Actors reveal surprising age gaps in parent-child roles

A recent discussion highlighted surprising age gaps between actors who played parent and child roles. Many instances show minimal age differences, challenging typical casting expectations. For example, Tom Holland was 25 while Emmy Rossum, his on-screen mother in *The Crowded Room*, was 35, just ten years apart. Similarly, Michael J. Fox was 23, and Crispin Glover, who played his father in *Back to the Future*, was only 20. Other notable pairings include Meryl Streep and Cher in *Mamma Mia!*, with only a three-year gap, and Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in *Indiana Jones*, where Connery was just 12 years older.
