So, I was scrolling through my social media feed the other day, and I stumbled upon this picture of Jack Champion. You know, the kid who's set to play the young version of Jake Sully in the upcoming Avatar sequels. And I thought to myself, "Wow, he's grown so much since the first movie!" Which got me thinking, just how old was Jack when they started filming Avatar 3?
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Why does it matter, Sarah?" Well, bear with me here. I've always been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes stuff, you know? Like, how long it takes to grow those massive trees in Pandora, or how they manage to keep those blue aliens, I mean, Na'vi, in character for so long.
Anyway, back to Jack. I did a little digging, and it turns out, he was born on July 18, 2004. Can you believe it? He's practically a millennial now! So, when they started filming Avatar 3, which is set to release in 2024, he would have been around 19 or 20 years old. Mind. Blown.

I mean, can you imagine being that young and landing a role in one of the most anticipated movie sequels of all time? Talk about pressure, right? But then again, he's been acting since he was a kid, so maybe it's just another day at the office for him.
You might be wondering why they chose Jack for the role. Well, apart from the obvious fact that he's a talented actor, he also bears a striking resemblance to Sam Worthington, who plays the adult Jake Sully. I mean, have you seen them side by side? It's uncanny!

Now, you might be thinking, "Sarah, how do you know all this? Have you been stalking Jack Champion?" Well, no, not exactly. I just happened to stumble upon an interview he did a while back, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he's actually quite the history buff. Who would've thought, huh?
But enough about Jack's interests, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the Na'vi in the room. What do you think about the upcoming Avatar sequels? Are you as excited as I am to dive back into the world of Pandora? I mean, let's be real, the first movie was a visual masterpiece, and I have high hopes for the sequels.
Anyway, I've probably rambled on enough about Jack and Avatar. If you've made it this far, I salute you! Here's to hoping that Avatar 3 lives up to our expectations, and that Jack continues to slay in his acting career. Until next time, folks!
