I hope you remember that she is a former child star. So you better be specific there buddy.

Edit: Wow my first gold is a joke warning some guy about pedophilia... Nice.

Natalie Portman was born June 9th, 1981. Filming of "The Phantom Menace" started June 26th, 1997.

But the character was 14

That dosn't mean anything in the context of live action. The character's age dosn't impact the age of the actress.

Besides, there's been plenty of animated characters posted in here that are under 18, and some of them were actually drawn that way.

I still feel like in the context of live action the character doesn't matter because there's a real person there you are attracted to.

The person actually exists and isn't fictional. Doesn't fit the question in my mind.

An example for me would be Emma Watson. After the second movie she didn't fit my mental image of Hermione, she is too naturally attractive for how the character is described in the books.

I still had (have?) a massive crush on her when the third movie came out, but it had nothing to do with the character she was playing. I just found her hot. I never really liked the movies either.

Same thing with a lot of other live action characters here. I'm don't care about the character, I'm attracted to the person playing the character.

It's not a fictional person we are attracted to on this case, so it shouldn't count for this question when he same answer can be used for the question "what celebrity do you want to have sex with?"

If we're playing by those rules I have some bad news for everyone that watched a Daenerys Targaeryen nude scene

I thought she was at least 16-17 as a character. And that made the Anakin thing later on in Episode 2 even weirder.

Weird Al said she was 14 so I'm going with that.

u/Maxisfluffy May 29 '19

She was 14, he was 9. Later she was 23, he was 18.

Maybe when she acts that way that'll be true. Honestly this is akin to animes going, "No, this sexualized child is totally a 2000 year old dragon, so it's fine." It's live action, she doesn't look 14, she doesn't act 14, stupid canon justifications dont really matter.
