Easy A cast ages: How old was the cast then (and now)?

After the release of Mean Girls in 2004, it seemed pretty impossible that another teen comedy movie would reach the same amazing heights. But six years later in 2010, Emma Stone became a movie star when she headlined the new classic teen rom-com Easy A.

Stone stars in Easy A as Olive Penderghast, a 17-year-old student who mostly blends in at her California high school. However, when she lies to her best friend about losing her virginity to a college guy, the rumor of Olive’s supposed promiscuity runs rampant around school.

Thinking on her feet, Olive uses the notoriety to her advantage, leaning into the new (albeit false) persona her peers have placed on her. She changes the way she dresses, dons a red A on her wardrobe (in a nod to The Scarlet Letter), and seemingly loses herself while proving a point.

But like many teen movies, the teenage characters aren’t really played by real-life teens. How old were Emma Stone and Penn Badgley in the movie compared to their characters, and how old are they now? We’re breaking down the ages of the talented cast members!
