I'm convinced that the older characters on <i>This Is Us</i> and <i>Yellowjackets</i> are literally the actors in a time machine.
21 Best-Cast Older Versions Of Actors In TV Shows And Movies
I gotta say, I love when shows utilize flash-forwards, and every once in a while, I like a good time jump.
Ollie Upton / HBOIn a time jump, she’ll soon be replaced with Emma D’Arcy.
Ollie Upton / HBOHere they are side by side.
Ollie Upton / HBO2. Alicent will also be changed out for an older actor. Here’s Emily Carey, who plays the character now.
Ollie Upton / HBOAnd here is Olivia Cooke as Alicent after the time jump.
Ollie Upton / HBOHere are the two side by side.
Ollie Upton / HBOTheir nose shape is different (and eyebrow shape, but that’s really just due to the makeup used for their brows — shame on you, makeup department), but otherwise they look exactly the same!!
3. Yellowjackets does an amazing job of this. Here’s Sophie Nelisse as Shauna when she’s younger.
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here’s Melanie Lynskey as older Shauna when it flashes forward.
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionHere’s a side by side.
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionI’m sorry, but are these women not identical???
4. Also on Yellowjackets, here’s Taissa when she’s young, as played by Jasmin Savoy Brown.
Kailey Schwerman / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here’s her as an adult, played by Tawny Cypress.
Kailey Schwerman / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionHere they are side by side.
Kailey Schwerman / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionOlder Taissa’s nose is slightly more sloped, but their jawline, hairline, eyes, and lips are so similar. Obviously Taissa’s eyebrows are more shaped as an adult, but that makes sense considering she’s wearing makeup and does her eyebrows as an adult and isn’t stuck in the wilderness as a teenager.
5. One more Yellowjackets one — here’s Misty as a teenager, as played by Samantha Hanratty.
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here’s Misty as an adult, played by Christina Ricci.
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionHere they are together:
Paul Sarkis / Showtime / Courtesy Everett CollectionThe main difference is in their jaw/cheeks, but considering how much older Misty is in the second photo, it makes sense her cheeks might look less full.
6. Another show known for multiple timelines, This Is Us, has done some great casting. Probably the most impressive is Deja. Here is Deja in the main timeline of the show, as played by Lyric Ross.
NBCHere’s Deja in the future, played by La Trice Harper.
NBCHere they are next to each other.
NBC7. Tess is another great This Is Us example. Here’s Tess as a kid/teenager, played by Eris Baker.
NBCHere she is as an adult, played by Iantha Richardson.
NBCHere they are side by side.
NBC8. The Walking Dead featured a prominent time jump in Season 9, causing Judith to age up from a young kid to a preteen. While I don’t think these two actors look that similar, I do think the Season 9 actor looks just like a version we saw of Judith in a future vision in Season 8, as played by Kinsley Isla Dillon.
AMCThis is Judith after the time jump, as played by Cailey Fleming.
AMCHere they are side by side.
AMC9. Kids often have to be recast on shows, as their appearances change more quickly. Like on Desperate Housewives – here are Preston and Porter before the time jump, played by Brent and Shane Kinsman.
ABCHere they are after, played by Charlie and Max Carver.
Ron Tom / ABC / Courtesy: Everett CollectionHere they are side by side.

ABCHere she is as a young teenager, played by Darcy Rose Byrnes.
ABCHere they are side by side.
ABCI really only feel like their eyes are different!
11. It’s not just TV shows — there are also movies that jump forward. Like Big — here’s David Moscow as the younger version of Josh.
20th Century Fox/Courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here’s Tom Hanks as the older version.
20th Century Fox/Courtesy Everett CollectionHere they are side by side.

Sony Pictures Releasing13. Here’s Jenna as an adult, played by Jennifer Garner.
Sony Pictures ReleasingAnd here they are side by side.
Sony Pictures Releasing14. Lucy in also super well cast. Here’s Lucy as a kid, played by Alexandra Kyle.
Sony Pictures ReleasingHere she is as an adult, played by Judy Greer.
Sony Pictures ReleasingAnd here they are side by side.
Sony Pictures Releasing15. Another movie example — The Notebook. Here’s Rachel McAdams as the younger version of Allie.
New Line / courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here’s Gena Rowlands as the older version of Allie.
New Line / courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here they are side by side.
New Line / courtesy Everett CollectionTheir face shape and eyebrows are the same!!
16. Another big movie one is Latika in Slumdog Millionaire. Here she is played by Tanvi Lonkar as a teenager.
Fox Searchlight / courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here she is played by Freida Pinto as an adult.
Fox Searchlight / courtesy Everett CollectionHere they are side by side.
Fox Searchlight / courtesy Everett Collection17. Back to TV — when Season 7 of Once Upon a Time recast Henry as much older, I was surprised at how similar the new actor looked! Here’s Henry as a teenager, played by Jared S. Gilmore.
ABCHere he is as an adult, played by Andrew J. West.
ABCHere they are side by side.
ABCThey both have similar noses, lips, chins, and overall bone structure. I would say the main difference is in their eyes and brow bones, but it’s still really close!
18. The Crown spans so much time that they’ve had to recast many of their actors. For example, Queen Elizabeth II was originally played by Claire Foy.
Stuart Hendry / Netflix / courtesy Everett CollectionThey then recast her with Olivia Coleman.
Sophia Mutevelian / Netflix / Courtesy: Everett CollectionHere they are side by side.
Stuart Hendry / Sophia Mutevelian / courtesy Everett Collection19. They also had to recast Prince Philip. Here he is as a younger adult, played by Matt Smith.
Alex Bailey / Netflix / courtesy Everett CollectionAnd here he is older, played by Tobias Menzies.
Sophia Mutevelian / Netflix / Courtesy Everett CollectionHere they are side by side:
Alex Bailey / Sophia Mutevelian / Netflix / courtesy Everett Collection20. Finally, let’s end on some ones from It, because the casting was stellar for those films. Here’s Stanley as a kid in It: Chapter One, played by Wyatt Oleff.
Warner Bros. PicturesHere he is as an adult in It: Chapter Two, played by Andy Bean.
Warner Bros. PicturesAnd here they are side by side.
Warner Bros. Pictures
All the adults in It: Chapter Two were great, but I think Stanley looked the most like his kid version from Chapter One.
21. Here’s Eddie, played by Jack Dylan Grazer, in It: Chapter One.
Warner Bros. PicturesAnd here’s Eddie, played by James Ransone, in It: Chapter Two.
Warner Bros. PicturesHere they are side by side.
