I was watching Sixteen candles right now, and wondered how Justin Henry looks now. So jumped on here and started to read his bio. So can anyone shed some light on my confusion here? So here's the thing.. he was 7 .. when he did Kramer v. Kramer, and that was in 1979. Possibly even '78 with a distribution year of '79. And then it says that Sixteen Candles was made in '84. So if you do the math on that sixteen candles was five years later.. 7 + 5 = 12! Now come on.. He is nowhere near 12 when he does that role. He doesn't realistically even look the approximate 17 that he's supposed to be playing in that role..sooo.. anyone have any ideas?

Not sure your question? What does 17 have to do with anything? He was definitely about 12 or 13 in Sixteen Candles which makes sense- he looks that age and it adds up based on his birth date.

He wasn't playing a 17 year old in that role. He was about 12-13, the main character's younger brother. Molly's character was 16 sooooo.
