These 10 Characters Had Us All Fooled: They Are Way Younger Than You Think
We did the math, and these characters' ages surprised us.
Whether it's the way they dress or the way they act, these characters had us assuming they were a lot older than they were on these popular TV shows and movies.
1. Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction

24 years old
The cocaine-sniffing crime boss's wife was younger than we could have ever guessed. The failed actress overdosed and was stabbed in the chest with an adrenaline syringe on the same night, which is crazy knowing how young she was.
2. Meredith Blake in The Parent Trap
26 years old
We expected this sophisticated, manipulative gold-digging fiance to be 30-something. It was her mature style, elegant poise and personality that had us fooled, as she wormed her way into Nick's heart and waged war with his young twin daughters.
3. Claire in Outlander
26 years old
The fact that she is married and a nurse, who accidentally travels back in time during her second honeymoon convinced us that she was older than 26, as did her ability to balance two lives.
4. Uncle Jesse in Full House S1
24 years old
Most uncles aren't in their early 20's and stepping up to help their family after a tragedy, but this is just what Jesse did. Although his bad boy style and motorbike did hint that he was young.
5. Jim in The Office S1
26 years old
His intelligence, corporate attire and being surrounded by older colleagues had us convinced the mild-mannered salesman was a lot older than he was.
6. Robin in How I Met Your Mother
25 years old
The aspiring Canadian journalist looks and acts older from the get-go, and seems to have her life more in order than most her age. Most of her friends were 27, which had us putting her at least 2 years older than what she was.
7. Andrea Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada
23 years old
Her high-paced job and the ultra-demanding boss had us assuming she was on the higher end of the 20's, as she juggled her job, love life and family relationships like a real 'grown-up.'
8. Pam Beesly in The Office S1
25 years old
The quiet and put-together receptionist seemed mature beyond her years. We would have guessed her age to be about 30, but it turns out we were just a little off. Maybe she and Jim in their corporate attire and office setting throw us off.
9. Cameron Diaz in My Best Friend's Wedding
20 years old
We never would have thought that her character getting ready to say 'I do' had barely left her teen years behind, especially since her fiance was 28.
10. Julia Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding
27 years old
Roberts' timeless elegance and character's career as a well-respected food critic had us guessing that she was at least 30-something as she tried to sabotage Cameron Diaz's character's wedding.
