Surprising Age Gaps in Films and TV That We Can't Ignore

Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell

Two fan favorites, Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell, have built impressive careers and know their way around Hollywood. They teamed up for the action comedy *Get Smart* back in 2008, playing top-secret spies who eventually became lovers. At the time, Steve Carell was forty-five, while Anne Hathaway was just twenty-five. Despite the age difference, their on-screen chemistry made the romance believable—or at least entertaining

Could you imagine Steve Carell as anyone other than Michael Scott from *The Office*? Yet, in this film, he effortlessly stepped into the role of a suave spy pursuing a woman half his age. The movie blended humor and action, showcasing their versatility as actors. Fans of both stars appreciated the quirky dynamic between their characters, adding to the film’s charm. While *Get Smart* may not be their most iconic work, it remains a fun throwback for fans of their earlier careers.
