Remembering When: The Descendants Cast's Ages in the First Movie

Ever found yourself at a party, trying to guess someone's age, only to realize you've been talking to them for hours and still have no clue? That's kind of what it's like trying to pinpoint the ages of the Descendants cast in the first movie. But don't worry, we're not about to play 'Guess the Age' with our favorite Disney stars. Instead, let's take a stroll down memory lane and see how old they were when they first enchanted us as the kids of our favorite villains.

Dove Cameron - Mal

When Dove Cameron first slipped into Mal's evil (but oh-so-stylish) shoes, she was just a baby-faced 18-year-old. Can you believe it? She was practically a teenager herself when she was playing the daughter of Maleficent. Talk about typecasting, right? But hey, who wouldn't want to play the daughter of one of Disney's most iconic villains?

Now, fast forward to today, and Dove is all grown up, turning 26 this year. That's right, folks, she's officially in her mid-twenties. Where does the time go? It's like watching your little cousin grow up and suddenly become the cool aunt who tells all the best stories.

Cameron Boyce - Carlos

Speaking of growing up, let's talk about Cameron Boyce. When he first graced our screens as Carlos, the son of Cruella de Vil, he was just 16 years old. Sixteen! Can you even remember what you were doing at that age? Probably not trying to save the world from your evil mother, that's for sure.

Cameron was a true ray of sunshine, both on and off screen. Unfortunately, he left us too soon, but his legacy lives on in the Descendants franchise. He was just 20 years old when he passed away in 2019. It's a reminder that life is short, and we should cherish every moment with the people we love.

The Rest of the Gang

Now, let's not forget about the rest of the gang. Booboo Stewart, who played Jay, the son of Jafar, was 21 when the first movie came out. And Mitchell Hope, who played Ben, the son of Belle and Beast, was 19. Fun fact: Mitchell is actually Australian, which explains why Ben has a slight accent. It's like when your friend from another country tries to order a pizza, and you can't help but laugh because it's just so darn cute.

And what about the villains-turned-parents? Well, Kirsten Storms (Honey Lemon) was 34, Wendie Malick (Joy Perfume) was 63, and Bella Thorne (Audrey) was 17. See, even the grown-ups were having a blast playing dress-up as our favorite villains.

So, How Old Were They Again?

Alright, let's do a quick recap. In the first Descendants movie, the main cast was made up of teenagers playing teenagers. It's like when you're at a family reunion, and you realize that all your cousins are now taller than you. It's a weird feeling, but also kind of amazing to see how much they've grown.

Here's a quick breakdown: - Dove Cameron (Mal) was 18 - Cameron Boyce (Carlos) was 16 - Booboo Stewart (Jay) was 21 - Mitchell Hope (Ben) was 19 - Kirsten Storms (Honey Lemon) was 34 - Wendie Malick (Joy Perfume) was 63 - Bella Thorne (Audrey) was 17

And there you have it. The ages of the Descendants cast in the first movie. It's like looking at an old family photo album and realizing that time has flown by. But hey, at least we'll always have the movies to remind us of how far we've all come.

Now, who's ready to queue up the first movie and have a good old-fashioned sing-along? I know I am. After all, there's nothing quite like a little nostalgia to make you feel young again. Or at least, young at heart.
