Can you name a 28-year-old? Why yes, I can, my daughter is 28. Okay, can you name a famous 28-year-old? It's not as easy as it sounds. Dylan Fugel uncovered the fact that US birth rates hit a record low in 1997. Still, there were over three million births that year, and he can't find any of them. He looked for a week, and found that all the famous people in that age range were 26 or 29. At least he says they are famous; I quit keeping up when celebrities started being so young. He goes through the litany of Disney Channel stars of the 2010s, but found the actors were all older than the characters they played. Sports stars? All either younger or older. Timothée Chalamet? He's 29 now.
After all that research, Fugel identifies four people who are 28 right now, two that I've heard of. Yes, there are more in the comments, but Simone Biles is probably lonely in her age group. Read about Fugel's search at Defector. -via kottke
I don't get it. Why is this a game? Do normal people have the birth dates of hundreds celebrities memorized. Is this someone just learning that actors often play roles where they appear younger or older?
Here's a few:
Asa Butterfield
Bella Thorne
Chloë Grace Moretz
Maisie Williams
Sydney Sweeney
Or find some up yourself, these names may be more notable to you than I:
