not every popular girl is mean like in mean girls they just turn mean because every puts out that if you popular you mean or they start being mean cause people start hating on them
You can like a character without having to like them as a person, it's kinda like Wednesday Addams, she's an iconic character but irl nobody would like her and she wouldn't be nice to any of the people who enjoy watching her either
Maddie was kind in the show, she really got wrapped up in drama because of Nate. She was the center point of different kinds of people of different groups being in one group. I knew girls like Maddie, they’re popular coz they’re nice to everyone. If you cross them tho, you end up like Cassie 🤷🏽♀️ they just live by that respect system lol
I think she’s very convincing as a teenager. She looks mature in the way that some teenagers do. It’s difficult to explain but she looks like one of those girls at school who look much older than they are lol.
That so true when I was in high school (graduating class of 2019) my classmates who are 1 or 2 younger than me look much older than I am. They will tan a lot and put on heavy make up which makes them look older than I was. There I was 4ft something asian chick with serious baby cheeks will be mistaken as year 7 or 8 (freshman or junior) all the time by teachers even I was in year 12 (senior)
Nah, it’s proven men love 22-27 years old more than any other age range. Age matters. Go ahead and date an 80 year old with a stunning personality if that was true.
She's 31 but easily passes 20. That's the power of skin care edit: Alexa has openly said in interviews that since she was a child her mother always told her to apply sunscreen and other skin care tips. I commented this because skin care does have proven positives effects on the skin if you manage to stick to a routine. I will not respond to further comments.
i honestly think real teenagers of this age shouldn't be playing a role in euphoria. i mean the show's isn't really age appropriate, kind of sexualising minors.
They should've made this set in university, having it as a high school story just stretches the limits of credibility. And the cast would actually look like they fit. It's ridiculous seeing them look like they're going to the club while the randos around them look like normal kids. And they never look like they go to class, which is more believable for college students.
@Anthy Avila I was in high school in the 90's and we had kids that behaved like they do on Euphoria then. I know with the way children are raised now things have only got worst which makes it believable
Y'all make it seem like she's old, like senior citizen. She looks stunning, she's thriving, and plays her role well. Maybe she looks older than 17, BUT she can technically get away with it. She looks gorgeous 💕

looked a little old to be playing a 17 year old what do they mean alexa still looks like she’s 16 second off that’s not why they wanted to know her age. They wanted to know her age because it was unknown unlike the rest of the cast
She’s nowhere near too old to play a 17 year old. It’s clear if you have a look they are going for - that’s all that matters. Only the surface thinkers think age stops opportunities.
She has good genes in her family if her parents don’t look old. She’s going to look like that for a long time and that is a good genetic thing to have. I wouldn’t want to look old as a 30 year old. And that’s what compliments her genes because instead she looks 20.

@@zeep_-rn6xp the whole reason teens mainly look like this is probably cuz of the impact of this show. Not saying teens never wore makeup back then, but it’s never been as big with the rise of social media and especially now with euphoria, and everyone wanting to copy their rhinestone makeup look. So the show plays a big part on teens looking like this in the first place.
i mean it doesn't really matter as long as she perfectly suits the role and she look "enough" like what the character should look, end of the conversation.
Problem with looking younger than you actually are: young guys will want you. Most guys that approach me are 18/19 and I’m 25. Like pls stop ✋🏻 Especially when they look older it becomes a problem, like I’m thinking a 25 year old guy is talking to me and suddenly they’re like “oh yeah I’m 19, how old are you?” So awkward
@@scionixx9568 I think it’s the maturity level difference. 18/19 may not seem like too much of an age difference from 25 for you, but there is definitely a maturity difference that creates Barriers
Lol relatable. I was hit on by a 17 year old once who thought I was his age. I'm 28. Lemme tell you it was the most awkward thing out. Like I'm the one who got hit on and I still felt like the creep. It also cemented for me that men past 25 who hit on girls who are 17-18 are definitely creeps. You can tell they're still children just by the way they act.
I feel like ppl have this assumption that 25+ year olds start to look “old” because when people hit college age, a good amount of them start heavily drinking/vaping/partying & you can see the effect it has on them physically over time. But literally all you have to do is not poison your body and you won’t age dramatically like others. And genetics play a big factor
This video is so disrespectful. Nobody thought she looked too old. And the reason why everyone is making a big deal about her age is exactly why she hid it.
She looks 30. She's taken care of herself but she doesn't look like a 20 year old. Nothing wrong with it. It shows what a great actress she is to be able to play a younger girl so well
Agree 100000%. Everyone on this show does not look like a high schooler. Love the show but let’s be real. With that turning my mom into me trend I think people should be able to tell that clothing, make up, attitude, and working out make a huge difference. She just looks like a 30 year old that stays w the times. People are always shocked that I’m 35. I get an “oh wow, really, I thought you were my age” a lot from ppl in their 20s. I am not out there fishing for compliments, I look my age imo. Again I just keep up w trends.
Nope, she doesn’t look 17 but she does look 25, not 30. You’re a bit off and that’s bc a 30 year old barely hit 30 and therefore can pass as a 25 yr old and so on and so on.
I meeaaan, almost in every famous show teens are played by people who are in their mid/late twenties or early thirties. And she is incredibly good at acting, so why does it even matter.
Atleast she can still slay in her 30’s as a 17 year old. The one’s talking shit would actually sit in front of their tv screens while their whole body is aching in their 30’s
Women in their 20s play teenagers all the time. It’s recommended for actors to be over 18 to portray roles to avoid child labor laws. I would be more than happy to play a teenager even though I’m 23 years old. ❤❤❤❤
I hope I age as well as Alexa Demie when I'm in my 30s. Also, Euphoria isn't the first teen show to hire actors who are well into adulthood. As long as she can act well, that's fine by me.
Except heartstopper and Di4ri, I don't think I saw other Highschool teen drama where the students are played by actual teenagers . Not Glee, not elite, or sex education.
As someone who was a teenager in the 90's where almost of our teen shows were cast with people in their late 20's and early 30's I'm not seeing the problem. Also to that classmate that exposed her age "does it get boring, being that much of a hater?"
Reminds me of Dawsons Creek in the 90s and I think it’s great because the material is adult even though it’s about teenagers. Better to have someone with maturity play the role imho
I don’t believe that anyone “noticed that she looked older to be playing a high schooler” lol I think that people found out her age because it was never a secret & went berserk. She honestly looks A exactly how most high schoolers now look. And B exactly like she did in high school herself 😂 it’s not anything new actually. I grew up in the 90s & all those movies & tv shows back then featured casts who were in their 20s-30s 😭
I honestly don’t care that she is older than her co-stars and I hope no one else is. No matter how old she gets she will still be out talents and confident queen Maddy Perez
In the clueless movie one of the characters was I believe 33 playing a high school student Hollywood always does this they can't get anyone high school age to play a high schooler

Except heartstopper and Di4ri, I don't think I saw other Highschool teen drama where the students are played by actual teenagers . Not Glee, not elite, or sex education.
As someone who was a teenager in the 90's where almost of our teen shows were cast with people in their late 20's and early 30's I'm not seeing the problem.
Also to that classmate that exposed her age "does it get boring, being that much of a hater?"
I think she pulled the role off perfectly!
She’s perfect for the role!!!! And we love her. Bue
Reminds me of Dawsons Creek in the 90s and I think it’s great because the material is adult even though it’s about teenagers. Better to have someone with maturity play the role imho
i feel like shes one of those souls that will forever stay young and she’s just so pretty and youthful
The crazy part is that she still fits the character either way her age might be old but her face and heights is 17
We literally grew up with High School Musical and for some, Glee
Most of the characters looked a lot older than their roles lol
Look at all the characters from “Scary Movie” 😂
I don’t believe that anyone “noticed that she looked older to be playing a high schooler” lol I think that people found out her age because it was never a secret & went berserk. She honestly looks A exactly how most high schoolers now look. And B exactly like she did in high school herself 😂 it’s not anything new actually. I grew up in the 90s & all those movies & tv shows back then featured casts who were in their 20s-30s 😭
I honestly don’t care that she is older than her co-stars and I hope no one else is. No matter how old she gets she will still be out talents and confident queen Maddy Perez
She dominated this roll and looks much more like a high schooler than some other actors playing teenagers
She looks like a teenager that matured early in the show to me. I would’ve guessed her real age as 26 or so
Some people never grew up watching Grease and it shows. That movie had no right convincing us that those actors were teens.
she looks like a high school so don’t even say she looks “old” because she look gosh darn gorgeous
Bianca Lawson was playing teenagers on Pretty Little Liars and was almost 40
Myra from Family Matters was in her 30s too!
In the clueless movie one of the characters was I believe 33 playing a high school student Hollywood always does this they can't get anyone high school age to play a high schooler
She is the only one who can play Maddy😩🧡
I donnot believe, she looks so cuteeee and pretty.She is my the most favourite girl in EUPHORIA
Some 17 year olds sometimes even look older than 30 year olds
