that a glass door in his home had been shattered, law enforcement sources told TMZ. Upon entering the house, a security guard found the place had been ransacked, according to the report. Several items were reported missing, including a gun and cash, TMZ sources said. When authorities responded to the residence, they did not find any suspects, and no arrests have been made so far. The investigation remains ongoing, according to TMZ, which reports that the Elvis star, 33, was out of the country during the incident. The Independent has contacted Butler's representative for further comment. The rising Hollywood star, best known for his roles in Baz Luhrmann's 2022 Elvis Presley biopic, Dune: Part Two, Sex and the City's prequel series, The Carrie Diaries, and 2023 crime-thrillerThe Bikeriders, is just the latest celebrity to have his L.A. home burglarized. In February, French soccer star Olivier Giroud had $500,000 worth of valuables stolen from his L.A. home. At the time, TMZ Sports reported that the striker's wife called the Los Angeles Police Department after finding a smashed window on their property. The stolen items included jewelry and more than 10 watches, according to the outlet. Meanwhile, last summer, ABC News reported that more than a dozen home break-ins had been reported in the San Fernando Valley. That August, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson's L.A. guest home, which is located next to the couple's main home, was burgled. The couple were away during the incident. Other celebrities who've faced similar home break-ins include Bhad Bhabie, Sarah Hyland, and Marlon Wayans.
