Some teen movies helped a lot of actors break into the big time. Even more so if the parts they played were in cult movies. Even though years have passed and the actors are not the same age as when they played their characters, we couldn’t imagine anyone else playing the same role.
Today, at Hiptoro, we let our imaginations run wild and put together some famous scenes to see what the actors would have looked like playing the same roles years later.
